        Not quite right.

        Sky News in Europe, even when it was owned by News Corp (which it isn’t any more, it’s Comcast now), was always a high quality prestige loss leader that Murdoch ensured was highly reputable, as a way to gain approval for the rest of the Sky package of channels among stricter European regulators.

        Sky News Australia (which this story is about and is still owned by News Corp), on the other hand, has always been a completely separate entity and is definitely the antipodean sibling to the dumpster fire that is Fox News USA.
