"Sky News is terrible."

It's really, really bad. You should see how happy they are this bomb went off in Baghdad and there was good footage. They're as happy as bells. The presenters are terrible, over-dramatic or plain stupid, and the presentation is sub "The Day Today". It's like a badly-written internet snuffporn site escaped onto TV and tried to tell you the weather.

The worst part is how massively they exaggerate statistics.

They also seem to like endlessly repeating every single piece of news until something else happens, it's almost as if the newsreader is trying to make you memorise it!

Still, decent way to find out what's going on in the UK when you're abroad. 'Twas the only way I could find out what was going on as concerning arresting those idiots who tried and failed to blow themselves up in London whilst I was in Denmark.

BBC and ITV regional news is worse.

I'm not being racist here, but I just want to point out that the regional news for me is 'Central'. Pretty much every regional story is about Muslims. I can remember when the regional news used to tell us when a crippled child had ran a marathon or when a rare type of bird had nested in the region, now over the past three years or so every story is about Muslims, usually centralised on something bad that surrounds them.

I'm not a racist, nor am I trying to be racist. So none of you morons start mouthing off that I am being an "OMG Racit"!s".

But yeah, you have a point. Although I'm not 'central', its silly how 'PC' the news channels try to be.

It's got Eammon Holmes on it now so it's got to be bad.
