To be fair as much as I respect you and what you bring to the conversation, I don't think you should be dictating to mods. People are entitled to opinions as long as they're relevant to what the forums about and we're entitled to put them right if they're wrong. So I don't think mods should be deleting accusations of media bias. But I agree with your first paragraph.

Thing is - I do think accusations of bias against any broadcaster (unless there's a provable "smoking gun") get too deep-into-the-weeds. All I'm saying is I know where these conversations go, and it isn't a productive place.

I think you have to allow such discussion though, becuase you and I know Sky News is poltical neutral at the moment and Ofcom rules kind of dictate they have to be. But if someone took over and decided to break all the rules tommorow they should be called out. So you have to allow people to be wrong and debate with them.

In any case, the speech that the Queen read out was really May's speech, and was shown in full, followed by Corbyn's response in full.

And to add to my last post if people can't say something that's wrong today, it might be stopping others from saying what's right tomorrow.

Fair point. Hey, look everybody... civil discourse emerging from contrasting views!

Just be glad had you been at Sky in the naughties you may have had to be defending Richard Littlejohn!

Presumably the 'feed' they had on air was coming from that machine, streaming from somewhere on the internet

Looks like it was managing LiveU feeds and images from the field. I imagine the quickest way to get the images on air (especially if they to be first) is to use the web pc.

No wonder some of those online lives judder when the output of the PC is 60Hz.

Not if you set it properly, Ive used Mac Minis at 1080i50 for displaying online content fed into a vision mixer just fine.
UKnews and London Lite gave kudos
