Eeeh just look at this shameless hounding of an old woman by the press. My moan isn't at Gordon Brown as I think he has a right to have an opinion. However, in his line of work it's obviously incredibly important not to be so bleeding careless about broadcasting it before an election. The moan is directed at the reporters' over-the-top persistance at getting a reaction out of this woman and their incredible arrogance in thinking that their job objectives have priority over her privacy.
As a journo student, I recognise that it's important to be persistant but they overstep the mark. Is it just me or does it seem they are asking questions just for the sake of asking a question? What really got my goat was how they chuckled that Mrs Duffy had the sheer audacity to answer her phone while being on "sky news and many other channels". How fascinatingly patronising that Sky News man is as he interupts her phone conversation with his hand on her shoulder, presuming that the only reason she'd get a phone call at that moment in time is because she's on the telly.
What a pair of twats.
