Well...

In 2018, Sky News Australia sparked outcry after it broadcast an interview with a far-right #nationalist #extremist who has expressed his admiration for #Hitler.
Sky News Australia CEO Angelos Frangopoulos downplayed it as "an error of judgment". He& #39;s now #GBNews CEO.

What I object to is not that it will be an out & out right-wing channel, but Andrew Neil& #39;s misleading characterization of @BBCNews as some kind of rabidly woke left-wing news outlet.

The ungrateful #numpty knows this is utter bullshit, but his servile supporters think it& #39;s true.
The @BBC DG is ex-Deputy Chair of a regional Tory Party.

The BBC Chair is a man who gave the Tories over £400,000.

There& #39;s a VERY long list of people going from @BBCNews to work for the Tories.

And here& #39;s some evidence of its political #bias: https://twitter.com/docrussjackson/status/1206992886841192451">https://twitter.com/docrussja...
