It is on Sky News Active at the moment.

Basically he attacked Sky News for caring about the Israelis more than the rest of the victims of the conflict.

Twàt.

They should aim one of those katyusha missiles at George Galloway.

Anyway, on a side note, has anyone noticed that Sky News seem to be using their graphics within the safe areas now. Is this new, or is just me?

The graphics have been in the safe area since the relaunch (the only exception is the Active text on the ticker). They have on occasion put things outside the safe area though, such as the FTSE tally and IIRC some of the election stuff wasn't in the safe area either.

You don't think that part's true then? There wasn't more uproar on Sky when a few Israeli soldiers were killed this morning than at how many Lebanese civilians have been killed day after day?

Sky have totally lost my respect on this one.

I dont like the Capitals used for every letter in some astons. Just looks odd.


Indeed, Greg. I also noticed on Friday that they had started using name tags for all anchors, sports, weather and business presenters.

Other than the normal verbal intro at the top of the programme, I have never seen name astons used for Sky Presenters before. Wonder why they are using the huge white on blue though for the anchors name tags, as opposed to the normal astons used for reporters and correspondents???


Yeah. I saw the international feed the other day too. I really like the breakfiller, a bit jittery at the begining, but really nice style, using the globe background. If only all their graphics could be like that.

Regarding the blue aston, Ive become to hate this one over the plain white one. It looked nice just for coming up, but its being used too often now.
