'COVID-19 media slogans: 'We're all in this together' vs 'We are one' : Comments

By Charles Essery, published 14/4/2020

The stark contrast in how 'their ABC' and SkyNews (UK and Australia) are reporting this pandemic is astounding and somewhat reminiscent of their handling of the recent bushfires.

runner, it is a pity that Australia does not have a source of media that is balanced.

What we have is the ABC and Sky, where bias is evident on both sides.

maybe that is as a good as it gets in our liberal democracy, but i would like to think we can be better one day.

i like how it was on PBS Newshour with Shields and Brooks.

man to man debate with top class thinkers over bias any day.

Chris,

ABC bias is the result of its preponderance of and association with intellectuals as opposed to the commercial media outlets that are traditionally associated with meatheads.

Yes Chris and the abc receives over a billion a year from you and me to demonstrate their bias while Sky raises their own money. Big difference.

I take it back, we're not all in this together the same right-wing loony tunes think that this is yet another opportunity to smash honest unbias reporting and fact-checking!

No names no pack drill. But I know you all know who you are!

Bemusing if you support Chris Lewis on something he writes you’re his best mate, but he is obviously a lefty, per chance a troll like ‘steel-rednuts’ et al, because if you support ideas that he hates, like Essery’s ‘opinion’ your deemed inferior and he tries to twist the facts around bojo. If bojo is foolish enough (or has too much vested interest in CCC, as the UK government does) then that’s his choice. He was elected. Just because I disagree with UK CCC policy (as many do), doesn’t mean he is and will not make a good pm….. its not a Marxist dominated world or ‘1984 utopian’…in Australia, UK, USA ,,,yet!

Funny how come he likes pre-6pm Sky but deplores post-6pm. First, most of us work during day, so don’t see it and must slum it with post 6pm trash….. hmmm seems like Chris Lewis et al have a cushy permanent or lucrative consulting job that allows him to watch daytime tv… hope he isn’t driving and watching sky in daytime! That would br naughty!

Chris Lewis has told us that he is a cleaner, AJ. Nothing cushy about that. He seems to have a chip on his shoulder about everything. He deems anyone who doesn't think the way he does to be a bully and a right wing thug. Waste of space, really. Best ignored.
