Many people hereabouts think that Sky News has become as bad as BBC News, and I'm rather inclined to believe them.
However, here is a piece of counter-evidence - the second story on the Sky News website at the moment:
And here's the start of the Sky report:
Refugees heading to Greece on people smugglers' boats are given a 'migrants handbook' packed with tips, maps, phone numbers and advice about getting across Europe.
Among discarded life jackets and punctured rubber dinghies, Sky News discovered a tattered copy of the unique travel guide washed up on a beach on the Greek island of Lesbos.
The booklet's cover features a photograph of a young man on a beach at sunset, looking longingly out to sea, with oars at his feet as he prepares to make the treacherous crossing.
The 'rough guide' is written in Arabic and contains phone numbers of organisations which might help refugees making the journey, such as the Red Cross and UNHCR.
Among those behind the booklet is an organisation called w2eu, which means 'Welcome To Europe'.
Does anyone here think the BBC would ever have 'broken' that story?
