Exactly this. Kerry Packer was a billionaire but he never used his media empire to shove his political POVs done the viewers’ throats. Murdoch on the other hand uses his media assets to do the public a disservice by pushing misinformation and bias which fit in with his ideology which is just dangerous.
If he was pushing for evidence-based facts and a balanced narrative I’m sure no one would be complaining (except for far right nutters of course).
He quoted the PM from March 15, 2020.
“But the truth is that while many people will contract this virus that it’s clear, just as people get the flu each year, it is a more severe condition than the flu, but for the vast majority, as I said last week, for the majority, around 8 in 10 is our advice, it will be a mild illness and it will pass.” - Transcript Source
Excellent. Since when was the PM a reliable health source?
That’s who he is quoting - Alan Jones isn’t quoting Alan Jones himself, so the scrutiny should be the on PM.
But then Alan could actually contribute something useful by researching from reliable medical sources from certified experts. The PM said what he said which is also wrong but then Alan could’ve easily not referenced him.
Yes, no different to the premiers.
Quoting someone from 15 March 2020 is ridiculous. Quoting something from that early on in the pandemic is about as relevant as quoting someone from ancient history who said that the earth is flat.
We knew next to nothing about COVID compared to what we know now. I’m pretty sure at the same time he also said masks weren’t effective at preventing spread of the disease, which is something we know not to be true now.
Some posts have been removed. Seriously, there is enough misinformation floating around without perpetuating it here and anyone who continues to do so will be given a holiday from this forum.
Credlin, Bolt & Murray have extensively called out the protests as irresponsible and illegal and said they are doing more harm then good. When did anyone on Sky call for people to protest?
Sky commentators also repeatedly push vaccines as the way out (it’s their argument over lockdowns) and even have a vaccine tracker on screen
If we’re talking about spreading misinformation you’re guilty too
I haven’t had a good laugh in such a long time. Thanks for the laugh. 
when you’re caught out as wrong best to just laugh out off.
Here is some evidence to back up @KICK-IT’s claim.
At 1 min 39 secs, Peta Credlin says “And these protests on the weekend, what the hell was that? How did it help anyone?”
Sky also aired multiple times on air, and on demand on website a foco called “big shots: anti vaxers exposed” basically ridiculing anti vaxers as being dangerous unhinged and a threat at the same time spelling out very clearly how safe and effective the vaccine is
Well there you have it folks. What’s all the fuss about? Sky News doesn’t peddle any misinformation or falsehoods. Case closed.
UPDATE: YouTube had lifted Sky News’ 7-day ban early.
Yes, it was a “mass flagging campaign” that caused Sky News Australia to be suspended, not the toxic misinformation they were spewing out in their videos.
The Google Australia brand manager’s telephone call was obviously a robo-call because a computer detected too many flags.
