I really can't stick her.
She irritates me.
She cuts people off so rudely, with an air of self importance. I know they have to do it, but she is so rude when she does it.

Nope really don't like her, there are a lot of better presenters out there that are worthy f the Sky news afternoon slot.

I am so glad it is not just me , But then again I don't get much of a chance to watch tv except late at night Steve Dixon is easy to watch

AgentZigzag · 08/07/2010 16:17

I quite like her, she's short and to the point, and I'm sure anyone she has to cut off knows that's normal in rolling news stations.

You're not one of those people who think the news should just be read by young pert lovelies are you??

NewHouseNewLife · 08/07/2010 16:25

Not at all agent....

Love Christa Aykroyd for example (Look North), she has charisma and she at least acts like she cares about what she is doing..

Kay just to comes across to me like she is going through the motions, too abrupt..

And it's not the rolling news aspect of it either, I'm a rolling news junkie tbh (oh the shame), I have it on all the time when something is kicking off.

I don't like the way she puts words into people's mouths either..

Can't stand her. She is like a rottweiler. Except that is unfair really. To rottweilers.

And she is rude.

AgentZigzag · 08/07/2010 16:30

She's a hard nosed journalist, it'd be a bit shit if she interviewed people like she was on the GMTV couch (not that I've seen it).

She is like a rottweiler, that's what I like about her, she's professional.

Whatever else you say about her, she was amazing on 11th Sept 2001. She had to pick up and run with the most unbelievable live news items ever to hit our screens, and she remained calm throughout.

Crazycatlady · 08/07/2010 16:42

YANBU. She has a very irritating face. And what's going on with her neck?

I liked Sue Lawley. She was pleasant. And Jan Leeming... much easier to watch and listen to.

JulesJules · 08/07/2010 16:45

I'm sure you've seen this www.youtube.com/watch?v=gSlt-vedyL8

But it's always worth seeing again

Buzzybb · 08/07/2010 16:48

It is just that she seems to be rude and superior [she comes across as condescending] I don't like the fact that she adds her own view pt and ideals. She is a journalist and needs to be impartial at work [IMO She can have any opinion she wants just not while on the news]

Rachiesparrow · 08/07/2010 16:49

She's awful. You are not being unreasonable.

AgentZigzag · 08/07/2010 17:04

An irritating face, and her neck?? What's that got to do with how she does her job? If you applied that to any other job you'd be flamed as bang out of order.

Crazycatlady · 08/07/2010 19:21

She is on my tv screen blaring into my living room though agent. I don't like the way she looks on my screen, so I switch over!

kreecherlivesupstairs · 08/07/2010 19:26

What I'd like to know is this, how the fuck did sky news get news broadcasting channel of the year. They are always keen to annouce it but, WTF. Were the only competition from downtown Salalah?
