It is very interesting to compare Sky News in the UK vs Australia.

Sky News UK is a relatively normal news channel. That is because UK broadcasting is governed by codes of conduct and Ofcom (the governing body) can reprimand, heavily fine or shut down channels which violate its rules. The rules require fairness, impartiality, the right of reply and other safeguards in news reporting.

Sky News Australian is rabidly far right channel that exaggerates and lies about everything. It punches down on minorities because of religion, ethnicity, sexuality or any other reason and does so with impunity. It is not required to be fair or impartial and never is. That is because Australia has no similar code of conduct.

So the issue here is Australia needs to get its broadcasting rules sorted out.

its also owned by murdoch. they always have that creepy indian anchor with the wierd smile on all the time.

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"

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.

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.

"Europe is about to fall, the end is near"

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

Which client is this?

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!

"Anarchy!" screams the caption of a photo of a group of police apprehending a couple of people.

Old Rupert making shit up? SAY IT ISN'T SO!

So... not sure if that's where the picture comes from, but what seems to be happening in Europe right now is roaming gangs of nazis causing violence.

I'm impressed by the dilligence seeding the lie, just in case the news pierces the veil.

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

I live in California.

Do you know how many fearful conservatives have told me the place I live in has collapsed into a wasteland of violent criminal chaos? I can only go outside to check and make sure they're wrong so many times before I just have to assume they're fucking idiots.

Reminder that Australia produced the shitstain gutter scum that we call Rupert Murdoch.

I just looked out of the window and I can confirm: we’ve not fallen ( Luxemburg).

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

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

Conservative news everywhere. Society has had some form of crime since civilization existed. Never gonna get rid of it. But conservatives clutch their pearls at it and exclaim the end of the world is nigh. Meanwhile conservatives want to suffocate everyone slowly under a pillow of religion while looting their victims pockets of power and money.

Sky News Australia is complete batshit, as opposed to Sky News in the UK which is more "normal" mainstream news.

Australian media has fallen.

Sky news be like:

~~Europe~~ London Has Fallen

shows random clip from the movie

Anarchy in Europe? I wish!
