Sky News is a joke!

[EightiesChick]

Has anyone been watching it just now (between 8 and 8.30)? The presenter interviewing Alastair Darling haranged him, asked idiotic questions, all with an unbelievable degree of obvious pro-Conservative bias. I know it's a Murdoch organisation but this is ridiculous! That's even without the Alastair Campbell / Adam Boulton ding-dong earlier. They're a disgrace to the name of journalism.

Sorry I was at work so didn't watch it however I would like to rudely hijack your thread a bit

I remember reading on a thread a while ago that you said your son wore baby grows in the daytime until quite late. What age did he stop wearing them to go out in the daytime?

I didn't see that, but Sky News has sunk to new depths of amateurish, unprofessional, biased intervewing.

Did you see the Kay Burley/38 Degrees interview debacle here

It is really shocking at the moment and unfortunately as I live overseas it is the only 'UK' news channel available to me as BBC World doesn't cover enough UK centric news for me to keep up with what's happening at home.

You do know that it is illegal for a tv company to show political bias?! There is a difference between strong interview techniques - and rightly Government Ministers should be pushed harder than opposition MPs because, after all, they are the Government.

If Sky or any other channel showed political bias OFCOM would fine them millions and potentially shut them down.

There is no big conspiracy.

Sky's been a joke this past few weeks. Will be interesting to see how they handle this new government, but to be honest, I've now switched over to the BBC.

Complain to Ofcom that they have breached the rules on impartiality. It wld be a good test of how independent Ofcom really is whether it would rule against a friend of the new PM.

:-o that link is awful - who does she think she is? Reminded me of Anne Robinson on Weakest Link or harassing someone from British Gas on Watchdog. Dreadful treatment of that man, who remained polite. No way would I have kept my cool!

It's The Sun on TV.

nappyaddict Until after he was 1, definitely - sometimes I would put him in 'proper' clothes but I would also still put him in babygros certain days, depending on what we were doing, till about 13 months I'd say. Is this something you have been bothered about yourself? He was (and still is) small for his age.

On the Sky news front - the BBC news channel has started copying them in the unnecessary use of the 'Breaking news' strapline all the time. A hung parliament was breaking news on Friday morning; however, it wasn't on Saturday, Sunday or Monday.
