    It all seems to be part of a pattern in the tory media, this week was supposed to be the coronation of Cameron and now it looks like power may be slipping from his grasp a major dummy spit is taking place. particuarly the Murdoch outlets.

    I'm sure Adam would love to know that he is trending 6th worldwide on Twitter!

    EDIT: Very poor quality: http://www.twitvid.com/IOMNQ

    Probably thinks he's John Locke out of Lost.

    I don't often watch the news (or any TV) at this time of the day, so I guess I was veyr fortunate to have tuned in at this moment and caught the Boulton/Campbell argument.

    I saw this really, really tame interview with Hezza, and was absolutely surprised no-one pressed him about any of his remarks about the current situation at all, then it happened, immediately following that, the tone changed and two presenters questioning Campbell.

    Boulton, he couldn't hold his angerand just showed how he really felt now there's doubt about Cameron getting to be PM.

    When Boulton got in Campbells face and said something like you don't knw what i think, I was thinking it would come to blows!

    Astonishing. Never seen anything like it!!

    One for the blooper shows! Journalist goes volcanic! Please someone put it up on YouTube.

    I've read about Kay Burley and now seen Adam Boulton in action first hard, what kind of charm school do Sky News presenters go to?

    Brings a lot of disrepute to an otherwise world class news service.

    I managed to get a capture of it but via my mobile coz my comp with tv capture is in bits atm - quality is pretty decent though so I'd check it out :D

    He properly loses it at 1:29 mins.

    That's great! We can relive the moment, which I'm sure will become infamous!

    Sky News needs a bit of a clear out if it's to maintain credibility, I'm thinking.

    Smear me just the same as Campbell smears Boulton :rolleyes:

    This is Campbell of the Iraq dossier for those with short memories.

    It doesn't matter whether you agree with what he said - its just unprofessional behaviour.

    Whats going on with SKY News. First Kay now Adam. Adam seems to be auditioning for Fox news. Very unprofessional. SKY news is good channels but the presenters are making a joke of this fine channel.

    Ooh, Campbell vs Alagiah time! (probably a different outcome, and a lot more professional)

    Now on Wiki (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adam_Boulton): On 10 May 2010, Adam Boulton almost came to blows with former aide to Tony Blair, Alistair Campbell, in a live on-air interview. No fists were thrown and Jeremey Thompson stepped in to break up the dualling duo.
