The Australian bit of Sky News is the bit that Rupert Murdoch still owns.

The man is a premier league cunt and always has been.

If you ever see bullshit racist twaddle being peddled as "news", just do a quick search and you'll often find it leads back to this prick.

I just feel sorry for his many wives, who will have had to witness what Karl Pilkington once described as "like a tortoise without a shell on"

The planetary ecosystem is undergoing a K-T scale mass extinction. Isn't that enough for everyone?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 7 hours ago

Yeah but its not a cool apocalypse with like, zombies.. or caused by brown people that we can wage a big war against.

Its caused by the vroomvroom juice we really really love, and thus must be ignored at all costs.

No no you see it has to be something we can blame minorities for /s

I first understood that maybe 15 years ago, when I was in the UK during the supposed mass riots there. My parents read about that in the media (European public service broadcast news) about the anarchic circumstances and were worried about me.

I was in one of the cities hit hardest, according to the media, and my flat was actually right at the location this was about.

All that really happened was a single demonstration that was mostly peaceful without any vandalism. That's it.

I'm assuming you were talking about the London riots, there were a few days of violence but it was only idiots who were after a free TV and PlayStation, and of course the one unimaginative guy who famously stole some rice and then posted about it on Facebook. But of course no one has any guns so once the police turn up everyone tends to calm down.

I was in a bar in the middle of the riot watching them run up and down to stay away from the police. They did manage to set fire to Miss Selfridge though!

Speaking of european news I was in Southeast asia when the Spanish blackout happened and they didn't report it.

I'm embarrassed at how many times i watched that thinking it wasn't a looping clip.

Looks arouns: families making a living, my doctor visit was for free, and a friend is about to take a huge redundancy package thanks to state laws that mandate his company to compensate.

We are so fallen.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 12 hours ago

I'm not working today, yet I'm still being paid thanks to employment law ensuring full paid time off.

No, obviously we'd be much better under the American style hyper-capitalist system. Especially now.

I AM PLANNING A VACAY-CAYS. While on a proper mass transit. Vacaycays, I can afford them and I will be paid for days off.

I also cannot decide to which cultural event to go. There is like some open air cinema, with classics screening. Or go for a niche artsy stuff.

I think Europe is in a bad shape.

And nazi russia should rush in and just fucking raze it to the ground.

To add a little bit of context, what happened in Spain was actually the opposite: gangs of fascists terrorising immigrant communities.

[–] [email protected] 14 points 17 hours ago

Sky news in Australia is far worse than Fox in the US. It’s little more than a shout box for small minded racists.

Europe is falling, but not for this reason.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 11 hours ago (1 children)

Actually, it's summering right now. Falling will take place in a month and a half

[–] [email protected] 9 points 17 hours ago

Australian media has fallen.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 15 hours ago

I'm in Finland. Over here every summer there's always some streets that are being repaved or major public service buildings that gets closed due to "renovations". Ha, I know that's just a government cover-up. They don't want us to know about the looting gangs who apparently have access to stealth technology!

I'm in Spain, and can confirm, It's pandemonium and anarchy here. For example, one of my neighbors has spent more than an hour making drilling noises, and someone hasn't picked up their dog's shit. We are a few hours away from total collapse!

Sky News in Australia is equivalent to Fox or GB News.
