Press Council backs The Greens in ruling on Tele’s budget coverage
On the same week that The Greens got their way with the announcement of a media inquiry, the party has won an Australian Press Council adjudication against News Limited’s Daily Telegraph.
The APC – this week branded a “toothless tiger” by media minister Stephen Conroy – ruled against an article published by The Telegraph on May 11 as part of its federal budget coverage.
The item – bylined to Alison Rehn and John Rolfe and headlined “Political support comes at a price” – claimed: “Their party is supposedly about protecting nature but the Greens have managed to force the Government to take money away from repairing the east coast after the summer of natural disasters.”
However, The Greens complained that the claim was inaccurate.
Quod erat demonstrandum.
The Greens may need to get their own Green Newspaper, so they can control it and be happy
Ann. The Greens don’t need their own newspaper. They just need a newspaper that is fair, objective, not controlled by far-Right hacks or given to kowtowing to the Lib/Nat rabble.
