message: Wouldn't a column on the channels political independence be valid? Sky News (Uk and OZ) as well as Fox news in the States are all considered staunchly conservative/republican, to the point of outright bias.
It's a privately owned channel - by Rupert Murdoch, and was once edited by Kelvin McKenzie - two people who think anyone centre left are "marxists".
Read a stories message board - it's like Alf Garnett, over and over again. They censor out any moderate comments

replies: text:  On the 18th October 2018 Skynews Australia ran a story on the website "Malcolm Turnbull is a cancer within the Liberal Party". Turnbull was Prime Minister in Australia until 31st August, resigned from Parliament, necessitating a byelection on the 20th October. Nobody has offered a proper explanation why he was ousted. Describing Turnbull as a cancer is really over the top, and doing that two days before the election was election meddling. Skynews Australia is taking sides and needs to be registered as a foreign agent. Penalties for election meddling should also be explored. 2001:8003:AD40:8400:699E:C8B0:56AC:6ABD (talk) 05:29, 21 October 2018 (UTC)

Someone get on it or else I'll have too and I am seriously bias against them considering my political beliefs. Someone please do this. Finton the magical salmon (talk) 04:36, 22 March 2022 (UTC)

message: I added the following in criticism section related to doorstepping incident by Martin Brunt. I was surprised is wasn't mentioned as it was a high profile case that resulted in widespread media coverage 
::: Sky News was again embroiled in controversy in October 2014, when their journalist Martin Brunt and his camera crew initiated and carried out a type of sting operation called doorstepping to reveal the identity of Brenda Leyland, who had posted comments concerning the McCann investigation on social media. "McCann 'Twitter troll' found dead in hotel". BBC. 6 October 2014. Retrieved 23 may 2016. Smith, Sydney (12 October 2014) "100 Complaints after Sky News Outs Twitter Troll Later Found Dead". I Media Ethics. Retrieved 23 May 2016Following the confrontation Leyland was later found dead in a hotel, leading to calls on social media for Brunt to be sackedConlan, Tara (6 October 2014). "Facebook group urges Sky reporter's sacking after death of alleged troll". The Guardian. Retrieved 23 May 2016. During the inquest into Leyland’s death, Brunt expressed to the coroner that he was devastated at hearing the news of Leyland taking her own life. Following the inquest, Ofcom reported they had received 171 complaints to date in relation to the case and that they would consider these complaints in light of the coroner’s verdict.Milmo, Cahal (20 March 2015) "Sky News man ‘devastated’ by suicide of Twitter troll" Independent, Retrieved 23 May 2016.   — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2A02:8084:25C0:380:D574:A687:B40:393E (talk) 23:38, 22 May 2016 (UTC)

message: One caption to an illustration reads as follows:
"Sky News viewing peaked during 11 September attacks, Iraq War, Asian tsunami, 7 July 2005 London bombings and the death of Diana, Princess of Wales but has generally declined to a quarter achieved in 1992–95"
The last phrase "declined to a quarter achieved in 1992–95" is so poorly worded that very few readers will understand it.
But also, there is no need for this illustration!  It tells us that more people listen to and watch news programs on days when there is important news.  But everybody already knows this.2600:1700:E1C0:F340:BD07:6D57:F259:5F86 (talk) 21:25, 22 April 2019 (UTC)
