Sky News UK or Sky News Australia? BIG DIFFERENCE. If the former, that'd be great, if the latter....

Megatron81 179 Posted September 22, 2023 Share Posted September 22, 2023 I had a feeling that one of these days that Rupert Murdoch was going to step down from Fox he built an empire with Fox. All the best Rupert enjoy retirement. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
