2. Do you watch that on Sky or online ?

I only found out last week that I'd got it on Sky but I really prefer just flicking between Beeb and Sky to compare the way they in which report what's occuring. Although Sky is owned by Murdoch I've never noticed any particular bias despite the snipes we get from the USA on the subject.

3. I watch it on Sky now

but when I was in the US on the net. Now I watch CNN online and flip between BBC, Sky and AJ on the tv. I don't really notice all that much of a bias on Sky either, nothing like Faux. :hi:

4. Very brave, to die to protest an "election," especially when you know nothing will change.

Rest, Iranians. You are braver than I.
