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.
