So i kid you not, on Sky News's Boulton Factor tonight they spent a good 10 minutes discussing a tweet made by Sarah Brown about the fact she had sat on a marker pen and ruined her favourite dress.
Is this really what passes for news these days? Also it seems with this Boulton Factor that Sky News is dangerously close to creating a show (which while now superficially politically neutral) could at any point turn into the UK version of "The O'Reilley Factor"

It was a light-hearted item thrown in towards the end of the paper review and was not part of the actual news bulletin.
Really OTT to be making Fox News comparisons on the back of this.
Tories 10%
Lib Dems 10%
Ash Cloud 70%
Ash Cloud, is he an independent candidate?
Murdoch has long wanted to turn Sky News into a version of Fox News and Cameron will allow him to acheive it.

They have a top story and milk it by interviewing all sorts of irrelevant numpties. But never get beyond that. With frequent advert breaks and every half hour taken over by repetitive football results what exactly is Sky News supposed to be these days?
As for the Sarah Brown "news" shock horror she sat on a marker pen, story, what tosh.
Labour folks dont have a good grasp of numbers
Just what I was going to say!
LOL that would be funny He'd probably be still full of hot air though :D
Yes he's covering the entire UK
For how long?? What's his campaign like? :p
I don't know but he seems very anti-immigration I'll get me coat!
He must be a Daily Mail reader then
If that's the case he might feel he has to appear more right-wing than he actually is in order to forestall any accusations of pro-Labour bias
I think Adam Boulton is as neutral as you get. He says he doesn't even vote to remain totally unbiased.
Hahahahahahahaha.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHA.
Oh, that was serious?
I could've sworn thats a punchline.
Already on this thread he's been accused of being right-wing and a Labour supporter.
He certainly has! He cut all air travel in and out of the UK for the last few days!
