Re: [Swprograms] OT: Fox News competes for international viewers

Well, trying to put the best spin on this as is possible, I note that 
(at least IMHO) CNN International is a far superior and more 
informative service than its domestic US version.  Murdoch is a pretty 
savvy businessman.  He probably will think twice before trying to 
proffer the same kind of content Fox offers to domestic US (and now 
Canadian) consumers to a likely less docile and receptive 
international audience.

Maybe someone on the list familiar with Sky News would be kind enough 
to offer an evaluation of Sky and a comparison, for example, between 
Sky and the BBC.
