It would have taken 2 seconds for them to see that Twitter account @AndrewT95711747 is not who they think it is

They donât care though. They knew it wasnât real but it doesnât matter once youâve put the content out if you have to make an apology or retraction, the views have still happened.

and the apology never gets the same prominence as the offending material⌠which is really all media are guilty of, not singling out anyone.

For anyone who gets a little salty over the criticism Sky News Australia receives on this site: this is why.

100% this was intentional. Anyone who has the most basic of journalism experience can tell you that a user name with random numbers in it, with no post history claiming scandalous things which are most likely untrue, is a âsourceâ you just do not use. Itâs not even a case of needing journalistic experience, itâs just being street-smart on social media.
Would not be surprised if Andrew goes after them in the courts for this either.
Interesting decision.
Also, just looked her up: how tf do people on Sky AD have Walkleys?

No surprises here. Unhinged as usual but what did anyone expect from a Coalition apologist whoâs all but hitched herself to the pro-Israel bandwagon.

Sheâs actually treasonous. What an awful person.

Love how she keeps calling it âa meetingâ rather than interview. What a flog. Can I repeat sheâs a Walkley-award winner!?!

Sharri is allowed to take a position. Some very rude descriptions of her on here.

She characterizes herself as an alleged journalist. She cannot be having secret meetings with foreign governments and communicating things that are not in Australias interest. She isnât a diplomat. This wasnât an interview. Her behavior is reprehensible.

Surely nobody, even if they take an opposing view to your own, deserves to be called some of the things members here call her.

Just because you donât agree with her doesnât mean you have to call her a flog. Think before you post.
I admired Sharriâs work in exposing Chinese governmentâs lies in the origins of COVID-19 virus, but I think she went too far this time around.

Have you asked her to be kind to those she doesnât like?

She hasnât exactly gone to Israel to do some deep investigation or report from the frontline so sheâs not exactly some sort of hero for going out there, but thatâs not the worst thing.
Whatâs more concerning is the fact that sheâs gone to push some sort of political agenda to an unhinged PM of a country currently in crisis mode. Thatâs not exactly âjournalisticâ for a supposed âjournalistâ.
