“I am not upset! Don’t keep casting aspersions on what I think! Don’t keep telling me what I think! I am commenting!”

… screams Sky News’ editor Adam Boulton as he squares up to Alastair Campbell. Zoom to 4:00 for the fun:

Absolutely classic election telly!

    I wonder what was in Murdoch Jr’s latest briefing? Boulton’s behaviour certainly sounded like a Tom Newton Dunn outburst, he didn’t quite say “It is my job to see that Cameron fucking well gets into Downing Street” but Boulton clearly wanted to say it. Campbell was being mischievous and wanted to push Boulton to say it.

    Clearly Murdoch Snr is getting jittery that he has backed the wrong party and putting pressure on his stooges, sorry, commentators.

    Brilliant. http://bit.ly/9yeIw3 Campbell/Boulton barney. Methinks Boulton was perhaps a bit upset at the way things are going.
