‘Talent’.

Thank god for SKY. The conservative voter doesn’t have many options as most of the media has been gulped up by the left or operates to the left’s playbook.
Sky has plenty of talent coming through and Paul Murray is only in his eary-to-mid 40s.
Rita is early 40’s, Caleb, Daisy, Erin, Sharri, Michael McLaren are a few that come to mind and there are quite a few other young faces that appear on the Sky night screens.
Just like there is plenty of young talent coming through on hard left outlets like the ABC, nine media, Guardian and channel 10 and shows like The Project and The Drum. The Nine Media through it’s print and online sources have nutty hard left talent raring to go. They also seem to be promoting watered down fence sitting neutrals a lot these days, particularly for their radio stations.
You guys should feel blessed with your media domination, but night time Sky News (yes only night time Sky) will live on as much as you guys despise it.
So you’ve come to the conclusion that any media that isn’t Sky News or Newscorp, is “hard left”?
Sharri Markson tweeted this morning that she would host the Monday to Thursday 5pm timeslot.

Sharri will be great. She gives it to all sides of politics much like chief Sky News political reporter Andrew Clennell does. Chris Kenny moving to 8pm is a good move. He is a firm backer of The Voice which is great to see.
Is there at least one presenter on any of the ABC’s numerous platforms against the Voice for balance?
I didn’t think so.
The following information is provided to assist new Australians to better understand the Australian media landscape:
Despite initial appearances, Sky News After Dark is not a comedy series. It is a genuine attempt by Rupert Murdoch to provide valuable political and social opinion to Australians. Paul Murray is sincere when he describes the Queensland Premier as a brown stain in his toilet and then demands a higher standard of public debate. Chris Smith is a bastion of decency, except at functions involving alcohol and women, or just alcohol, or just women. Despite the channel’s obvious comedic value, dark humour, vacuous commentary and incredible sense of irony, it is a serious news channel and can give new immigrants a sense of the pressing issues that are facing Australians in their every day lives, including the takeover of Victoria by a tyrant with ties to Stalin and how America’s January 6 Freedom Marchers could help transform Canberra. Lock your doors, check that no one’s gender has changed, bolt the windows, report drag queens to the morality police, support laws that would prohibit the colour teal, defund the ABC, make sure that photo of Scott Morrison is hanging in the kitchen, burn those fossil fuels, practise that Christian faith, fight any moves that would mention those pesky indigenous Australians in the Constitution and tune to Sky News and become a more aggressive and outraged Australian.

I suppose it was a pity that Sky News was not around in 1967 to provide a bit of “balance” when Australians voted a resounding “yes” to include indigenous Australians as part of the population.
When the issue is human rights and decency, balance is not always needed.
But I can always trust Paul, Rita and friends to provide it anyway.

Sky News will also feature new programs in 2023 such as Sunday with Stoker, hosted by former Queensland Senator Amanda Stoker.
Ahead of King Charles III’s coronation in May, Sky News will debut a new weekly program, The Royal Report, hosted by SkyNews.com.au Contributor Caroline Di Russo Sundays at 10:00pm.
Somewhat surprisingly, headline-generating hosts Rita Panahi and Rowan Dean have failed to secure regular weekday timeslots in the 2023 schedule. The two controversial hosts have however been selected to present digital-only content for the channels expanding YouTube and podcast platforms.
The Rita Panahi Show: Overtime will be available to stream on Flash and as a podcast, with segments reaching all Sky News digital platforms including skynews.com.au and Sky News Australia’s YouTube channel. The digital-only program will be available as a podcast each Monday to kick-start the week.
Sky News will further expand its exclusive audio-only offering with the launch of a new podcast by popular Outsiders host Rowan Dean. Rowan Dean’s Outsiders will be a weekly one-on-one with mavericks and game-changers with provocative opinions, available on your favourite podcasting app.
This stuff seems targeted to the US audience where they get a lot of nutters watching their content online.

looks like they just mine the Liberal Party for any leftovers:
Plus they’ve got Caleb Bond and can tap into a whole cast of Young Liberals and IPA types just ready to give their hot takes.

They’ve also been using Katherine Deves as a regular panelist on a variety of programs.
Points to Sky for venturing into the digital space which should do well with Rita and Rowan, however I think it’s risky moving Kenny to 8pm when you could’ve left him at 5 and had Rita or Rowan do 8pm where their shows would do well with the audience who enjoy their type of content and style at that time of night. But very happy for Sharri that she gets a full-time gig.
She’s an awful human. Her opinions belong in 1939 Germany.

Yeah Sharri will be great. She’s a wonderful investigative journalist and targets either side of the political fence.
Rowan and Rita will surely be regular guests on Bolt and Murray and their online content will be fantastic.
Sky News at night only will be still be compulsive veiwing for conservatives and people who like a bit of debate. Guests like Nick Reece Steve Conroy, Richo and NSW Labour member Rose Jackson provide this.
The Outsiders will still remain the best show of the week though. I’d be devastated if they ever took it off.
It’s good to see there is still at least one platform out there that has a counter opinion to the hard hard hard left of the taxpayer funded ABC.

lol. the ABC is anything but hard left - if anything its slightly right, but in the world of the sky viewer “channel 2” is socialism and a communist plot to make frogs gay

Token lefties at best. They’re not there to provide nuance and balance, they’re there to be mocked by the likes of Bolt, Panahi, Murray etc over their politics.
You sound like a broken record.

Political tribalism 101 on full display in this thread. It’s so pathetic, it’s actually entertaining to see the back and forth, lol.
Yes, I’m also finding it entertaining… it can be very amusing.

The ABC is indeed hard left. This is taxpayer funded remember. It should be more balanced.
Other left wing outlets like Nine Media, Ch 10, Guardian aren’t publically funded so they can do what they like.
Just like Sky News (after dark only remember) can do what it likes - not pubically funded.
The very existence of Sky (night time only) absolutely enrages many on the left because it’s ptetty much the last bastion of conservative broadcasting in Australia.
Looking forward to the 2023 line-up. Chris Kenny is a great pick for 8pm. He has a variety of views either side of the fence which should create interesting debate.
