BBC's Robert Peston gets into a spat with Sky's James Murdoch - SatChat ™ Satellite & Entertainment Forum

I was at the Edinburgh TV festival when things between Robert Peston from BBC and Sky's James Murdoch became heated. Apparently, the two were seated at the same table at dinner and had some really bad discussion going. They were shouting at each other.

How... unprofessional! They're setting a bad image.

Well, I don't think it started at that. Murdoch was giving a speech and accused the BBC of wrongdoing, particularly describing BBC's ambition as chilling. Murdoch also ridiculed the BBC's other recent moves.

A friend was at the gala dinner, actually. It was Murdoch who first showed emotions when he banged the table. Then he stood up. Peston also cursed at him.
