To wonder how on earth Kay Burley is still on the TV?

[Sparklingbrook]

She is dreadful, and yet she's still there. So many crimes too.

How did she make pa cry?

cant stand the woman... i would very much like to slap her in the face with a very big wet fish

random... yes! but oh it would be so enjoyable

This thread has reminded me of this:

when Kay Burley asked the wife of serial killer Steve Wright ""Do you think if you?d had a better sex life, he wouldn?t have done this?"

Had forgotten how much I hate her...

I'm sad for her, why does she behave that way? .....can't stand her though....

Omg! Imagine askibg the poot wife that

I don't watch Sky news but if I have to see the smug git that is Nicholas Witchell any more I might never watch tv news again. I always got the impression he never liked being moved to Royal correspondent and then when the entire country went jubilee mad he decided it was a good gig and disappeared up his own arse.

And Prince Charles called him an odious little man or something cocole.

I think things like the Steve Wright episode have become part of her "brand".

Nauseating, but I would guess she thinks it helps her.

Think she is styling herself as a TV tabloid hack who says things the Beeb will never say. The Fox News approach to TV journalism.

(And it has to be said that compared to some of the news reporting you get on US TV she is innocuous.)

Did he Sparkling? Charlie has just gone up in my estimation

I loved it when she interviewed Chris Bryant MP about the phone hacking scandal, and made such a nincompoop of herself that he said 'You seem to be a bit dim, if you don't mind me saying'.

Bloody hilarious. Way to qualify an insult!

Here.

She's a writer too

Burley's first novel, titled First Ladies, was published on 12 May 2011.[9] The book is an erotic romance set in the media industry, including television news.[10] According to one reviewer, it's a "turgid mess" which isn't even bad enough to be good: "Unfortunately, this book, with its dire comic timing, complete absence of irony, pointless digressions, dull plotting and complete lack of any engaging characters, is so mind-numblingly, fist-chewingly awful, that it?s just bad."

Full review.

Buy the book here. I'm rather disappointed at the quality of the Amazon reviews, they could really have gone to town on her.

She's a true Renaissance woman!

Even when she isn't being 'dim', unbelievably insensitive or just plain stupid she still is rubbish at interviews. I can't believe that there isn't someone else out there who could do the job better.

I watched her harangue the people who were looking for April Jones live on the TV. I just couldn't believe my eyes. It was painful to watch. It was a complete fluke that I was watching Sky news as I usually avoid it. I have now hidden the channel from my TV.

The comments she made to Steve Wrights ex partners were unforgivable.

There is also a MN thread on Frankie Boyle today. Kay Burley and Frankie Boyle - my two least favourite people. (barring murderers etc)

Kay Burley and Frankie Boyle - my two least favourite people

Let's get rid of Holly and Phil and have them presenting This Morning instead.

Alternatively we could make them fight to the death while we all cheered.

Maybe we could get them to marry one another. That would be a fitting comeuppance for each of them

If we're talking inane, can we get rid of Aled Fucking Jones while we're at it?

Can I get rid of Adrian Chiles?

Oh yes clam please. He's a wanker of the highest order isn't he? He was clapping like a performing seal on crack yesterday every time the baby was mentioned.

Considering the amount of money these people get paid you'd think the selection criteria would ensure quality every time wouldn't you? But no - Ms Burley proves on a daily basis. She's so far beyond awful that it's hard to find the words - and if she had the money to lift her face why on earth didn't she do something about her plywood teeth?

Anyway - this -

Dead behind the eyes - describes her perfectly.

I couldn't believe it when the guy said to her yesterday "I saw you raking through my bag!" for an envelope he'd put in the day before. How rude was that! I thought the bloke who was having to put up with her yesterday was very good at getting her back.

She's just so incompetent. It's depressing. Does Sky News enjoy being a laughing stock?

I fucking loathe Burley with a passion. I am thrilled that so many others feel the same!

groovee she went through someones bag?

I loathe her

She shares the top spot on my Shit List with Paul McCartney

inlovewithdavidtennant yes, there was a good looking bloke who may have been the royal correspondant. She was being stupid and he quite bluntly told her he'd seen her raking through his bag and that she wouldn't find it. A number of times he said "Changing the subject..." too. She made herself look like a complete idiot.
