[GrumpyWasTooCheerful]

Of course they'll shut it down. I mean, why would you remove one of your biggest political blackmail tools?

Just to be safe, do we need to start a #SaveKayBurley campaign on Twitter?

Tragic events / royal births just would not be the same without her Damien Day-esque pieces to camera.

Oh dear, never mind. What will all those scum journos do..

 

[Escape-from-PPRuNe]

Bring!

Last I heard was that Disney are being touted as a buyer for it rather than shutting it down.

Dunno - I can round and ensure she needs saving if you think it will help?

Apparently it's losing tens of millions p.a. Those 'journo scum' aren't cheap you know. My reckoning is that's entirely disposable and adds little value to the Sky/Fox portfolio. He's always been more concerned about the bottom line rather than vanity projects.

However the question would then be: would Fox News replace Sky News in the schedules.

Scorcio!

The one thing you can count on Murdock to do is lie. This Sky News bollocks will be part of a plan to end up with what he wants.

More money? Government approval of his take-over bid? Oh, wait - that's basically "more money" too...

It smacks of an O'Leary-esque stunt to grab free publicity - like announcing that passengers will have to pay a quid a time to use the gopping excuses for lavatories on his aircraft. Oh, look - Ryanscare's being mentioned over and over again on the airwaves for days on end. Again.
