“It is the most expensive 15 minutes of tv produced in this country each week”.
However, Mr Kenny pointed out the Media Watch debacle “tells us a lot about the self-indulgent environment at the national broadcaster”. “They are entitled, they are well paid, they have permanent tenure, they have taxpayer-funded platforms and they are not afraid to use these privileges to ask for more”. Image: News Corp Australia
no wonder Chris Kenny is jealous of the ABC, judging by his substandard effort on his documentary on Rudd and Turnbull. it was boring, lacking interesting content and new information on the two ex Prime Ministers. Did it ever occur to you ( boiled egg ) that we already knew they are both self-serving, opinionated and arrogant
How much time, effort, energy and resources does Kenny spend scrolling through content to use against ABC?
How much time, energy and res
Poor Chris Kenny, if his documentary on Rudd and Turnbull was an indication of his standard of informative entertainment, heaven help us all. After all the publicity and promotion leading to the viewing, What a disappointment, I thought documentaries were supposed to informative and insightful. Hey, Chris , I think most of us already knew, that Rudd and Turnbull were self-centered, arrogant, and had little concern for other people. How does your program compare to quality ABC programs?
Kenny has been airing his vitriolic drivel about ABC for too long, It is demeaning to both Kenny and his employer SKY NEWS. Just how much time and resources does he spend on getting information on ABC to broadcast. Kenny and his work colleagues should hang their heads in shame whenever anyone refers to them as journalists.
Money well spent. Sky News is sensationalist bullshit.
He only gets 200k? Outrageous.
Really? It's one of the best shows on TV.
COVID19 is a Hoax and a Fraud! Communist agitators and pedophile masonic politicians are destroying Australia on behalf of Rothschild criminal cabal. They are planning a genocide of the population through involuntary vaccination! WAKE UP NOW OR DIE!
And the best 15 mins on TV
I’m wondering when the last time Sky actually did journalism was... as in real journalism. I can’t recall a time when opinion and commentary wasn’t their only content.
No wonder so many of us poor taxpayers feel like we are being are being financially raped by the useless and irrelevant ABC for more than $1 billion annually. For god sake someone shut them down.
diversion2006 You can’t touch me! You pay for me but you can’t touch me!
ABC costs 4cents a day. Foxtel costs 2 dollars a day for the privilege of having Chris Kenny describe whats on the ABC. Save the dollar ninety six, go to the source and treat yourself something nice with the savings. commonsense adollarsavedisadollarearned

And he takes 9 weeks off at Christmas
JaggerMickOZ What a huge waste of money, can the show that 4 people watch and save the ABC loads of $$$$
I wouldnt pay him $5.00
Barry is a blight on our screens! No I no longer watch Abc with so many left leaners .
Oi that's us paying for that. Imagine how little tax we'd pay if we weren't paying for shit like this.
Kenny must spend 23 hours of his every 24, watching the ABC. Scrutinising it to find every tiny detail of our country's national broadcaster to carp on about, criticise, find fault with. Kenny, Murdoch's myrmidon, the bitter, patently biased curmudgeon, in his eternal service.

The ABC of ripping off the Australian taxpayer
It’s a great show. Reminds us what high quality media and journalism is, as opposed to your barracking whingefest of cranky crusty old farts.
And that 15 minutes produces more of substance than Sky news does in a whole week!
ABC MediaWatch Worth every cent, better than half the garbage SkyNews produce ausmedia politas auspol aupol
We need mediawatch now more than ever.
Essential viewing. Paul Barry's a hero for those who value the truth. Sky's enemy then clearly - with Kenny on the attack.
Oh you must be hurting Sky!
Exactly right, give him an extra hour a week minimum to further expose you bunch of grubs. abc mediawatch
Yes it is an obscene use of Punlic Money but don’t worry PAul Fletcher is in our Malcolm’s Pocket!
That much? Good night. When will it end. When will the abc end, not soon enough
Someone has to hold murdoch to account !!
But like...who gives a shit what Chris Kenny thinks. It's an indictment on the state of journalism that he even has a job.
It's clear that anyone that only watches the ABC is never going to be able to learn anything but TheirABC propaganda. The only way to fully appreciate the bias is to watch both & TheirABC but that's why the ABC constantly trash Murdoch to create a captive audience
Sky must be worried that Nedia Watch will expose their lies and destructiveness at the direction of their boss Rupert “I’m an American who doesn’t give a shit about Australia” Murdoch
Nah, I'm fine with it. I think you are confused about the concept of a 'national scandal'?
Who care what Chris Kenny thinks? Media Watch is the best TV show there is.
Hate the left wing ABC, never watch it. But have to pay for these fat salaries. Cushy jobs if you can get them.
While I’m not a true fan of some of the shows on the ABC .. that show is really good .. it’s needed to highlight fake news ..and if sky is calling it out .. hmmm ..
Oh shut up
Mr Kenny must be jealous that Media Watch constantly puts out quality and has higher ratings.
Pay your fucking taxes.
Chris Kenny could learn a thing or two about ‘how to’ real journalism!
'According to Sky News host Chris Kenny.'
OMGTheMess HE isn’t worth two knobs of goats shit
You know one of your presenters being miffed does not = national scandal? I mean, couldnt you at least have asked someone who doesnt work for you if they thought it scandalous?
Favourite show on TV The only time I ever watch Sky News
Is this the same Chris Kenny that is regularly beaten by Peppa Pig 🐷 in the ratings?
Worth every penny unlike you lot

Chris Kenny doesn’t use hand sanitiser
And he does more in 15 minutes than you do in a week Chris. Its a national scandal that sky can call itself 'news'
Chris Kenny took 5 min away from seducing dogs? Amazing
It's a nationsl scandal that people have a platform solely to destabilise Australian society, and yet, here we are, Bolt, Hadley, Kenny, Jones, Credlin...et al, et al.
Worth every cent to call out the lies and propaganda of Sky after dark and all its highly unintelligent “hosts” 👏👏👏👏
Good on Paul Barry for regularly revealing the truth ....unlike that oxygen thief, Chris Kenny.
I instantly block anyone that retweets sky.
Research. Kenny should try it some time. It would be a whole new experience, but unlikely he be very good at it.
defundtheABC
The dog fucker is back
Chris Kenny must want the gig.
Only way to keep the scumbags honest. I’m more than happy to pay 3 times that much.
Expensive bullshit
To all those defending Paul Barry, here’s a question: Who holds the ABC to account? Just so we’re clear, I’m no fan of Sky News nor am I a fan of the ABC.
Anything that precedes “According to Sky News host, Chris Kenny” is a whiny, fact deficient, partisan pile of bullshit from a clown whose only achievement is the penis he spat from!
Murdoch found out that you make more $$ if you put out shittier newspapers and cable crap with a small news coverage and less talent focused on opinion pushing the owners interests than if you put out a quality paper TV with better news coverage using real talent...
And what’s Kenny getting paid for the crap he produces?
Chris Kenny thinks Paul Barry is Krusty the Clown, just rocking up a minute before his show to do a 15 minute bet. Evidently that's how you do your show, but guess what dum dums, to produce something of quality takes a lot more than that. kennytheclown
The ONLY 15 minutes of broadcast television I watch in an average week.
Most important too
ABC garbage should be subscription you want this shit you pay
should be paying TheRealPBarry a publicity fee. If it wasn’t for mediawatch regularly calling out Chris Kenny’s clangers, most of Australia wouldn’t even know who he is.
Don’t forget Media Bites — every Thursday online!
Who is Chris Kenny?
So, it seems Rupert and the hacks at newscomauHQ don't like TheRealPBarry. Release the hounds!!!! auspol
He’s worth more..
He’s just jealous that he’s never been offered a job at ABCTV
No, it's not. Keeping an eye on the outrageous lies on SkyNews is a full-time job for at least 20 people, I reckon. And how much does Chris Kenny get paid to spew the same predictable garbage week after week? More than $200k, I'd guess. But just how much? Tell us!!
15 minutes of Paul Barry is still better journalism than a week of Chris Kenny. He’s just jealous that he’s stuck at Sky preaching to no audience
If the figures in the post are correct, it is a waste of public money!! I saw an episode where the entire 15 minutes was about the ABC cuts. Such a waste of money!! So self serving.
Why I think its well worth it. Sky ? Pfft...wouldn't offer a single $.
Fixed it for you.
Is that because Paul Barry calls out your bullshit? ABCmediawatch mediawatch
This coming from a NewsLTD company that also owns Foxtel which, thanks to your Liberal mates, received $30 million of tax payers money in 2017 If you think ABCmediawatch & TheRealPBarry are complicit in a 'National Scandal' then walk the talk & hand back the $30 mil auspol
Still provides more consumer value than 40 hours of Kenny.
It's a Scandal that you employ Propangda Puppets like Kenny and Dean.
Yes but you have to understand they produce QUALITY not the Rubbish you and Sky pump out.
Why is Kenny so fixated on MyABC ? 🤷♀️
Not much support here half your viewers watch because its amusing.
How much value do you think the tax payers got from the 30 mill Rupert got last year?
chris kenny, liberal party stooge
No way. 200k for 15 min? That’s scandalous and disgusting. If thats true the government should be intervening as this is not what public funds are about
What does P B do for$200k if that's true? If it is only 15 mins, you'd have to wonder. I suspect he investigates all the bullshit Kenny, Sky News and the Australian vomit out but I'd like to know. Even so, Chris Kenny proves the good genes of the Kenny clan missed him cf Mark K.
Chris Kenny whinging about the abc... meh.
I miss Stuart Littlemore...
defundtheabc
That short show skins you and your trashy shit on a regular basis. Squealing like a stuck pig... no offense to the respectable pigs. Be different if Kenny had any Journalist qualifiactions, ethics or character.
We need more media watch and no Chris Kenny. Is there anything between those ears that could be considered intelligent or reasonable. YEAH NAH
Brilliant show ABCmediawatch :)
How much are you extracting from the machine each year, Dog Man?
I have a message for the man who wrote that:
This is the first thing that should go. Absolutely useless program with a second rate host.
Mark who?
Fracknoff Sky
Get stuffed you over grown two year olds.
Based on the likes, comments for and against looks like the majority agree.
I agree Media watch should be an hour long show so it can expose lazy crap copy writers like Chris Kenny
Why should the ABC worry about expenses they have the taxpayers sponsoring their everyday outlays.
It must be pay for quality over quantity, where sky news is the opposite. It must be rough being on a shit tier propaganda platform and watching real journalists do things.
Chris Kenny is just pissed off because no side of politics listens to him. Even the Australian Conservative Party folded. SkyNewsIsShit
I really like media watch and find it really informative and without fear or favour
It’s a scandal! BTW, I’ll do the presentation for half the salary!
Chris Kenny needs a pay decrease. Worst opinion writter in Murdoch stable by far.
Chris Kenny is a Muppet
I wish this show was on for an hour very week. How much are you paying AlanJones , Credlin & Murray. The ABC is funded by my taxes & I am happy to contribute. I am not happy handing out $ms in tax refunds to your boss Murdoch . You wish you had ratings like mediawatch
Hypocritical leeches...👎🏿🇦🇺🐰
Murdoch media where journalism goes to die
why..because Media Watch keeps calling out the bias and drivel you present.
If true, it’s still money well spent.
Disagree
It is a national scandal that Sky News exists.
Woof
Plus his QC salary nuce
Well ideally the media would demonstrate such high quality ethics that Media Watch would be redundant.
Well, who gives a feck what Chris Kenny has to say? If he says it's bad, it must be good. How much does Kenny make? If it is more than $5.00, you've been ripped off.
watching TheRealPBarry’s 15mins of ABCmediawatch a week is equals to watching ’s whiny bitchy Chris Kenny for a year.
Poor old Chris has been acting very strangely ever since he had that incident with the dog
It really does show quality over quantity. Most other stuff on Aussie TV is utter tripe. Hands down the best 15 minutes of TV each week. And I’m ok with paying for that.
Poor ChrisKenny 😂🤣🤭 He once again needs his medication..
Who gives a flying Fuck what he thinks.
Whenever I see Chris Kenny trending, I think 'what has that arseclown said now'. And it always turns out that he has said something stupid. Yet another reason to BoycottMurdoch and unsubscribeFoxtel
Awww did they fact check Sky and some is upset. Hahaha. He’s an actual journalist, finding out the truth, is that maybe your issue?
Yeah, but Paul Barry didn’t fuck a dog
TheRealPBarry thank god for Media Watch calling out the bias and lies perpetrated by Murdoch media. Money well spent! Sky News is the waste of money for 💩journalism, if you can call it that.
Sky News Lite having a go at the ABC - coincidentally exactly what Uncle Rupert wants? And Kenny not revealing his own salary just to add a degree of credibility and honesty to the story? Who’d a thought?
A national scandal,. well ok as scandals go in Australia I guess. I would of thought there was more to get furious about than that, robo debt, bushfire funding, murray darling basin management, 1st Peoples ongoing traumas, a family in isolation for yrs..
Unbelievable waste of taxpayers dollars, he should just do it on YouTube
Is Chris still scared of using his own account and hiding behind this one and his sock puppet accounts instead? So he is clearly still thin-skinned and delicate. More importantly, he remains a really out of touch as a political and social commentator. Hire better, Sky.
Given the right wing crap Sky produces, that' a tad hilarious.
All replies here defending ABC are all from Laborite leftists etc. And they say with a straight face there is no bias. Truly delusional.
Didn’t sky cost the taxpayers $400 million twice in the past 2 years?
I know Chris may struggle to get his head around this, but producing that 15-minute show takes many hours of research, fact-checking and seeking journalists' / publishers rights-of-reply.
Always take Chris with a grain of- actually don't take him at all, in fact replace him with ten people
The National scandal is that Fox Sports, instead of SBS or ABC we’re gifted $50,000,000 to broadcast minor sports. And Fox Sports is not even free to air. A sure fired way to keep them as minor sports.
He seems to want his followers see the price of everything but the value of nothing.
scottycam
Get more in-depth real information in media watch 15 minutes than watching sky all day with all its fake news by old white fates living in the 1950’s
Another reason why I cut Foxtel years ago. Sky News (Also known as Liberal Party TV) is a national embarrassment. TVSN is more informative, with better presenters
Can you lead with, ‘according to SkyNews Host Chris Kenny’, so no time is wasted reading to end of tweet?
Typical skynews cancel culture, lightweight smegheads.
mediawatch is the best 15 minutes of TV every week. I tune in to watch it wherever I am in the world. It’s interesting and insightful. Worth every cent! Thanks to the team and Paul Barry. saveourabc
Not just a scandal but the content is Fake, Untrue and Politically Biased.
Jesus, what a facile argument. Media watch is arguably the most important show all TV. Let’s divide Kenny’s pay cheque by his viewer numbers and see what that looks like.
Disagree! Someone has to watch the media in a democracy. Are you calling for a ScoMo dictatorship via total control over the media?
Is Chris Kenny still a thing? 🤣🤣🤣
yannow - whenever Chris Kenny has another whine about the ABC, I just think of this
Agree Chris it’s ridiculous.
Apply for the job if it is so good ..... Er what was your name? Chris Kenny? Never heard of you until now. Mike willesee. Ray Martin. Quentin dempster. Stan grant. and Chris Kenny.

'Less-informed voters unfortunately outnumber the more politically aware. Therefore, conservatives feed them all the bullshit they need. And the menu generally contains a fair portion of untruths'

Debate him then.
Money well spent!
You are 100% right. Chris Kenny is a national scandal and I expect you to put him on Jobseeker imminently.
The entire budget for Sky views is a waste of money - who watches that shite anyway.. Sky After Dark much tweeted horror shit show of the RWNJ - talk about national scandal - they are a national shame.
It's more of a 'national scandal' that consumer affairs doesn't take you to task for having 'news' in your name.
And you lot just bark like a dog, you dog whistling no good, useless irrelevant, lying, braised bunch of hypocrites who call yourselves journalists. auspol
Sour grapes for Chris? Especially given MW probably rates better than anything he’s been on.
Media Watch is worth every cent, especially when there are so many propaganda machines masquerading as news organisations. Well done Paul Barry and all your team. Keep up the good work.
Keep away from our ABC
The scandal is your shitrags getting government money at all. Grifting leaners.
Poor ChrisKenny ....bumped 4 the old queen ....can't lash out at Rupert so TheRealPBarry has to cop it.
Totally they should quadruple the staff and produce an hour long show. Now that I’d watch 👍
The ABC needs some serious scrutiny. Look they provide a service granted but $% me some of the salaries dont pass the pub test. Dont get me started on truthful reporting
Who cares? It’s worth every cent! BreakfastNews
Skynews is a terrorist organization who threatens our democratic governments, and politically interfere with Australians Safety and welfare of it's Citizens.
Poor Chwiss - it must be hell inside his head obsessing over the abc every single minute of the day and night.
It’s a national scandal that this man spews so many lies.
Imagine the audience the abc would get if it was subscription only, like sky....there cant be to many deranged marxists in oz propping up the $1.2billion hard left sheltered workshop then. Do it ScoMo, youll only upset gronks wholl never vote for you anyway.
I agree, its outrageous! The way pur media is, we need 15 minutes EVERY NIGHT- Tuesdays and Thursdays could be a Sky only feature. You dont like it because it shows how terrible you really are! Best show on TV and out rates you 10 to 1!!!!!
More in that 15 minutes than any day on Sky.
Agreed
Ah Murdoch stooge bitching and wingeing about ABC...what's new. Whats Murdoch got you on? $22 an hour? Who's fault is that? Being a prick doesn't pay. 🤪🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Thats a good hourly rate.. i wonder if its 10 casual staff that were the ones underpaid..
Socialist idea of the state being the great employer, fulfilling a social role. Welfare through jobs, though not necessarily real work.
plus, why was this gem dropped at 1am?! 🤣
$200k !!!? Jeez
plus, this deserves some serious ratio
the national scandal is that many of the world's worst practices in journalism are because of Australians.
That would be right try and get rid of the one show that has honesty and pulls you up for your lies IStandWithTheABC
I don’t have Sky News & wasn’t sure who Chris Kenny was so I googled ‘Kenny TV’ & this image came up. Is Chris Kenny part of the movie about toilets? I am confused. ABCmediawatch TheRealPBarry

It’s a national scandal that Sky still has a broadcasting license.
Thank christ we have the independent ABC and TheRealPBarry fact checking opinions by non investigative media not interested in peer reviewed factual science, asking tough questions to both sides of politics. cashforcomment is alive and well
nobby15 Ever consider how much doesn’t make it to that 15 minutes? There’s also Media Bites with more light-hearted stuff.
You’d think Kenny would know a 15 minute show DOESNT only take 15 minutes to make, but that require him to know anything about journalism and fact checking.
Chris Kenny wouldn’t have the faintest idea how to produce a television show that actually does research and fact checking. It’s just not in his wheelhouse OBVIOUSLY.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 The fact the Chris Kenny is paid *anything* for the service of opening his mouth is now officially the Eighth Wonder of the World. How do you cretins keep a straight face putting out this endless bullshit?
Jealousy is never pretty.
Chris Kenny is jealous that more people watch ABCmediawatch than watch . But then media watch is honest and doesn't lie to its audience's faces.
Chris sounding a little bit “green” ....with envy of course!!
Chris Kenny shitbloke
There is more quality and value in ABCmediawatch than in every piece of biased drivel produced by
Sky News is an aberration.
It’s about quality not quantity Kenny.
I think he's worth every penny at least he calls a spade a spade not like those right wing twits Sky has bleating out their 💩
This is why rightwing shill Chris Kenny isn't on Twitter any more, doesn't have to the guts to own this bullshit, just drop and run.
Woof woof Kenny
sky News, the home of right wing propaganda
I feel sorry for you, social media person.
Ahh but very informative..especially bringing to light the shit that spews forth from Sky.
What utter crap. Kenny and Sky are Murdoch mouthpieces. Media Watch and TheRealPBarry are priceless, as is our ABC. Sky is littered with hard right ideologues without a scrap of talent or morality.
The Liberals and Murdoch should never be taken seriously all their media is never balanced, always radical liberal bias and only one sided to try and divide the people and cause unwanted dramas :) i just read Murdoch's trash for a good laugh now and then
What's the matter ? Afraid of being outed once again for dog whistling, race baiting and just general lies and bullshit? Paul Barry has more class that all of your so called presenters sic together. He'd probably have more viewers as well. losers ABC MediaWatch

Chris is right - it should be extended to an hour. There’s plenty of material.
15 minutes of truth & facts that’s more than we see on Sky after dark in a year
I agree. We need at least two hours a week to fully cover all your serial idiocies. TheRealPBarry is the best thing Australian media has to develop proper accountability for their ridiculous actions. At least Mediawatch is.
It's so inline with the rest of the overpaid crowd that works for nothing.
Tony Jones was on 300 grand a year. Its just insulting money for normal working people... The same for our political class too.
Sky news is an insult to intelligence, grist for the gullible.
based upon neo-liberl metrics, audience and not time would be a measure of success, surely? How much money does skynews spend to talk to noone?
I don't agree much with Sky, but 200 grand for any journo at a public broadcaster is a waste. No wonder so many of them are so out of touch...
Some might think media accountabiliy is priceless considering some of the harmful drivel that comes from Skynews, especially from the After Dark crew (if that's what they're called)
Is money your real concern because I don’t see you writing about this.
I watch ABC and SBS. Have little respect for this bloke ever since he sneered at FN astronomy as astrology ( on the Drum). Got not idea of either. Self opinionated n full of himself.
Why does Kenny have a job again?
Media Watch is a quality 15 mins! And it informs the public on the bullshit that has been spun by Chris Kenny and Murdoch media over the previous week. A necessary source of truth in the age of misinformation!

nickbarnesaus Stuart littlemore was the best!
It’s probably not worth attacking specific individuals within the ABC. I think this is a simple business case, if the ABC cannot sustain itself or break even like any of the broadcasters then it’s probably not worth pumping tax payers cash.
Research has shown that two thirds of sky viewers are just as dumb as the other third.
Worth every cent to keep the bastards honest or call them out when they are not. I hope he does a piece on what commercial networks pay their propagandists in comparison.
Ffs the ABC is a NATIONAL broadcaster hence is funded by all. These halfwits who say not with my taxes should maybe think about the big picture. Eg...my taxes support NDIS but I don't use it. Get my drift?
It's national scandal that when I buy a Fox sports package I also get this poison of a show that caters for an audience that likes to be lectured by people with no credibility.

That’s a scandal. ABC funding should be scaled back significantly until it provides balanced reporting and stops promoting the left. If it can’t it should be defunded.

It might be related to value. Maybe he gets paid by the lie he calls out or shoddy journalism he exposes. In that case Kenny has only himself to blame for a large proportion of Barry's salary.
FatherBob Sky news has subscribers but they don’t watch the shows. ABC actually has viewers. By the way, it is okay to pay staff at the ABC. It is called employment. media
Shut up Kenny. Jealousy is a curse
Expand it to a live version that runs at the corner of sky news that calls your bullshit in real time then? 😂
Just overlay Kenny’s sound feed with the sound of a dog barking. Same overall result.
Is there a bigger sook in the media than Chris Kenny? auspol COVIDIOT
BREAKING : Chris Kenny amazed to discover the cost of research.
Incredible business model that you would employ an idiot full-time to whinge about the ABC.
Poor Kenny. One episode of Media Watch draws more viewers than he gets in six months.
Oh poor Chris is feeling like he's being outwitted. No he's not. He is just being called out for his bullshit.
I wonder if Murdoch media did some actual journalism like TheRealPBarry & his team do, they wouldn't be going out of business. When does any company, that spends all its time & effort bagging competition, ever succeed? auspol
Like all talk back radio hosts who get paid mega bucks, for their listeners calling to make sure the show goes for the time allocated, or are these callers majority on the payroll?
Jealous hey?
'National scandal' No hyperbole there then. What a joke Sky News is. This is the rubbish on your channel in the middle of a pandemic, Chris Kenny's weird obsession with the ABC
Kenny lol.
I would be happy to pay him $1 more than he is getting now to NOT see his SMUG face on TV, let alone 15mins a week. OR even better how about we defundABC
FatherBob But it’s the best 15mins of TV 😊
No accountability, no problem, why not give them pay rises as well? Shameless!! All aboard the Gravy Train! Toooooooot!
Chris who?
At least he doesn’t have an award named after him?
Does anyone actually watch media watch?
MediaWatch is excellent and PaulBarry says it how it actually is. Need / should scrap TheDrum and some of the dump arse SBS programs Ausmedia ABC ABCNews
Fox should look to Media watch as a guide to good reporting. Detailed analysis, consider objective reviews and humour. Fox attempts to call out hypocrisy but generally sounds flat lacking objectivity
Show us an example of more meaningful journalism in aust outside of the ABC then. We’ll wait.
I cannot believe so many comments think media Watch is worth the cost. Lefty trolls
$200,000 and not one visit to ABC teeth whitening dept.
Sky News run out of ideas again so it's back to ABC bashing.
How is Fido? Woof woof
Rupert the broken record
It’s all quality and not quantity.
As a contributor to his salary, this is is not cost effective & it must be addressed
It takes 20 runs of the Kenny Report to equal the audience numbers of one media watch. That's what happens when you pay for quality.
Remember 'we are all in this together' unless you lose your Job, then it's bad luck.
A reminder that the ABC is famously balanced and unbiased, as proven by their Charter and unending studies and analyses. This is why alt-right losers like Chris Kenny hate it.
Also notice how almost every “news story” isn’t even news. “According to...”, “Says Sky News host...” it’s disgusting. You need your TV licence scrapped auspol australia
What do you get paid to spread your murdoch lies
Sure. Let’s make it an hour long programme that goes deep into how screwed up Sky News and Murdoch is. THE only reason you’re attacking it is because it’s the only platform that publicly holds you to account auspol australia fundmyabc
Let talk about how much your presenters are getting? As you get govt funding.
ZuluMuster You'd think Barry could afford a feed on $260 per minute....
Media Watch is an Excellent show. Does Chris Kenny still appear on TV or is this just a rehash of years gone by whinges.
Of course, Chris has his own media watch show...
FatherBob Yes seems very exorbitant BUT he calls media and journalists out and points out the truth! Worth every cent
Can’t have a decent debate on this twitter feed Just want to slander & degrade Must be all those people who still earn a wage like abc employees I am a moderate, had a GUT FULL of SELECTIVE news reports if it doesn’t fit own agenda 'Don’t let LIES get in the way of a good story
Chris Kenny is the very definition of “self indulgent” The ABC is great value for money, supports the arts, sports etc, does more for this country than American owned Sky ever will
It's called research. It's hard work. Meticulous. It has to be correct, with receipts. It takes people and resources to accomplish that. This of course is all completely unfamiliar territory for Chris Kenny and Sky News.
Jealousy is a curse, Kenny
More money down the drain
Who gives a flying F what that Libtroll snowflake Kenny thinks. He lives inside a right wing ill informed bubble, and has done for years.
Value for money. Worth every cent. auspol auspol2020
More routing by ABC (AlpBeforeConservatives)
Seriously? A national scandal, or do you notional scandal? Propaganda network,which by the way,your clearly failing to corrupt the Australian public with the bullshit narrative you try and push to suit the government's agenda. Most Australians despise Foxtel, Murdoch and the lies
Chris hates criticism. Loves cancel culture though.
The real “national scandal” is Chris Kenny enabled by to spout his hard right propaganda (disguised as ‘news’ to unsuspecting viewers)! auspol murdoch propaganda How is this ‘news’
TwitterCrazyKenny
yeahnah
ABC over to the left, Sky to the right, where did the middle ground get to? Answer is, it disappeared when journalistic opinion brought on by vested interests. I would like to read/hear something for a change and make up my own mind.
auspol the Liberal Party regards the ABC as a socialist propaganda machine that must be closed down - completely and forever. Scott Morrison says it’s untenable to have the ABC taken by the socialist scum.
Yet so many suffering out there this is shit
Paul Barry should be sacked and taxpayers given back that money abcnews auspol
The AWARD WINNING ABC... Kenny is just jealous Sky got no Walkleys last year.
I can’t believe we’re paying for this joker.
FatherBob Oh, so we are focusing on the $200k salary paid to a senior ABC journalist, way less than that paid to senior journalists on commercial channels, rather than the $50 million paid to the Murdoch press to save regional papers, an outcome which they failed to deliver. 🤔
Outrageous! What a waste of tax payers hard earned money.
FatherBob To Chris Kenny.
Love the show. Salary is grotesque and doesn’t pass the pub test. Another example of taxpayers being taken for suckers. Reckon or fail. It’s time.
Poor Prissy Chrissy doesn't like being criticised by the ABC! If you look at Chrisies history you will see he has a very strange FETISH about the ABC... I think he is jealous that Pepa the pig rates better than his 💩 shows!
As opposed to Chris Kenny who does it purely for the pleasure of being among dogs
I love media watch and I love that every time I go to cancel Foxtel they ratchet the price down to keep me. Is that because the content outside sport is less and less appealing? I was wondering the other day the viewer numbers for sky news?
Money well spent.
FatherBob
Awww someone’s upset that he’s had his feewings hurt by media watch? Kenny is just jealous that no one watches and his salary is only a quarter of Barry’s.
FatherBob That's because Media Watch is one of the only things holding Sky News and Chris Kenny accountable for the fake news they peddle. It's worth every taxpayer dollar, if not more. auspol BoycottMurdoch MurdochRoyalCommission
Haven't we all been wondering the same thing for years now?
CK 😂😂😂🤮🤮
Chris Kenny pissed off because Murdoch doesn’t pay him that much
Needs to clean his teeth and visit a dentist before he starts the job!
FatherBob Let’s face it. Peckerheads like Chris Kenny and every other RWNJ dope that is involved with this shitty arsed propaganda network give the staff at Media Watch a mountain of material to sift through.
FatherBob It is a national scandal that Chris Kenny is employed at all - white privilege at its worst.
This guy wouldn’t last 5 minutes in the private world let alone a salary of $200k FFS
FatherBob Interesting take. I watch it every week - and I never watch Sky News. Given the ratings, Murcdoch is wasting his money on all the Sky hosts - he could hire Paul Barry and just do one 15min segment each week and still have a bigger audience than Sky has today.
So what Chris - it's criminal you're paid to do your Murdoch propaganda show
When theirABC can keep producing this crap while complaining about funding I'm calling bullshit on their claims of government victimisation.
Absolutely it’s a scandal! Only the real scandal is the drastic cuts to the ABC. There should be MORE funding so shows like Media Watch can expose the rank hypocrisy of media mastheads like Newscorp... biasedmedia saveourABC mediawatch
Where is my 200k?
Give it a rest will ya ffs
Worth every cent. People who watch Sky news don't have the Cognitive capacity to fully grasp anything other than the RW Rhetoric constantly played on Sky to manipulate it's watches.
He is awesome 👏. I record the show every week incase I miss it . I thought he would be higher payed than that though .
jez_1985 He should take a paucity😁I think$2000 would be enough!
Defund the ABC... leftists bushiest propaganda
Kenny’s target audience: “What’s Media Watch?”
😂😂😂😂
margmopp That's our $200k plus.
ABC needs to move to a subscription model ASAP
Chris kenny is lucky anyone pays him to do jackshit
Media Watch is where ideologues go to bask in their vainglory
margmopp Basically beggars belief that is the package of 15 Minutes Media Watch Guy each week. You could say nice work if you can get it !!!
This debate shouldn’t be about whether or not we need Media Watch. If anything, we need see more Media Watch!
You are wrong Chris. It is good watching Paul Barry because you can get your weekly dose of bias from the ABC in one 15 minute segment! He is sometimes good. Now for the rest of you, if you really want to follow a fair Media Watch programme check Chris Kenny on Sky.
margmopp True. And countless individual vloggers, bloggers, tweeps etc produce several times that amount of content per week for free. It's often superior in every way except for the glossy production values. MediaWatch theirABC FakeNewsHQAU
It's a pile of shyte anyway
“I’ll be remembered as the journalist called a dog fucker” says Chris Kenny.
Great value. They hold you filth to account.
Says the channel who’s owned by Murdoch who is systematically destabilising democracy in North America, Europe and Australia.
You should tell twitter what ChrisKenny is earning TheRealPBarry
No, actually it's a national scandal that sky news exists.
Because he nails Chris Kenny's moronic predictable gutless drivel every week?
Worth every cent unlike sky and Foxtel where the truth is hides
Money very well spent I say. Does more for democracy per person than federal pollies
Better than Peta and Rita's crap
ChrisKKKenny doesnt like getting exposed? ozcrimenews ? 🐷🐷🐷👹👌👌👌🔥🔥🔥🐲😤🤮🤢🦠🐒👇👇👇
Lol far out.
defundTheABC defundTheBBC
But it’s 15 minutes of quality TV that one couldn’t find on Sky News in 15 days (or more). Give me quality over quantity any day...
I’d be in favour of a longer edition of mecia watch - bring it on
It is a national scandal that Sky News isn't a real news service. 🤷♂️
A national scandal? Bloody hell 🤦♂️
