2 of those reports were paywalled or blocked to us. Our reading of this outlet is built on the 0 we could open, not on everything it published.

We have not seen Sky News Australia cover a story that outlets rated right were largely absent from.

Across the 2 stories of ours where at least three of the reports we listed carried a time, another outlet was always ahead of Sky News Australia: its report arrived a median of 4 days after the earliest one we logged.

Measured 15 September 2026. Last seen in a coverage list 15 September 2026. Ratings pulled 15 September 2026.

Other outlets rated the same way

Publishers carrying the same published leaning as Sky News Australia, also publishing from Australia, ordered by how often we have seen them on a story. Sharing a rating is not the same as being alike.

Think this page is wrong?

The leanings above are published by AllSides, Ad Fontes Media and Media Bias/Fact Check, and we republish them rather than make them. If you think one is misapplied, the strongest place to say so is with the organisation that made it, and every verdict here links to their page.

What we are responsible for is everything else: the ownership chain, where Sky News Australia publishes from, which of our stories we have listed it on, and whether we have the right publisher at all. Tell us what is wrong and an editor reads it.

Anything we correct is written up in the public corrections log. We do not publish reader votes as a rating, because an unattributed rating is the thing this site exists to argue against.
