I am not British and I like Sky. Crofty says dumb stuff but I don't mind. To be honest they are a bit biased at times, but not excessive in my opinion.
Well I am British & I detest everything about it
The shows are boring & stuffy, and so is most of the presenting team too
The worst part is race commentary where they feel the need to constantly explain the rules, and how DRS works etc.
Could you imagine football presenters explaining what a corner is, or why a players off-side
What really irks me how Brundle tells with passion the advice once Murray Walker once have him about commentating… you do t have to be correct, you e just got to be exciting…
Just a pity Brundle decided to do the exact opposite of that. If you put a cardboard cut-out in his place you’d never notice
But that aside, I don’t think they’re anymore partisan than they… like everyone on this planet… has a right to be
They call things how they see it, as ex-racers… not partisans

They are a prominent example of the British media that is foisted upon the rest of the world. I mentioned it because I wasn't sure if you were aware if that's what one gets as the default provided commentary stream when paying for F1TV
Yes I’m aware. More people outside of China speak English than any other language, so it’s an obvious choice
But, like if it was a German broadcasting company they would be a little German leaning, or Spanish or Italian lean a little towards Spain or Italy
You can’t be seriously blaming these people for that can you? Or accusing them of being partisan just because they’re British, or accusing the the British media of all being partisan… can you ?
