The ABC’s Insiders panel chat program is “relentlessly anti-conservative” and “makes a mockery” of the national broadcaster’s claim to objectivity and diversity says Sky News host Chris Kenny.
He said regular viewers of the program would “know only too well the panel is usually filled by green left journalists” and “small 'L'” liberals.
Mr Kenny said a recent guest on the program, The Australian's National Affairs Editor Simon Benson, would have provided some frank, mainstream assessments those at the ABC wouldn't have been "used to". Mr Benson had said "Scott Morrison is emerging as one of the most capable prime ministers this country has seen for a long time". "It's not the sort of thing they're used to hearing on the ABC," Mr Kenny said.
