Funny.
Jon Snow criticised mid-interview by panellist who tells him 'not everyone hates the Tories as much as you do'
Presenter Jon Snow has criticised an interviewee on Channel 4 News following the furore over his alleged anti-Tory remarks at Glastonbury.
The journalist has insisted he has “no recollection” of shouting a four letter derogatory remark about the Conservative Party after he was accused of doing so at Glastonbury Festival.
But while conducting an interview on Channel 4 News on Wednesday night, Matthew Kilcoyne from the Adam Smith Institute think tank told the presenter: "not everyone hates the Tories as much as you do".
Mr Snow responded: "You can say that - but that is actually a very unpleasant thing to have done".
A photo of the Channel 4 News presenter posing with a group of revellers was posted on Twitter by a user with the handle Danny Millea on Monday evening.
The accompanying tweet claimed Mr Snow had shouted “Fuck the Tories”.
It said: “Boss place that Glasto. Having a dance with Jon Snow and hearing him shout ---- the tories is what dream are made of”.

But the mainstream media is not biased is it?

He hasn't bothered with the pretence of being unbiased for years. So rabidly left-wing, it's unbelievable that he's managed to get away with it for so long.
Surely there's rules in place that news programmes at least try and remain impartial?

I used to take him around on a motorbike and loved the bloke.
He once called me over to the intercontinental hotel at Hyde Park Corner (I was parked across the road) and introduced me to the Prime Minister of Japan!
It's his son's re-enactment documentaries I can't stand.

I saw this interview, what the kid said did make me chuckle although he himself came across as an ungrateful, wet behind the ears little oik.
Not sure someone should be sacked or claim media bias based on a single unsubstantiated tweet though.

Naturally someone from the Adam Smith institute is bound to be neutral.......not.
As for what Snow did or did not do at Glastonbury, and what we are told is purely anecdotal, he is free from his professional life can do what he wants.
Amazing that a bloke who has done nothing actually wrong is able to wind up the sphincter clutches on here.

Doesn't really work like that anymore, social media has magnified what people do and say outside their workplace. Can guarantee if you posted something on Facebook that you did at the weekend and your company thought it could put them in a bad light, HR would be having a little chat with you on Monday morning, probably giving you an official warning, 1 strike down, 2 to go.

Moose, when we live in a time that we have a Foreign Secretary who has twice been sacked from jobs for lying turning up at Glastonbury in your off duty time pales in comparison.

Thought it was a bit of a cheap shot from the Tim Nice But Dim bloke in his rugger shirt though if you are going to be so obvious about your bias you are asking for every little squit to take a shot.
Personally I think Snow has turned to DODDERY over the last few years and Ch 4 news would be better putting him in the background on certain stories and let Cathy Newman & Krishnan Guru-M run the show.
Ch4 news can go off the rails but they do tend to be a bit more serious and in depth than BBC news at 10.
They don't have Paul Mason on any more and if Snow got melted I think it would add to their balance.
Snow definitely shouldn't do the Trump stories or he will end up having a coronary if he carries on as he does now.

Agree about him being doddery... he was on 'Have I got News' last year and was just a sitting duck for the other panelists... very embarrasing I thought.
