I wonder how many radio/tv/socialmedia station will actually say "We were wrong" and also mention "we actually stired up our readers/listeners/watchers".

Let me guess: Zero.

I want Macabi Tel Aviv punished by Uefa, this is NOT the first time.

rickster1907.bsky.social•101 days ago

The reporting on this was disgusting

vladovrba.bsky.social•101 days ago

And who told Wong to quickly post about it...

gardenbirdnerd.bsky.social•101 days ago

Who at the ABC, needs to be held accountable for this?

rotimanmk2.bsky.social•101 days ago

Did SKY Australia happen to mention, on that Sacred Day, how the IDF had destroyed Commonwealth War Graves?

neverintimetoo.bsky.social•100 days ago

Shameless response from the ABC.

aeb1.bsky.social•101 days ago

Last week we were on Twitter and even there it was clear fake misinformation and yet ABC didn't research. There were many credible accounts of the attacks by Maccabbi supporters.

niallginsbourg.bsky.social•101 days ago

I'm curious to know why #Mediawatch suppressed the 2nd half of that Maccabi chant (the more offensive bit) - twice they were about to show it & cut it off. Feels like even Mediawatch were being manipulated in their reporting. They also 'both sides' it in the end, which feels quite biased too.

mrkranky.bsky.social•100 days ago

Precisely. “Both-sidism” is what the ABC regularly does when it does not want to publish the unvarnished truth. By doing that, Barry has compromised what should have been a devastating piece of media criticism.

niallginsbourg.bsky.social•101 days ago

A much more accurate take here from the UK :

Wonder if Penny Wong’s had any second thoughts on her one sided condemnation?

wearytraveller.bsky.social•101 days ago

I’m nobody and I knew it was wrong within half a day

Wong is a sellout, she sold herself out under Gillard to get where she is now and she’s selling out Australia to be more

Absolute example of a crumb maiden to labor’s cause

swimsallyswim.bsky.social•101 days ago

I don't wonder. The answer would be "no".

So great to see you here! ✊✊✊

Meanwhile the remaining legacy media can correct the record & lift content from here 👇 but they won't because it does not suit their overlords' agendas to keep us riff-raff bickering instead of focusing on the class war waged against us.

All the usual suspects sprouting their lies and misinformation. It Didn’t work it’s all Skylies.

livingthedream1964.bsky.social•101 days ago

Yep , our media fails us in a daily basis lead in part by that stable of tabloid bottom feeders over @ Sky

sharonramel.bsky.social•100 days ago

Yes that was astonishing - the truth ambushed. #MediaWatch

markrprior.mrp.net•101 days ago

So that made me go find Jan Fran's full piece on Instagram and it is certainly worth your time to watch it all if you have an account there.

That is terrific. And terrifying.

maeve-mcduff.bsky.social•101 days ago

I’m still waiting for the ABC to get back to me re my complaint about their reporting 🦗

lubysomers.bsky.social•100 days ago

🙏Please post it here. We'll be interested to hear what their delayed response will be.

maeve-mcduff.bsky.social•100 days ago

Will do!

aussieboroboy.bsky.social•101 days ago

Isn't it sad when national news sites like the ABC and BBC get it so wrong. Difficult to believe that this misrepresentation isn't deliberate and dangerous. Resignations should follow, but I won't hold my breath
#Journalism

wetmelbourne.bsky.social•100 days ago

I was equally disappointed. If it wasn’t for two witnesses on the ground calling it out for what it was…..

doneas.bsky.social•101 days ago

What those Maccabi ignorant soccer thugs don’t know is that Amsterdam has been known as a ‘Jewish’ town for 500 years. When I lived there I witnessed another Dutch club make ugly antisemitic gestures at an Amsterdam Ajax game

I find it to be yet more evidence that the majority of the ABC news machine cares more about following a narrative presented by other news orgs than doing the work to present the facts, or god forbid, actually lead the news cycle every now & then.

jennyjforster.bsky.social•100 days ago

Shocking ABC shocking. You are reporting news accurately, not writing a novel.

wnhy.bsky.social•100 days ago

@abcnews is a propaganda mouthpiece now. Very pro-Zionist. Their management must be forcing this view on many of their journalists.

fireypete.bsky.social•101 days ago

Yes, great work.
Let’s not hold our breath for the apology though
