Wow.. all I can say is, these last few days must be some of the most politically intense in a long time in terms of news coverage. Late nights, early mornings; the journalists and possibly some politicians are almost at breaking point in some situations it seems. Kay Burley and now Adam Boulton have certainly shown signs of it.
Also, I think it was a joke decision to let him front Sky's Election coverage the other night - on his own. They should've had him on there like what the BBC did with Nick Robinson - to give a an overview of the results (even though it would've been biassed from Mr Boulton!).
Today's incident surely has to be the final straw for Boulton!
this is a fair point, im sure both news teams have never worked such long hours in there lives, before this week. Cant say im surprised some of them have gotten cranky, I know I do when I loose sleep.

No excuse.
He was the same on Election night (with Campbell), and also, well before the Election campaign began with Labour-supporting staff!
Hahaha just watched the video. So funny and how unprofessional. Feel sorry for Rupert Murdoch who's SKY Television and newspapers were backing Conservatives and failed. (oh also Simon Cowell)
We have seen some increasingly bizarre behaviour from the murdock press over the last few days, The marching into the the offices of the independant by Rebecca Wayde and James Murdock was the height of unprofessionalism. We are coming to the end of a reign of a very long murdock dictatorship and hopefully if there is a liberal and labour coalition even if it doesnt last very long that the regulatory mind**** that they do on Murdocks newspapers and broadcasting interests will return democracy back to the British people.

He was on the BBC's Special just before appearing on Sky - no problems either!
People have surely been forced to leave channels for less.

God knows what all of this extra coverage has done to the BBC News budget.
And... I wasn't accusing you personally or the original poster of making excuses for him.:)
I think if you had to put up with Campbell's lies for the last 13 years you might snap too.
Ah, one with sound. Thanks, good upload.
Campbell is a disgrace.
