‘Not the function of the national broadcaster’ to do Labor’s PR
almost 3 years in news
Sky News Digital Editor Jack Houghton says "a rabble of thugs were written up as nice blokes" by the ABC after it characterised a slur against the Prime Minister by Queensland Deputy Premier Steven Miles as a "slip-up".
"The article was very strange. They said the crowd erupted... they almost seemed to write a colour piece around it and took [Miles'] explanation as fact," he said.
"Can you imagine if Scott Morrison had committed such a gaffe? Do we really think anybody would see the ABC going, well he says it was a slip of the tongue and then write a tongue-in-cheek article?
"They're doing his PR. That's not the function of the national broadcaster, to do Labor's PR and to write about their crowd in a celebratory manner."
