‘Jim Chalmers freezes out top Australian journalists’: Chris Kenny

Sky News host Chris Kenny reacts to Treasurer Jim Chalmers freezing out top journalists. “As the Treasurer continues to argue his case, there are many audiences he never speaks to, many journalists he won't join for interviews. One of those is our own business editor and host of Business Now, Ross Greenwood,” Mr Kenny said. “What does it say about Chalmers and his economic policies that he won't discuss them with informed commentators? “Chalmers, of course, will not turn up on this program, despite once ringing me to tell me I was right to criticise him for not appearing. If you're confident of your policies and your arguments, you'd be happy to discuss them with people who know what they're talking about.”

The 4th Reich Comes For Disney

I think this is really weird and telling about where we are in this stage of The Orange Clown’s reign of error. ABC Launches On-Air Campaign Warning Viewers Of FCC Actions And Urging Public Comment ABC is taking to the airwaves to warn viewers of the FCC’s crackdown on The View and the agency’s unusual demand that the network’s stations seek early renewal of their broadcast licenses. The spots, which will start airing on Monday, are the latest pushback from The Walt Disney Co. and the network, which says that the actions of the FCC under its Trump-appointed chairman, Brendan Carr, are chilling free speech. The spots also urge viewers to file comments with the FCC, as deadlines near for public input as part of the agency’s proceedings. You can comment here, if you want. I never thought I would defend Disney, let alone The View, but Deadline is absolutely correct: this is chilling.read more
