Before you say anything about News Corp they haven't given Sky a penny, Sky nearly went bust pre-BSB merger and barely clung on for a while after.
Politically motivated cuts aren't, all 3 mainstream parties were going to make them. They are also irrelevant, the license fee is being frozen for 6 years. This is quite a good thing given that the fee is a regressive tax.
