6. I so hope the Murdochs are found not to be "fit and proper" to take over Sky.

Murdoch wants to buy 100% of UK's Sky TV. I don't think though it's for Sky News. Thankfully the UK still has something like a fairness doctrine and a ban on political advertising on TV during election time (well really any time).

But Murdoch shouldn't control 100% of Sky.

And as for Fox "News"... IMO should submit itself to years of old-school UK Independent Broadcasting Authority type regulations.

Given that this is my wish, and my wishes don't come true...
