Message to Media: Enough Bullshit. Read the evidence, believe the science, stop mucking about. This is what our BOM says of bushfires. 1. They're increasingly common 2. The fire season is getting longer. 3. Climate change is contributing.

You ask: Do people still watch
@ABCmediawatch
? They certainly do: 533,000 people tuned in on Monday in 5 big cities plus 261,000 in the regions. Easily the top TV program in its slot. Reach was 1.4million a/c to OzTam. And we’ll get many more on X and Facebook. Cheers!
To all those who are asking … I’m back home and on the mend. Hobbling around on crutches but getting better every day. I hope to be back on

Why did so many in the media savage Rudd not Trump for this? Did they all pile into the Pope when Trump took aim at him? A lot of poor reporting and commentary.
Bill Shorten today: "Labor will reverse Scott Morrison’s $83.7 million cut to the ABC and invest a further $60 million to grow our public broadcasters into the future.”
This is a 100% lie from the Murdoch media’s Credlin. She accuses me of “data harvesting” from the petition. The truth: we chose the parliament’s own petition site which prevents any form of data harvesting. I await her apology on air.

Everyone switch on to Al Jazeera right now. This is one of the most horrifying things I’ve seen.
IOF is attacking mourners carrying Shireen’s body from the hospital right now. They’re using stun grenades and tear gas and charging at them with horses and batons.

Remind me. What did Tony Abbott say in 2013? 'No cuts to the ABC or SBS'. ... So what happened? ... 'ABC loses $783m funding since 2014 when Coalition made its first cuts – report'

We are pleased to announce that Jeremy Fernandez will be presenting Media Watch this week while we find a longer term fill in. It looks like Paul Barry will be off for around four weeks. Thanks for all the kind and supportive words we have received for him.

We confirm that Jordan Shank’s home was firebombed last night.He is safe. We hope that every possible police resource is dedicated today to securing evidence and intel. It might even warrant a Strike Force focused upon terrorism and attempted homicide rather than dangerous jokes.

as a regular ABC listener, I saw tonight’s episode as self indulgent, self important and totally biased. Unworthy of the high standard of journalism you purport

As long as the ABC runs a show like Media Watch with Paul Barry, it is “misusing your hard-earned tax dollars,” according to Sky News host Chris Kenny.
Media being attacked. I never thought this sort of thing would happen in Australia. Horrible and disturbing.
