That was one reason. I didn't see it as an innocent injection. It was a flagrant breach of the rules surrounding these debates. Coupled with a poll released hours before the debate, and Sun headlines going 'CLEGG LOSES SIX POINTS OVER 2 DAYS" it's not hard to spot the agenda.

I think it's kind of easy to see bias when none exists. Sky I believe is quite balanced.

That's fair enough I suppose, but I don't like what I see. It's alright to debate and take a stance on the issues, but this has nothing to do with it. It's blatant electioneering and smearing on the part of the media. It's sickening.

I do think they need to release polls at the same time though. The 20 minute gap between the poll that said Cameron won it and then the rest which said Clegg did or it was a draw was more than enough time for the debate to be awarded to the party.

No surprise there...

I would like to see the Tories pressed more on the revelation they briefed their attack dogs/papers on Nick Clegg before that amazing set of headlines on a single day!

Absolutely.
