Sky News host Paul Murray says the “virus of commonsense” is quickly spreading with active cases growing on that front after parts of the media finally pushed back against Daniel Andrews. “Thankfully there were some examples in the media outside of this channel, outside of the Herald Sun, outside of The Australian, who actually decided to push back,” Mr Murray said.
On a radio interview with Triple M’s Luke Darcy, Victorian Premier Daniel Andrews was rebuked for not offering hope for Victorians, choosing instead to continue down the line of doom and gloom. Similarly, TV personality David Koch criticized Victorian Health Minister Jenny Mikakos for the state’s heavy lockdowns during an interview. “Daniel Andrews thought he could go on some sort of softy sales tour,” Mr Murray said. “Dan’s bubble is being burst.

Fake news in the US as democrats try to 'soften up the military' | Sky News AustraliaSky News host Paul Murray says the biggest example of fake news played out in the United States in the last week and leveled unfounded and wrong attacks at President Donald Trump.\n\nFar left-wing publication, The Atlantic, released an article written by four nameless people who suggested Donald Trump didn’t want to go to a war cemetery in France because those who died in war are “losers” and “suckers”.\n\nThe unsourced story, with no names and big claims, became mainstream after it was talked about by presidential hopeful Joe Biden, Mr Murray said. \n\nPresident Trump said what was written in the second-rate magazine was a ‘disgrace’.\n\nFormer national security advisor to Donald Trump John Bolton, who was with the president when he reportedly insulted war heroes, said he had “not heard either of those comments or anything even resembling them.”\n\nMr Murray said Mr Bolton disliked the president who fired him, and had written a book full of attacks at Trump, and yet he reported the news story released by Alliance included statements he had never heard Trump make. \n\nMr Murray said this piece of fake news was an attempt to “change the subject and soften up the military should they be needed at some point in time during a contested election.”\n\n “I know that sounds crazy but we live in crazy times,” he said. \n
