"Australia’s Sky News channel has become a central source for climate science
misinformation around the world, gaining high traction among conservative
social media influencers and networks, according to a report.

An analysis of a global network of climate science deniers and “delayers” and
the content they shared found the News Corp Australia-owned channel was a key
“content hub” for “influencers, sceptics and outlets”.

The analysis, published by UK thinktank the Institute for Strategic Dialogue,
said the Rupert Murdoch-owned Sky News Australia consistently ranked highly for
traction, pushing the partisan views of its hosts and guests to a global
audience through social media networks."

The good news is that Qantas has finally switched the TVs in their airport
lounges from Sky News to the ABC.  Long overdue.

Cheers,
