Sky News faces backlash for its coverage of Trump as it cuts freelance budgets amid declining viewership.

Sky News, the British media organization owned by Comcast, recently faced criticism on social media for allegedly 'blaming the victim' in the aftermath of an incident involving Donald Trump. The broadcaster edited its headline following the backlash. Additionally, Sky News made headlines for slashing freelance budgets due to a decline in viewership as more people shift from traditional TV to streaming services.

In a controversial move, Sky News seemingly attributed the deterioration of political discourse to the 45th President, Donald Trump, in the context of an assassination attempt. This raised eyebrows and sparked further debate on the role of media in shaping public opinion and narrative.

Despite the criticism, Sky News remains a prominent broadcaster known for its international reach and coverage. The company's decisions and editorial choices often spark discussion and reflection on media ethics and responsibilities.

In the fast-paced world of media, controversies like these highlight the ongoing challenges and complexities faced by news organizations striving to balance audience engagement with journalistic integrity and credibility.
