    Default unbiased news

    It is reported that Rupert Murdoch's Farx# News is taking over Britain's Sky News, run by Rupert Murdoch's Son.

    Does this mean that the news on Sky will now be trumped up?

    #It is spelt Fox and pronounced farcks, which sounds like a pun on farce.

    Matter of fact, far as I go we seem to think one of the better USA news sources for reliable "just the facts" unbiased news is from *gasp* the BBC (BBC America)

    I agree, BBC America is pretty good.

    On the forums I inhabit Fox does not have a very good reputation with the American members (remember it their numpty who came out with the report that our Birmingham was a no-go zone for anyone who is not muslim). From what I can make out it is the visual equivalent of our Sun or Sport newspapers. (If the story is not juicy enough then it is no problem with adding a few "facts".

    the bbc does come across as relaxing informative way of getting the news, but like most news channels it does show a biased, its continued reporting on brexit and trump with a biased slant, mainly round none stories and opinion, even if you agree with the slant it is still biased, and goes far beyond reporting a story , its a bit like a child being spoon fed , its good for you, the only way really to stay informed is to view different media news channels , take a overall view for yourself, question whats being told to you, don't take anything at face value,

    An American friend astonished me by saying that she & her friends like to watch ITV news... it is better than their local providers whereas we in the UK generally regard it as inferior to the BBC

    This deal may not make a lot of difference in reality, I can't remember where, but I read that Fox already had 39% of it before; which was more than likely a majority holding.
