A Sky News TV presenter who ridiculed his guest live on air, leading to the climate change activist storming off, has prompted a backlash on social media for his “rude” and “disgraceful” journalism.
Adam Boulton, who is officially Sky News’ editor-at-large, was conducting an interview with Extinction Rebellion (XR) campaign coordinator Robin Boardman on the issue of the recent climate change protests in London.
Taking Boardman to task on the rights and wrongs of targeting London’s underground tube system on Wednesday, Boulton, who was seemingly irritated by the environmental group’s disruptive tactics launched a fiery tirade against his young guest.
You’re a load of incompetent middle class, self-indulgent people who want to tell us how to live our lives. That’s what you are isn’t it?
Responding to Boulton’s accusations, the climate change activist ploughed on articulating his message and defending the group’s actions, before rising hurriedly from his chair and walking in front of the camera and off set.
Others on social media defended Boulton’s interview, including a Sky News producer, who ostensibly concurred with his colleague’s “middle class” label of the climate change activists.
