The media’s ‘full court fake news press’ against President Trump is astonishing | Sky News AustraliaJournalists are yet again jumping on the bandwagon to portray US President Donald Trump as a liar and run the latest set of shameless and dishonest attacks against him says Sky News host Chris Kenny. \n\nMr Kenny said the fake news, the same “full court fake news press” put out by the media against President Trump is astonishing. \n\n“The latest scandal, the latest beat up that all the media ran with, including in this country, is the mind-numbingly obvious observation that Donald Trump was not alarmist about coronavirus”. \n\nIt comes as the White House has rejected claims the President intentionally misled Americans about the severity of the coronavirus.\n\nThe new set of allegations laid against President Donald Trump are set to be revealed by American journalist Bob Woodward, who previously broke the Watergate scandal.\n\nMr Woodward will reportedly unveil information showing Mr Trump sought to “play down” the virus to avoid causing panic and will release a taped phone call with the President who claimed at the time the coronavirus was deadlier than the flu.\n\n“We all know Trump talked the pandemic down,” Mr Kenny said. \n\n“Even though Trump blocked flights from China early and cranked up the supply of ventilators to the states, he kept telling people not to panic, that the US would beat the virus”. \n\nMr Kenny said the media and journalists who attack President Trump are “are so transparent, they like to portray Trump as a liar yet can't cover anything he says or does, straight up”. \n\n“And they wonder why voters mistrust the whole media, Democrats, political establishment schtick”. \n\nImage: AP \n

Australians are at their wits end because of ‘dumb arrogant politicians’ | Sky News AustraliaSky News host Peter Gleeson says the lack of empathy and compassion shown by “dumb, arrogant politicians and bureaucrats” is appalling.\n\nThursday marked the annual R U OK Day, where people across Australia are encouraged to check up on friends and family promoting mental health.\n\n“I am genuinely concerned that the lockdowns and border restrictions being imposed by state and territory governments will have far greater implications than the virus itself,” Mr Gleeson said.\n\n“People are at their wit’s end in this country because dumb, arrogant politicians and bureaucrats think they know better.\n\n“There’s only one way to fix it. Boot these idiots out. Send them a message that we want sound policy that doesn’t drive us mad.\n\n“This is not the Australia we have come to cherish and love. You can sense the anger rising.

Labor members not standing up to Palaszczuk ‘make me sick’: Hanson | Sky News AustraliaOne Nation leader Pauline Hanson says the Labor members who aren’t standing up to Annastacia Palaszczuk’s “disgusting” behavior are all in the same boat and “make me sick”.\n\nHer comments come after Queensland Premier Annastacia Palaszczuk deflected attacks from the Opposition Leader over her refusal to allow 26 year old Sarah Caisip attend her father's funeral saying the decision was made by Queensland Chief Health Officer Jeannette Young.\n\nQueensland resident Sarah Caisip flew home from Canberra, and was too late - missing her father’s death - and was placed in hotel quarantine, which then precluded her from attending her father’s funeral.\n\nMs Palaszczuk also declared in Queensland parliament that she “will not be bullied nor … intimidated by the prime minister” who phoned her to plea for the woman to get an exemption.\n\nMs Hanson said if this is the premier’s behavior before an election “imagine what she’s going to be like after the next election if she wins it”.\n\n“To those Labor Party members who are sitting, you are no different to Annastacia Palaszczuk because I have not heard one of you stand up against her and the way she’s carrying on,” Ms Hanson told Sky News host Paul Murray.\n\n“Not one of you stood in parliament to say it’s wrong. As far as I’m concerned you’re all in the same boat and you make me sick”.\n\nImage: Getty

'The buck stops with Premier Palaszczuk' as daughter is barred from father's funeral | Sky News AustraliaQueensland Shadow Health Minister Ros Bates “there is no justification” for the Queensland government’s refusal to let Sarah Caisip attend her father’s funeral in the state. \n\nQueensland resident Sarah Caisip flew home from Canberra, where she took a job a few months ago, to see her dying father. \n\nShe was unfortunately too late and was placed in hotel quarantine, despite the ACT not having community transmission of COVID-19 for more than two months. \n\nMs Caisip was eventually granted an eleventh-hour exemption to see her father’s body but was denied being able to attend his funeral on Thursday afternoon, and the opportunity to be with her grieving mother and 11-year-old sister.\n\n“Sarah was not a threat to anybody, Sarah needed to be with her family today, and all Annastacia Palaszczuk had to do today was be compassionate, consistent and show common sense,' Ms Bates told Sky News host Chris Kenny. \n\n“Sarah had been in quarantine, she’d finished her quarantine, she was no risk to anybody.\n\n“She should have been allowed to be at her own father’s funeral, and the only person who should take responsibility for her not being there, to say goodbye to her father, to support her mother and kid sister, is Annastacia Palaszczuk.”\n\n“The buck stops with Annastacia Palaszczuk.”\n\nImage: News Corp Australia
