Not everyone agrees on which outlets are biased in which direction, of course. Sky’s Andrew Bolt told his audience Morrison was under attack from the national broadcaster. “Anyone with ears and eyes can see the ABC is barracking like fury for the defeat of the Morrison government,” Bolt said.Five months after his appointment as editor of the Sydney Morning Herald, Bevan Shields has made major changes to his reporting and editing team.
Shields is looking for a new opinion editor after moving Julie Lewis out of the role. Lewis, who was close to Davies, has been appointed weekend features editor. Meanwhile the deputy editor of the SMH, Cosima Marriner, has left to join the Australian Financial Review as managing editor under Michael Stutchbury.

On Wednesday the Sunrise breakfast team had 234,000 viewers to News Breakfast’s 192,000 and Today’s 170,000 in the five metro markets.
