Sky News

it does sound like floggish behaviour, it does sound unhinged.

Her commentary and analysis on her show borders on disgusting. Not mention the tone of condescension she displays night after night. She is often very hate filled towards those she doesn’t like.

Ok, let’s not descend any further here. It is possible to critique Sky News and Markson’s journalistic efforts without descending into name-calling and inappropriate tropes.

Not anywhere near as bad as they are.

Point proven lol

Why did a journalist have a private meeting - not an interview - with Netanyahu anyway? A meeting where she disparaged and undermined the Australian government’s policies on the war, and praised the opposition effusively. Sounds like some very dodgy business going on. I’d have to wonder what involvement (if any) Mr Dutton has had in this.

This is all very dodgy. If, say, an Al Jazeera journalist held a private meeting with a Hamas leader, they would be correctly vilified. I think questions need to be asked about how this came about in the first place.

The main issue with Sky News is that it’s not.

It’s not news.

It’s opinion that is communicated with anger, hate and outrage.

It would be more accurate if it was named “Sky Bias”

And I suggest one of the following taglines:
“We Scream. You Believe”
“We Report. No Need To Think”
“Why Think? Just Watch Sky”
“One Channel. One Opinion”
“Get Your News and Get Angry”
“When You Need To Hate”
“Why Stay Calm?”
“We Report. You Live In Fear”

And? We don’t need to stoop to Sky’s level

The news they provide during the day is great though. Have never had an issue with the news itself. The opinion shows are exactly like Fox News design to do they need to do. Draw in viewership and create rage from viewers.

All cable news networks do this. You think CNN and msnbc are free from their t opinion shows? They are on par with their opinion programming with sky. However i still watch all of them because opinion programming is just that opinion.

If sky news opinion programming triggers you then why do you keep watching ? And why are you selective with your outrage?

Maybe she should migrate to Israel, where she feels safe.

It all just reeks. BN clearly isn’t the world’s best leader, but I would assume he’s taken nothing from this meeting.

Disagree - you don’t take these kind of meetings for shits and giggles. Something will come of this.

But how? How would she have presented herself to be taken seriously? It’s not like Credlin where she can at least say she was a government senior staffer.

Markson’s a “friendly” (to Israel) journalist/presenter who has an audience and a platform - she’s potentially a good asset for Israel to have to disseminate their desired narrative

Unusual for so called journalists to take private meetings with foreign governments during a time of war. Any to provide treasonous commentary about Australia’s government to said leader should be a felony.

Sharri Markson is a respected and award winning journalist. She also hosts an opinion show on Sky News.

She is a Jewish women and was deeply impacted by the terrorist atrocities committed by hamas on 7th October. She has every right to express her opinion and report the truth on her Sky News program and meet with whomever she likes.

If you don’t like Sharri then don’t watch her show. Attacking her integrity is completely uncalled for.

“truth”

She makes it so easy though when she degrades it herself!

And that’s sad to hear, but personal views don’t come under the “journalism” banner.
