Sky News host Chris Kenny says journalists who gave Australians “anti-Israel bias” in their reporting are now looking for more support in their anti-Israel campaigning.

Mr Kenny said he has shown how the ABC is “misreporting and misrepresenting events in the Middle East" as he spoke of the unfolding events in the Israel-Palestine conflict and its portrayal in the media.

He discussed a recent push among some journalists in Australia, “with the encouragement of the journalists’ union,” who are signing up to an open letter complaining about coverage of these issues.

“Not because of its anti-Israel bias but because they don't think it is sufficiently pro-Palestinian,” Mr Kenny said.

“Apparently dozens of journalists have signed this in Australia. No doubt many from the ABC,” he said.

“So, journalists who give us anti-Israel bias in their reporting are now looking to get more support for their anti-Israel campaigning, and they even demand immunity from criticism for their bias.

“They reckon they ought to be able to campaign against Israel, instead of being objective journalists, but be free from any sanction professionally over this.

“Just more proof that the journalists’ union is a big part of the problem in this era of fake news.”
