To pretend those two facts aren't connected is wilful ignorance.Mentioning think tanks - and related to this thread - whatever happened to Polly Mackenzie of Demos, given as she used to be a regular Sky News (as well as BBC when they used to do it) newspaper reviewer?
As for dodgy think tanks, I'm mainly referring to those that are incredibly publicly opaque about their funding, but whom it is well known within Westminster receive significant amounts of money on the behalf of certain industries to produce research that is in line with their preferences. Despite this, they are presented by broadcasters as dispassionate parties whose contribution to the debate is in the public interest, rather than being a front. The Institute for Economic Affairs, for instance, is heavily financially tied to the oil and tobacco industries and has coincidentally produced multiples reports critical of government attempts to tackle climate change or smoking. They are then invited to appear on panel debates as merely 'critical' voices on such matters, without the provenance of their funding being explained to viewers. I would regard that as a lapse in journalistic integrity as the broadcaster is effectively laundering the views of the oil or tobacco industry through a neutral sounding third party that would require advanced audience knowledge of to know was tied to said industry.

The Politics Hub seems good enough. Makes sense to have a dedicated 'daily' politics show in the long lead up to a General Election.
I just wish they'd do something creative with the theme music. The approach Sky Sports News have taken would be ideal, with different mixes of the same theme throughout the day to vary it up a bit.

Has the new Ridge show also got another inane commentator panel?
RE: Sky News - TMD_24 - 04-09-2023
Whilst we wait for Sarah-Jane Mee's and Yalda's new shows to start, Anna Botting will be doing 8pm-12am.

Sophie Ridges's Politics Hub is a fantastic watch.
Naturally she had slam dunk guests, but what a job from watching the other tripe in offer elsewhere.
Bravo Sky again!

RE: Sky News - steve - 04-09-2023
Sophy is really good, isn’t she - natural warmth but forensically brutal. Very much of the Frost-esque approach where it may seem affable and friendly, but there’s a killer question coming.
RE: Sky News - RJLD24 - 05-09-2023
Really liked Politics Hub as a show. Only issue I have is the panel (I'd rather we see more of the Politics correspondents etc), and the slightly awkward set up of the 'big interviews' where the minister is in the middle of Sophy and the panel. Would be better to have the Minister sat at the main desk in the usual newsreader position as Sophy sits on the left side. I like the addition of the touch screen. Hopefully they use that for the other primetime shows should they come from Westminster.
