When Mel was still on Sunrise she at least let the subject speak before going on to grilling them or talking further.

Now, where the hell have I heard that phrase āboth sidesā before?

That certainly is not the case on Twitter. The backlash is well and truly directed at Koch. He has been trending since 9am this morning.

Was this on The Project? Does anyone have a video?
Found it - on The Project twitter page. Think the Project are attempting to have a dig at Sunrise who are free to have on whoever they want. Iām just amazed at people trying to shut down anyone to the right of the centreās opinion. Not trying to start a debate and will not engage in one but we have Clementine Ford for example who has asked for the murder of all men and never seems to get any criticism.
Sunrise are free to have on whoever they want, just like The Project is. Hinch, Hanson & Kochie agree more often than not and even agreed on a few things this morning. Itās not as if they are disgussing immigration every single week.

Key difference: Hanson is elected, Ford is not.

Shit, just reading Facebook now. Seems like all of Sunriseās Facebook comments on all posts are directed negatively at Kochie with #sackkochie seeming to pop up every once in a while. Will be interesting to see what impact this has on the ratings
i just saw a change.org pottion to get david koche sacked from his job . and to get sunrise moved from tv lol good work on that it wont change anything:)

Umm, I see plenty of Liberal Party politicians on TV channels across Australia.
Pauline Hanson and Anning are far-right, and as weāve seen from the past week, their words have consequences in encouraging violence. I think itās more than acceptable to be calling on Sunrise to stop giving her a megaphone to bleat uninformed and racist comments.

Doubt itāll have a significant (if any) long term impact on the ratings. If past history is an indication, itāll blow over after a few days as time marches on and people inevitably become outraged at someone/something elseā¦

People just like to start outrage no matter what the facts are and what has occurred. The fact they canāt spell Kochie kind of makes me take the argument with a grain of salt.

Yep, I agree.
Social media isnāt really the best indication of how a program might perform in the ratings. Heck, the households of OzTam & RegionalTAM probably arenāt even allowed on social media (or at the very least, are under very strict guidelines in relation to what they can and canāt say publicly on such platforms)!
Perhaps watch the whole 7 minute segment from Sunrise rather than base your opinion on a 20 sec grab from The Project.
The whole segment can be found via Sunriseās Twitter feed.

Not to mention Kerri-Anne Kennerley.
Although Iād still be willing to predict that a local 6pm newsreader would actually find themselves unemployed if they were to make controversial comments similar in tone to those weāve heard from some breakfast & mid-morning TV presenters in recent years.
I would take a guess that the majority of comments are not your average sunrise viewer but rather a galvanised army of trolls onto their next piece of fresh meat.
Soon enough there will be another front for them to fight - some other perceived voice speaking out against One Nation - and they will move on.

Well, news should be reporting the news not giving opinions.
