The good news is that it probably won’t last much longer. The bad news is that Murdoch is going to launch his own news channel (as if the world needs more Murdoch ownership of media companies).

Seems like neoliberal money is trying to force this American style divide and rule media on us. 
Fox news failed. Gbeebies failed now they’ll try Talktv with Murdoch and Piers Morgan.

God help us if they ever deregulate the BBC.

Maybe you shouldn't be so dismissive without out anything to back it up. When Angelos Frangopoulos got involved it clearly indicated the direction of travel. I get sent Sky Australia links by my conspiracy loving brother in law and SA is clearly a sess pit of bigotry and nutters.

Yep, SA is dangerous, to the extent it has even had You Tube bans for misinformation during the pandemic. Fortunately a lot of the issues eg abortion which Murdoch outlets exploit in America have long since settled by Australian courts and Aussie conservatives are nowhere near as extreme. IIRC their record on climate change reporting and misinformation is dreadful as well. The bushfires coverage summed them up.

Any repeat coming near the UK needs heavy regulation like his other efforts at gutter media.

Just ask the Dowler family or Hillsborough families how devastating the impact can be when he isn’t heavily reined in.

Sky News UK has been decent because regulation kept him away from interfering.
