@TheRealPBarry Brilliant Media Watch tonight Paul. I truly appreciate your integrity and persistent researching and investigating into what is reported in the media and how it is presented, also reminding us, of our responsibilities to be more selective as consumers of content
Thanks. A lot of lazy reporting on this.
Thanks. Plenty of material to work with!
#4corners was excellent tonight too. ABC Monday at its best.
Terrific report on #abc730 tonight from @seanrubinsztein on the Bishop Emanuel stabbing. Exclusive interview with his parents. Excellent job. Watch it on Iview if you missed it.

‘Not In My Name’ is the new film by Brietta Hague broadcasting on Australia’s @ABCTV Compass program on 5 May at 6.30pm AEST (and then online). For overseas readers, ABC is the Australian equivalent of the BBC. The film is about Jewish dissent, my life and work, my journalism,…

“… perhaps it’s not surprising, given The Australian has spent years finding fault in Brittany, attacking Lisa, and bolstering Bruce. So, did The Oz acknowledge it had backed a liar and a loser? Certainly not.”
“… settling more than 1,300 phone hacking claims so far, without once going to trial. A quite astonishing number” Hugh Grant settles for an ‘enormous sum of money’ from Murdoch-owned The Sun over allegations of phone hacking, burglary, and privacy breaches.
Wow.
This is an amazing piece of digital content production by @MWhitbourn and the team at @smh It's engaging, well researched, extremely informative and brings all the best parts of old school investigative journalism into the digital/online age. smh.com.au/national/six-m…

Dear climate skeptics, you should read this: your fossil fuel heroes, whose propaganda you chose to believe, really saw it all coming. Not just #ExxonKnew. Because the science has been clear and compelling for decades. Some people just prefer to deny reality.

@TheRealPBarry @smh @ABCmediawatch Hey Paul, were you offered a right of reply on this editorial?
@TheRealPBarry @smh @ABCmediawatch Mr Shields is being a touch precious. The @ABCmediawatch assessment was fair and reasonable
@TheRealPBarry @ABCmediawatch @smh Oh the irony of the SMH complaining that both sides of the story were not given exposure.
Stay in your lane Elon. This is not helpful to anyone but Putin.
Ukraine-Russia Peace: - Redo elections of annexed regions under UN supervision. Russia leaves if that is will of the people. - Crimea formally part of Russia, as it has been since 1783 (until Khrushchev’s mistake). - Water supply to Crimea assured. - Ukraine remains neutral.
No direct link between extreme weather events and climate change? Rupert/Lachlan Murdoch’s @australian perpetuates denial/scepticism when meteorologists are in worldwide consensus. Thanks @TheRealPBarry @ABCmediawatch. Australians are being disinformed by NewsCorp/SkyNews.
“In fact, the study proves nothing at all.” ‘No evidence of a "climate emergency"', reports The Australian, despite leading academics dismissing the study. #MediaWatch

@JuliaDavisNews Hard to read. The Russian Army doesn’t fight very well but it’s brutal with detainees under its control. This widespread torture and murder of defenseless civilians and POW’s is out of the SS playbook. Shameful.
@TheRealPBarry @axbarry Well done Dad. And Son.
Meanwhile over at Facebook Scott posts a picture of Charles and these are the comments (not edited, and the order in which they showed for me). This is seriously not normal behaviour.
Thanks for the prod, @TheRealPBarry. I wanted to do this story weeks ago and it was a useful reminder of the peril of journalists getting caught in groupthink
Excellent. After @ABCmediawatch on the ABC's failure to note the closure of London's Tavistock gender clinic, Sydney radio's Josh Szeps has covered the story. Worth a listen ... starts around 2.38.30 abc.net.au/sydney/program…
