ABC’s investigative program Four Corners produces ‘gushing profile piece’ on Monique RyanThe ABC’s flagship investigative program Four Corners has produced a “gushing profile piece” on Kooyong MP Monique Ryan instead of hard-hitting journalism, Sky News Digital Editor Jack Houghton says. “Independents’ Day, as it was titled, purported to go ‘behind the scenes with some of the independent women who defied the odds and defeated high profile politicians from the two major political parties’,” he said. “But it appeared more a plug for one of the star teals – Kooyong MP Monique Ryan. “I get that the rise of the independents is very exciting for all of these ABC journalists as they effectively campaigned alongside them during the election. “But that doesn't mean you should abandon all journalistic integrity and spend taxpayer dollars producing a gushing profile piece in what is supposed to be an investigative program.”

The ABC doesn’t want to tell you an ‘inconvenient truth’ about TavistockThe ABC’s failure to cover the closure of Britain’s Tavistock serves as another example of the national broadcaster not wanting to tell Australians an “inconvenient truth,” Sky News Digital Editor Jack Houghton says. Media Watch host Paul Barry pointed out the ABC had no trace of the story and, when asked why, the national broadcaster said its focus was “what is happening in Australia”. “Australian practices differ significantly to those that were in Tavistock. The change in Britain’s model could certainly form part of future coverage, where it’s relevant,” the ABC said. Mr Houghton said there was still no evidence of an article on the ABC several days later. “ABC ethos holds that gender affirmation is an immutable truth,” he said. “When you have children as young as 10 being pushed into taking puberty blockers who grow up to regret that life-altering treatment, you have a problem. “That problem is made far worse by journalists who don't have the courage to ask questions.”

‘Crazy’ media reaction to Scott Morrison’s secret ministriesThe media’s reaction to revelations Scott Morrison secretly swore himself into five ministries has been “crazy,” Sky News Digital Editor Jack Houghton says. “Morrison has been compared to dictators, despots, and one commentator, Jane Caro, even published this conspiracy theory that it was a secret religious clutch for power,” he said. Mr Houghton said the powers the former prime minister wielded – shrouded from the public and even his colleagues – were “disturbing” but all governments in Australia have been “guilty of absurd overreaches in power”. “This is one of the lesser examples when compared to the fact we were all told we couldn't leave our homes,” he said. “In that broader context I find the collective outrage against Morrison hypocritical and dishonest.”

Keane: ‘Couldn’t agree more’ with letter saying Biden is risking Ukrainian victoryRetired US Army Chief of Staff General Jack Keane says he “couldn’t agree more” with a letter stating US President Joe Biden risks turning a Russian loss into a victory by not suppling enough weapons to Ukraine. “Actually what’s happening on the ground now is testimony to the content of that letter,” he told Sky News host Andrew Bolt. “Ukrainian forces have been planning for weeks a counteroffensive in the Kherson city area and in the larger oblast or province that Kherson city resides in.” Gen Keane said the Russians have moved forces into the area to reinforce it and Ukraine has not begun the counteroffensive. “The reason why they haven’t begun the counteroffensive is because they’re not certain that the United States and the international community will be able to sustain the equipment that they need for the offensive to be successful,” he said.
