    There are other news websites.

    Both are good for a quick glance at the news.

    Sky News for the headlines and BBC for the actual stories.

    Boards.ie's own thejournal.ie isn't bad.

    BBC for international news, RTE to check local news + local weather.

    Sky News is the worst news channel possible, its basically a TV version of The Sun newspaper

    Worst? Ahead of Fox News?
    Maybe this side of the water true but over all internationally, I'd (and many others too) put Fox News Network at thee number one spot.

    I used to use Breaking News but the spelling and grammer and general English as a second language vibe was too much for me. Irish Times feed now even though the ads and crap are annoying

    RTE is a sorry excuse for a national broadcaster.

    I'd be in favour of calling for a no-fly zone over Donnybrook. Perhaps we could get Obama to blow the f*ck out of RTE, preferably with Turbidy inside.

    Why would you have a no fly zone over it if you want to encourage everyone and anyone to blow it up. Its not as if RTE have jet fighters :confused:

    In answer to the OP, neither. BBC News for me.
