Wanning Sun, writing for Crikey, starts with a question:
"If you’re looking for an example of how our media can turn a good story into a bad one, simply pay attention to how Prime Minister Anthony Albanese’s forthcoming visit to China is being reported."
She then goes on to give a couple of examples (from The Australian and SkyNews). One corker is The Australian refering to #BarnabyJoice as a 'Coalition heavyweight'. lol
Anyway, the article is a good reminder not to get too caught up with what msm reports on the #Labor govt. Which is a shame, because if msm was about #Journalism and #Reporting, then our govt might not be as 'tight lipped' as it is about the goings-on in the 'seat of power'.
