Media bias - this time Sky not the BBC

Take a look at this article from Guido Fawkes' site. It concerns Sky News's Julie Etchingham and her accidental interruption of some remarks by David Cameron. David Cameron was speaking and said "Let me outline the action that a Conservative government would take. As we have seen, some of the increase in population size results from natural change - birth rates, death rates. Here our policy should be obvious... " at this point Julie Etchingham's microphone came on and she was heard to say "Extermination". Disgraceful and Sky News have taken serious action, well actually they release a mealy mouthed statement "A comment was made in the studio during David Cameron's speech that was broadcast in error. The comment was not intended for broadcast. The off-the-cuff remark was regrettable." You will not be surprised to hear that Julie Etchingham worked at the BBC prior to working at Sky News.
