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

Curious, is this a joke? I'm not familiar with their broadcasts in Europe or Australia

[–] ordnance_qf_17_pounder@reddthat.com 50 points 1 week ago (3 children)

Nope, it's serious. Sky News Australia is owned by Rupert Murdoch's News Corp, which explains the far-right lunacy that it is known for.

Sky News UK is owned by Comcast, and is generally considered to be a much more professional and respectable news outlet. Not perfect, but more BBC than Fox News.

Ah that makes sense, so Sky News UK is basically NBC in the U.S. (Also owned by Comcast)

[–] Deceptichum@quokk.au 8 points 1 week ago

Yes but only because Comcast bought UK Sky a few years ago off of Murdoch.
