Sky News Australia is complete batshit, as opposed to Sky News in the UK which is more "normal" mainstream news.

Curious, is this a joke? I'm not familiar with their broadcasts in Europe or Australia

Nope, it's serious. Sky News Australia is owned by Rupert Murdoch's News Corp, which explains the far-right lunacy that it is known for.

Sky News UK is owned by Comcast, and is generally considered to be a much more professional and respectable news outlet. Not perfect, but more BBC than Fox News.

I was more familiar with the UK one and thought I came across a fake account when I first saw the Australian one. It felt like an over exaggerated caricature of far-right rage bait
