Have you ever heard anything more ridiculously contradictory than a Liberal-Conservative coalition? It's a total oxymoron! The 'Lets go forward-Let's go backward' coalition.

Kelvin Mackenzie is a wanker. The most hated person in the history of British journalism.

I like Campbell, I think he was spot on about this. I didn't even vote Labour in the last election, but I remember everyone blaming Brown for what was going on in the country and it was nonsense

[SDLRob]

At the start of the clip the headline says 'mood at La our Hq is good' ... I guess the grumpy old guy they were showing (I forget his name) wasn't at the Labour HQ then

Campbell, die you cocky cunt. Typical arrogant labour shite.

The fact that Kelvin McKenzie was the guest analyst sums up Sky's inherent bias perfectly.

“According to the cliché, Blair hired a manipulative bully, Alastair Campbell, who proceeded to break the rules of honest gvt. to the point where he had to be driven from office.

This deeply self-serving version of events fails to say anything the media’s own role. Political reporters are wholly complicit in assisting PR operatives like Campbell to have their way with them. Where is it written that reporters must take their stories from press officers?”

@romahome297. Yes Sky News is a disgrace. However I stand by my criticism of Andrew Neil. I support Labour but I don't care for Ed Balls. I don't mind someone having a go at a Labour spokesman if they've been a idiot. However they should do it from a position of "devil's advocate" neutrality. Jon Snow is excellent at doing this and I have no knowledge of his political views. However Neil is a tory. He attacks Labour people with far more alacrity than any tory. Ditto Nick Robinson, also a tory.

@densaner77 You're right, I agree with the fact that journalism in this country has become shoddy, and there is clearly a bias towards the Tory party in the Murdoch press and especially on Sky news. But actually, the point about Neil's questioning with the Labour candidates I don't think is right. In truth, I didn't see the others, but in the Ed Balls interview (where Balls got a grilling over plotting to get rid of Blair) I actually think that it was fair that he got torn to shreds...
