Australia’s media outlets clash over bushfire coverage
Various prominent media outlets and journalists are hitting out at each other over how Australia’s ongoing bushfire crisis is being covered.
News Corp in particular is at the centre of the storm, attracting criticism for both attacking the ABC, and for a perceived climate change denying agenda.

News Corp’s The Australian has been accused of downplaying the severity of the fires, and not giving front-page prominence to the disaster.

Meanwhile Australia burns and Tourism Australia flounders. While the country faces one of its worst crisis, out national marketing body places happy happy ads right next to Armageddon images in the global news. The world is watching and we have dumb and dumber at the helm at Tourism Australia! Show some empathy guys. It’s in our DNA!

Some would say a ‘match made in heaven’
Let’s be honest, Australian journalism in the main publications is pretty low quality and subpar compared to international media from Europe.
While we Australians witness 1 of the greatest natural disasters in our history, petty commentary on who does what occupies the mind of far too many posting crap. For goodness sake we don’t have a leader in this crisis but let’s forget him and let the people best qualified keep on doing the magnificent job they are doing.
Tourism Australia has clearly always had Australia’s best and brightest…

How great is the Australian! How great is Scott Morrison, How great are the liberal party dunderheads. How great. How great an Australian Rupert Murdch is. Oh, that’s right he pays no tax and is not an Australian, running The Australian attacking everyone in Australia.
