But silly me must have rose tint glasses on eh?
If Discovery are so confident they are worth as much as they want then why don't they go it alone?
Oh that's right because not many would subscribe to their reality tv crap (excluding eurosport as that has it's own player).
But hey ho i'm the one with rose tinted glasses on, time you took your head out of the sand young man.
I don't think that personalise this debate will do any good at all.

The facts are that (Discovery say) they have been charging Sky the same since 2008 and have only now increased the price despite having increased the number of channels over time.

(Sky say) that audience figures have declined and Discovery have not been sufficiently proactive in providing on demand services (but Discovery say) they were actively prevented by Sky from providing more on demand services.

Obviously, two sides to the argument, so rather than portraying this as Murdoch v Malone, a more careful evaluation of the facts might be more appropriate.
