It was unwatchable 10 years ago when I was there. I wondered how anyone got any kind of balanced viewpoint, and then realised that they really don’t. I ended up watching BBC America which seemed to run programmes like
Keeping Up Appearances - not something I’d usually watch, but a massive improvement on what else was on offer at the times when I was in my hotel room.
Someone my other half knows who emigrated there a few years ago says that most news is very inward looking - nothing much about anything outside of the USA borders. She has to turn to BBC for a more global perspective.
Remember, Rupert Murdoch wants the law changed here so that news presenters can do “commentary”. In other words: he wants Sky News to be like Fox News.
