- “I have seen some rubbish in my time but the Herald Sun’s campaign coverage last week really does take the cake. It’s no wonder that a recent Roy Morgan survey found News Corp to be Australia’s most distrusted media brand.”
00:00 - “Now, we’re certainly not saying that independent candidates and Climate 200 should be immune from scrutiny. But when news reporters and columnists of one of the country’s most powerful media groups echo the Liberal Party’s concerted attack on them, something is very wrong.”
00:00 - We are pleased to announce that Jeremy Fernandez will be presenting Media Watch this week while we find a longer term fill in. It looks like Paul Barry will be off for around four weeks. Thanks for all the kind and supportive words we have received for him. #MediaWatch
- “It was shameful for the Coalition government, its ministers and their minders. But also, in my view, for many in the media, who were used by the government to run propaganda and discredit victims.” #MediaWatch
00:00 - “Over the years I have hosted Media Watch, several executives have wanted me sacked. But they left and I survived. As did the program. And I need to thank the ABC for that. It’s remarkable that any broadcaster tolerates a program that rips into it as we have done.” #MediaWatch
00:00 - “But the question for us is: is it good journalism? And in my view the answer is no. It’s cheap and nasty. And it’s done with one intent — to catch the leader out. It’s no wonder so many of the public hate the media.” #MediaWatch
00:00 - Sky News Sharri Markson’s exclusive vision of the Baltimore bridge collapse revealed to be fake news. #MediaBites #MediaWatch
00:00 - “It was shameful for the Coalition government, its ministers and their minders. But also, in my view, for many in the media, who were used by the government to run propaganda and discredit victims.” Our story on Robodebt 'friendly media' from February #MediaWatch
00:00 - Why the media won't touch the Barilaro tapes👇 “... the New South Wales law allows for no public interest defence, so the ABC won’t let us broadcast it, even though you can listen to it in full online.” #MediaWatch
00:00 - “Rarely has there been such an all-out campaign against a sitting premier. And rarely has it looked so out of touch … And therein lies the message for media outlets who ditch election coverage for election campaigning: voters aren't listening to you.”
00:00 - “The sad truth is that when a woman is killed by her partner her death has a much better chance of being branded a national disgrace if she is young, good looking and white. And that in itself is also a national disgrace.” #MediaWatch
00:00 - “Foxtel, not the ABC, commissioned the series, and … was responsible for the fact-checking process. The very same Foxtel, majority owned by News Corp, that puts people like Andrew Bolt and Rowan Dean to air on Sky News, with little or no fact-checking to speak of.” #MediaWatch
