I don't know if that is the same SkyNews that we have here but if it is I would avoid it like the plague. It's effectively our version of Fox News. If you want something non-biased (from Australia that is) then ABC News or SBS World News is as close as you are going to get. Both are funded explicitly in a way that avoids biases (but also why our government has been trying to take said funding away...).

British Sky News is quite decent, and reasonably well respected. Despite its ownership, it certainly isn't at the level of Fox News (or even The Times).

No way is SkyNews as partisan as Fox.

You'd never see someone like Sam Coates for example on Fox. And he's not the only one.

Austrailian Sky News != UK Sky News

Sky, BBC (especially BBC World) and ITN (especially Channel 4) are all pretty good in the UK

Ah fair point. I assumed UK. Sorry jpgvm

You couldn't get away with actual Fox News in Australia but Sky is as close as it comes.

Interesting. Perhaps because it's British, I couldn't tell it was biased.

They definitely are not Putin fans, but that seems universal right now.

I'm checking out your alternative recommendations now, thanks!

British Sky News seems ok - he was talking about Australian.

DW is also ok.

But overall, the Financial Times seems the best imo - they mostly just give the facts, and they are very careful to make sure the sources are credibly and specify it when they are not.
