John Oliver is far better and he’s not even a journalist.

Boycott…
Fox News
The New York Post
The Sun
The Times
The Sunday Times
Sky News
The Wall Street Journal
Comedy Central has better reporting.

It’s a shame, I had no idea he owned Sky News. I usually found them to be an excellent professional news source when one doesn’t want the Governmental bias of the BBC.
I wouldn’t trust Comedy Central though, joke or not, they’re American, and the Americans can’t be trusted these days either.
I suppose the lesson here, sadly, is that we can’t believe anything from any source at all. Assume everything is half-truths, half-reported, and what we’re being shown is the distraction from the thing they don’t want us to look at.
I wish I knew how to find the hidden “real news”, but the sorts of people that purport to provide it are loonies in their basements in tinfoil hats, alas. Though, perhaps that’s just the image of them that the media wants us to see…

It seems only Sky News Australia is owned by Murdoch and not linked to Sky News UK.

Aahhhh, that makes more sense. I wondered how such a seemingly respectable, proper journalistic platform could be owned by that tosser, haha.
Well, small victories I suppose! Thank you for clarifying that.

Just like my decades long boycott of Nestlé is FINALLY gaining traction.
