Sly news

A nickname for Sky News used on social media, used to call out what some see as misleading or propaganda-driven coverage, especially during the COVID lockdown period.

Example:
People started calling Sky News 'Sly News' when they consistently shared unverified COVID stats, making it feel like they were pushing a hidden agenda.

Lee: Bruv, every time I go on Sky news YouTube channel, people keep calling it Sly News. Did it change its name or something?.

Frank: No, you muppet! People just don’t trust them—that’s why everyone’s calling it Sly News. LOL.

Lee: Got you, bruv. LOL.
