A Sky News reporter has infuriated viewers by referring to last night's brutal attack in Nice as 'vintage Isis'.
Viewers took to Twitter to chastise reporter Lisa Holland for her 'disgusting' choice of words, which they referred to as 'gutter journalism'.
She used the words just a couple of hours after the attack which killed at least 84 people celebrating Bastille Day in the southern French city at around 10.30pm local time last night.

Why the Hell are people outraged over that? It IS vintage ISIS, or at least, Islam.
There are probably a lot of people way more pissed about that than the actual carnage.
And we know who they probably are. The people who don’t want us to “jump to conclusions”.
Has the prissydent mentioned ISIL yet?
She meant “classic,” or “typical.” Reporters and talking heads misuse words all the time, just like the rest of the general population now that the three Rs have been replaced with “social justice.” Everything is “impacted,” “literally...”
I see the vocabulary Nazi’s are on their high horse.
end eid now
I must be part of the problem...I have NO idea what she said that was wrong...WTF did she say that was wrong/or a lie.
The English language (or at least the average person’s command of it) has been very much debased. I proffer the sad rise of the work “icon” as an example.
Yeah, it’s still early here.
“the three Rs have been replaced with “social justice.” Everything is “impacted,” “literally...”..........
If it isn’t politically correct its NOTHING.
JV. What happens when they reach varsity level?
Things go boom
See how conditioned the human mind can become.....”yawn, just another terrorist attack”

The English Language has been worse than debased, My FRiend. It has been bastardized, perverted, profained,â€Black†Englished, slanged to the point that intelligent, informative, and interesting conversations are a thing of the past. I used to enjoy listening to Englishmen converse with each other. The colorful ways they, without resorting to profanity were a joy to hear. Now, every other word is either,”like” or “motherfuck”.
"Icon" has replaced a half-dozen words, at least, in everyday usage, e.g., role-model, idol, hero, exemplar, leading-light, master, etc. I hope it days from overuse.
I see "vintage" in the same category, though this reporter was speaking off the cuff and should be given a pass.
I really need more coffee . . . or switch to espresso.
