SHARE FAR AND WIDE
THE CONTROLLING MEDIA
BREAKING:
“When Donald Trump calls Comcast “Concast,” he is making a specific allegation about one of the most powerful media companies in the world: that it presents political hostility as journalism. Sky News (known by many as “Sly News”) which is owned by Comcast, recently denied hounding Reform UK leader Nigel Farage’s daughter at her house, before being caught out lying by CCTV footage.
The network has now admitted its reporters had indeed approached the property.Trump has repeatedly gone after Comcast and its chairman, Brian Roberts, by name. In February 2025, he accused MSNBC of being “an illegal arm of the Democrat Party” and referred to Roberts as the “Lowlife Chairman of ‘Concast.’….”
“…THE LIE UNRAVELS.
The Farage row matters because it shows the culture problem in plain sight. First came the denial. Then came the later disclosure. Then came the studio defence that doorstepping is just normal journalism. Well, perhaps it is “normal” journalism. That is the indictment.
The press spends half its time demanding transparency from everyone else while hiding behind evasive corporate wording when the questions turn inward. Sky’s own statement may have been narrowly constructed, but the wider public heard what we heard: you said you had not contacted his family, then we learned reporters had indeed pulled up at the property, blocked the driveway, and attempted to contact his daughter inside.
If a politician tried that kind of parsing, Sky News would devote a panel to it before lunch. Which brings us back to “Concast….”
