The Sydney Morning Herald has a 'whole masthead' to respond to attacks from Paul Keating and ABC's Media Watch, Nationals Senator Matt Canavan has argued. “I don’t know why they need an apology...sounds a bit like a bunch of cry babies.”
SMH editor Bevan Shields used page two of Thursday’s paper to respond to “two unfair and uniformed attacked” on the paper’s Red Alert series and the journalists who wrote it.and two of its journalists during his extraordinary National Press Club address on Wednesday. This followed last week’s edition of ABC’s Media Watch which was highly critical of the SMH’s Red Alert series.
In his response, Shields wrote that Keating’s “trademark barbs” were “not funny any more” before demanding an on-air apology from ABC for Media Watch’s “hypocrisy and poor standards.” “Media Watch also conveniently omitted that Keating had a long history of pro-China commentary. And while accusing us of warmongering, Media Watch failed to mention a two-part series published by the ABC in February by global affairs editor John Lyons titled ‘What war with China would look like for Australia’. Funny, that.”
