Sky News is really two different channels. It's straight news/weather
during the daytime, and then opinion (overwhelmingly right wing) after
6pm.

Whether you consider what you viewed to be biased would heavily depend
on what time you were viewing (and if it were live to air or
prepackaged as provided on planes and at railway stations), and your
own political views of course.

Where Minister Allan was completely misinformed was about the specific
content aired on the railway station screens, which was confined to
news and weather, not opinion. The interview with the Nazi was not
shown in the railway stations.

Oh please. It's not censorship to get a program removed from a dozen
TV screens in three properties you (indirectly) administer.

Using the law to remove it off the air completely, preventing anybody
watching who wants to tune in - *that* would be censorship.

The bigger question is why passengers have to put up with TV screens
blaring ads and news in stations at all.
