I mean, come on. I know by now that Sky News, a broadcaster that doesn't deserve the 'News' moniker and that will happily platform actual fascists if it serves their agenda, never tires of taking cheap shots at the ABC, with the declared objective to undermine its credibility. I know that Bronwyn Bishop has gone full cryptofascist and is probably starting to get senile. I shouldn't be surprised at shit like this. But for some reason, whenever I think these people can't possibly go any lower, they grab a bigger excavator and keep on digging.

Bronwyn, who jaunts about the country in helicopters to social events, with our tax money.

Bron, who when caught, refused to see the issue.

Bronny, when govt were forced to do something, was sent to Europe to live it up, at our expense, to show how much trouble she was in.

She's a drain on our country, and is as brazenly corrupt as it gets.

Guaranteed she's got beef, as they've exposed something she's done, and wants to hurt them. She's a stain on our society.

Ahhh Bronwyn! I could Nazi that coming!

On a side note, I’ve just finished installing a whole lot of vertical searchlights at her home for the annual Christmas celebrations. I hear all her guests will be Gobbelling down the drinks while saluting some kind of whole potato.

Well that's certainly the pot calling the kettle black

It’s amazing how many dictators and wannabe-dictators are accusing their opponents of being Nazis.

I don’t know if is because they can’t see the hypocrisy of their statements or if they just don’t care.

This is the best summary I could come up with:


The ABC has flagged that it will lodge a formal complaint with Sky News Australia after Bronwyn Bishop said the public broadcaster was “aligning themselves with the policy of Germany’s national socialist party for the elimination of Jews” in its coverage of the Israel-Hamas war.

Cameron found no breach of standards for accuracy and impartiality in three interviews conducted by the 7.30 host, Sarah Ferguson, or 47 complaints about unfolding coverage on all platforms about the Gaza hospital explosion last month.

She said the removal of the social media post after it attracted complaints “adequately addressed the concerns” as it lacked the context of the entire interview.

Two other interviews, with Majed Bamya, the deputy permanent observer of the state of Palestine to the UN, and with Mark Regev, a former Israeli ambassador to London and now Benjamin Netanyahu’s adviser, were also cleared.

Commenting on the hospital explosion, Cameron said reporters faced constant challenges during breaking news and “coverage should be transparent about what the ABC knows and does not know”.

Cameron said ABC news had made two updates to correct a headline and a caption that unequivocally attributed the hospital explosion to an Israeli airstrike.
