I’m sure their coverage will be fair and balanced. No doubt this channel will be available on Freeview in regional areas. Honestly just sad and desperate.
If it's important enough to have a conservative channel cover it exclusively, does that mean we should all vote yes?
Always vote against the coalition, PHON or UAP.
Always vote on policy rather than party, but it's effectively the same thing.
I mean regardless of your views on the voice, do you really want conservative fucks like this to get a win right now? Cause they've taken quite a few hits recently and personally I'd like to see them take another one.
Paying millions for a non commercial channel that will likely be mostly ignored isn't a win for sky. It's bleeding their assets while diluting their message. I wish there were 20 sky news channels that nobody watched.
Then fine them 20 times for misinformation.
A bit fucking concerning.
An entire channel for Sky dedicated to poisoning the nation against supporting ATSI peoples.
My first thought was "is there enough content in the No campaign for an entire channel?". That was quickly followed by "yeah, they're going to make up all sorts of stupid shit."
Honestly they should just outright ban all private spending on this and make everything go through the AEC.
For a moment I thought this had to be The Shovel. What a time we live in.
Ugh. We don't need another Fox News lite channel here.
You can buy little IR blasters that plug into the USBC port on your phone and allow you to use it as a remote control. Turn off every TV you see playing sky.
Every little bit helps.
They're also good for turning off Keno TVs.
Some phones still have IR blasters built in too, although it's mostly just Xiaomi.
Yep. Use mine regularly
God they are throwing everything they've got at this one. They lost the vote on gay marriage and are applying all the lessons they learnt here.
Is this the Betoota advocate?
