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.
Has it stopped the nonsense of GB News? YouTube loves pushing their videos and they've very similar thumbnails.
Sky News UK isn't a Murdoch operation anymore and the Aussie one is. That's the main difference.
If the UK were entirely owned by Murdoch it would still be compliant otherwise it would have been fined out of the wazoo. Ofcom isn't fucking around when it expects news reporting to be impartial.
