Andrew Bolt links ban to Herald Sun and Sky coverage of ‘ethnic crime’. Plus: Macquarie Media’s all-male radio lineup
News Corp Australia marshalled its troops on Thursday after the pesky Labor government in Victoria banned Sky News from metro railway platforms following the appearance of far-right extremist Blair Cottrell on the network. Sky News devoted much airtime to expressing its furious disagreement with the decision, based mainly on the fact that the Cottrell interview was never shown on the railway platforms. Everyone from David Speers and Laura Jayes – who sandwiched the transport minister, Jacinta Allan, between them in an aggressive double-headed interrogation – to Andrew Bolt and Paul Murray prosecuted Sky’s case.
Victoria's Public Transport Minister @JacintaAllanMP: I am aware that longer-form interviews do not screen on the Sky News service provided to @metrotrains. The advice I had was that the interview was screened.
