Check out this video of protesters live on air declaring Sky News to be the utter shite we know it is:
Eventually Sky had to cut away and just broadcast their logo for a bit. The protests were sparked after Sky presenter Kay Burley went mental at a spokesman for the protesters who were out in London and Glasgow (amongst other places) at the weekend, demanding electoral reform, which you can see below:
Kay Burley is also the journalist who brought us such clangers as claiming on September 11th 2001 “The entire eastern seaboard of the United States has been devastated by a terrorist attack,” as well as, most shamefully, asking the partner of serial killer Steve Wright, who murdered at least five women in Suffolk, “Do you think if you’d had a better sex life this wouldn’t have happened?”
What the current uproar on Sky News shows is that the Murdoch empire has bet everything on a Tory win, and sunk millions of its own money into promoting it. If they don’t get what they want, they’re likely to go absolutely crazy. How crazy? Check out Sky News political editor Adam Boulton pushing things with New Labour spin doctor Alastair Campbell to the brink of a fight. He jabs his finger, and sways like a pissed rageaholic, throwing his not inconsiderable weight around. Alastair Campbell is an odious piece of human garbage, who before he was engineering election wins for neoliberals had a career writing fake letters to porno mags. Who would have thought someone could go so nuts that Alastair comes off looking like the reasonable one?
She is such a fucking IDIOT.
There was this huge uproar over when she made Peter Andre cry by asking incessant questions about his children – but this is the first time I’ve seen anyone try to challenge her political reporting, which is always fucking terrible.
She clearly doesn’t understand the point of a PROTEST.
Not being 18, or as smart as Alfie, I didn’t get to see a ballot paper, but I’m pretty sure that there wasn’t an option for “hung parliament” on there which means that PEOPLE DID NOT VOTE FOR A HUNG PARLIAMENT.
I love it that I watched the third video and laughed to myself “Sky news it SHITE”, before realising that that’s actually the name of the blog post. Genius.
