A British view of Fox "News" |
|
A British friend of mine (who has been to the States a few times) recently described Fox "News" as a station who would have reported the sinking of the Titanic as an attack by a terrorist iceberg.
That's about as accurate an assessment from outside as I have ever heard :-)

1. Skye news is equally as bad, when i was in Europe i flipped between the Bbc and Skye |
|
and Skye spent almost as much time complaining about immigrants as Fox news did.
Skye sports net is awesome thought, it's like short attention span theater and i think their commentators must snort an 8 ball before they hit the airwaves.
