Cry me a river. The bastards put me through hell. No accountability
Not all media should have more freedoms, must be earned. Many already write non-evidence based stories to punish the public ... and promote a deadly drug on the same page. Hypocrisy at its finest.
I find it hilarious that the MSM protected the liberals during the election campaign from any scrutiny into their lies only to have the liberals turn around and bite them straight after 😂😂😂 karma Isa wonderful thing to watch....
If you want special treatment, start acting as journalists, and not cheerleaders for conservative governments and their policies. auspol
MSM the enemy of the people and soon [they]will not be able to walk down the street

Australia must not 'concede ground' to China | Sky News AustraliaAustralia must be prepared to take a short-term economic hit in order to stand up to China's growing authoritarian influence in the Asia-Pacific, according to security expert John Blaxland.\n\nLiberal MP Andrew Hastie drew the ire of the Chinese embassy last week when he warned Beijing posed an unprecedented economic and national security threat to Australia.\n\nWhile Trade Minister Simon Birmingham rebuked the comments, Labor MP Anthony Byrne said many parliamentarians “shared” Mr Hastie’s concerns about China’s growing authoritarian influence in the Asia-Pacific.\n\nProfessor Blaxland told Sky News Beijing was “throwing its weight around” in order to silence critical voices.\n\nHe said Australians could not “back down” when it came to its “willingness to support the United States and its objections to China’s actions in the South China sea'. The world is sitting idly by while this continues too escalate! 25 million Australians don’t have the scale to stand up to 1.3 billion Chinese. What we can do is offer advice and counsel, attempt to influence through our democratic way of life and work with the China and other govts in SE Asia to promote peace and harmony in the region. We helped them to build their muscles and now we are concerned when they flex them.

Signs Australia is ‘importing’ toxicity of US public debate | Sky News AustraliaSky News host Chris Kenny says the “toxicity of political debate” in the United States is “palpable” with signs Australia is “importing” some of the attitude.\n\nMr Kenny criticised the media for blaming US President Donald Trump for two recent mass shootings in the country.\n\nThe media often “prefers to fuel rather than soothe” such toxicity, he said.\n\nImage: AP Unless you're going to blame every other president for the shootings on their watch, it's a pretty stupid argument. Trump fans the fire and stirs the pot. He must shoulder some responsibility when violence inevitably breaks out. I blame chris for ME doing a DOUBLE DACK to him in REAL LIFE

Australia doesn’t need to ‘import extreme right-wingers’ | Sky News AustraliaOpposition Leader Anthony Albanese has hit back at Brexit Party Leader Nigel Farage, urging him to fix the “mess” he's created in the United Kingdom, after taking aim at Labor. \n\nMr Farage, who is in Sydney, this weekend criticised Shadow Home Affairs Minister Kristina Keneally for her attempts to stop right-wing figure Raheem Kassam from entering the country.\n\nHe Farage told Sky News the left is becoming increasingly extreme and anti-democratic, a move which will serve conservatives well. \n\nDefending his colleague's stance, Mr Albanese said “there’s enough extreme right-wingers here without us importing them”.\n\nImage: News Corp Australia Labor should know a thing or two about importing annoyances from the UK. Former Senator Doug Cameron comes to mind. I wish he hadn't. Farage is leading our country out of a dictatorship, the only mess is being caused by the establishment who are fighting against our country. The mess being the democratic vote the British people had? Yeah, can’t have that
