The last thing Australians want is to be lectured on how to celebrate their country by an out-of-touch major media organisation spouting simplistic woke talking points, writes Jack Houghton.

Ten’s chief content officer Beverley McGarvey told all staff that the phrase “Australia Day” would be boycotted as it is “not a day of celebration”.

What a great way to divide your staff and drag those employees who enjoy celebrating Australia Day into a workplace culture war. Ten may not like it but January 26 is formally known as Australia Day. To ignore that is to ignore reality.

Get stuffed 10

Is this a parody?

Well done - 10 out of 10. And sister sky is furious

LNP) How dare you try to share your knowledge and the benefit of your experiences !! We are conservatives - we will screw this up OUR WAY - then blame everyone else - as we usually do !!

But being lectured on how to by an 'American' is OK ?

What does woke mean?

Australian Federation Day is 1st of January. That’s the day I celebrate not Sydney Cove Colonisation Day in drag.

That is a perfect description of Sky News - except the major bit. Certainly out of touch, spouting simplistic talking points derived from their owners.

Poor Jack Houghton hasn't realised he works for an out-of-touch major media organisation spouting simplistic 'anti-Labor' talking points.

Is this like the pot calling the kettle black?

Invasion day is more than a month away. We have Xmas, boxing day, new years, and quite a few celebrations to

seriously Sky news is going to tell us all what we wont and don't want? ... considering how far out of synch with what Australian's decided in the WA SA VIC NT QLD and Federal Election... this brain fart from the Sky Child brings me great hope

AustraliaDay auspol

I disagree with 10's stance, but your comment is laughable about out-of-touch media organisations. Sky News is the leader of the pack.

You're right. We much prefer to be lectured by Sky News Australia, a.k.a. Rupert Murdoch. So much so that News Corp subscribers have been dwindling over the years.

Who cares?

Following Albo's lead in dismantling Australia to pander to a sorry few.

This idea of western nations being borne of such “original sin” is so bogus. The attack on 🇦🇺 day makes me, as a new Australian and proud to be made a citizen, feel like buying a load of flags and celebrating all the more 😃

I’m going to be laughing at Sky about this one all week.

the irony is obviously lost on you!

Out of touch media organisation you say? 🤔

Love how they jump straight to the word 'woke' literally becomes the go to word when they can't form a rational argument. Also don't speak for all Australians. The last thing I want is to be generalised by bloody Sky news.

You guys know the definition of irony, right

No ABC,now no ch10...(ps noooo *home n away)

Giving people a choice? How dare they! The RWNJs want MORE Govt intervention in our lives? Now THAT’s a reversal of policy!

Houghton should not generalise by inferring all Australian's hold his point of view

Nothing they do will change Australia Day for me.🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺

You should always re-read your tweets to verify the content to make the most of the character limit. Anyway, too funny.

Up until the use of the infantile extremist rightwing word “woke” I thought Jack Houghton was referring to !!! ChangeTheDay

Sky news - 50000 viewers nightly, Ten news 436000 viewers nightly……..

We will be boycotting Channel 10 and hope many others will do the same. We will also be boycotting their advertisers and sponsors who we will be writing to in order to advise we will no longer buy any of their products or services.

Channel who with arse wipe on the panel

Out of touch? You mean Sky? Oh no you said major.

Why do you care what channel 10 decides to do. If anyone cared about what you do you would have been closed down years ago.

How dare anyone telling me I must celebrate Australia day on the 26th January when I have always celebrated the 30th June.

Just report and entertain. Do not attempt to make the news. Journalists and media organisations do not know.

Usual ultra-right garbage spewed forth by Rupert's flunkys.

Australia Day is Racist by definition we either change it, the date or have to stop celebrating it.

Hey Jack Houghton please give examples of 'simplistic woke talking points'. Cheers

To be fair who even watches network 10 🤷‍♂️

Skynewsaust is right about Murdoch Crap Media being out of touch.

Out of touch major media organisation, you say?

amen

Cope

I didn't realize that BetootaAdvocate managed to hack into your account

The last thing Aussies want is your opinion on anything.

The last thing Australians want is to be lectured on how to celebrate their country by an out-of-touch major media organisation spouting simplistic conservative talking points. There, I fixed it for you.

Correct

Most ironic tweet of the year.

This is funny sky telling people to ignore being told what to do, I’ve been ignoring anything sky tells me it obvious whoever wrote this has been smoking whatever’s left of murdochs hair

The irony here is extraordinary.

Says the major media organisation telling us how we can celebrate. Nuclear irony.

Yet there you are lecturing us on how we should celebrate Australia Day

Network Ten.. the most woke radical fringe left MSM Australia has. Doesn’t surprise that they have done this. Australia Day will always be Jan 26.

How do your socials team allow you to keep posting hahaha look at the comments

Says out-of-touch minor media organisation

I'm glad you agree. Now please stop.

Sky news projecting again

Then you should just STFU eh?

Said without a hint of irony

SkyNewsAust accusing others of being 'vacuous and divisive' is another example of RWNJs accusing others of the crimes they commit themselves. auspol murdochroyalcommission

MurdochGutterMedia MurdochRoyalCommission

The lack of self awareness in this article is breathtaking.

Pot calling a kettle black?

Beyond satire.

Omg hilarious, talking about Skye being out of touch 🤣🤣

You mean like does?

You don't speak for me, dopey.

So, Jack knows what we think

Fuck me.....legit thought this was a parody account. 🤦‍♂️ Satire is dead.

Vacuous and divisive Jack Houghton vomits ignorant backward talking points. There a De Lorean leaving do 1950 at 9pm Jack. Be in it.

Go 10….

Or worse, a RW media organisation devoid of ethics or morality that continues to pander to extremists, racists and conspiracy theorists, and sets out to divide communities and societies rather than uniting people and progresses human values.

Wow - how do you Sky hacks not see the irony in this tweet? “The last thing Australians want is to lectured an out of touch major media organisation” You know you literally just described what you clowns do every single day? Have a look in a mirror occasionally 🙄🙄

Weird that SKY would call another company 'vacuous and divisive'. Projection, much ?

This is how the left works. Continue to shift the dial slowly through the elite and media. Did it with marriage redefinition, trans stuff, making racism everywhere and now aus day

Why does Sky ‘News’ even care? They are owned by an American billionaire who left Australia years ago to avoid paying tax 🤷‍♀️🤷‍♀️🤷‍♀️🤷‍♀️

Sky appears to have a monopoly of experts on the subject of 'woke' & 'wokeness' as well as BS, misinformation & jibberish. Most of them must be bored shitless. Wonder what keeps them in such a dismal environment.

You seriously posting this? 😂😂😂

This is incredibly funny. Sky News, which lectures the entire population along with other Murdoch outlets, on why we should vote for a totally inept, totally corrupt Liberal Party is complaining about a rival. You can't make this stuff up.

It thought your mob always supports freedom of choice

'by an out-of-touch major media organisation' The searing irony of that comment goes right over your heads. Unbelievable hypocrisy.

Clutch pearls. Faux rage!

Well most people are boycotting 10 so who cares

All REAL AUSTRALIAN's will continue to celebrate Australia Day and to hell with all those fabricators of hurt who are against it. It is a feel sorry for us scam. Either wake up and realize 200 years has passed and join in or 'Go back to where you came from' including the desert!

Paramount own Channel 10 so you can bet your pinky orders have come from above. To those that think what happens in the US won't happen here, this is a wake up call. We are one step behind the Democrats madness. Let 10 go broke

Hahahahahh. You lot are perfect.

Says Sky.

So says an out of touch, not so major media organisation. What pot is calling the kettle the black here?

I don't know. You losers, which hardly anyone watches seem to want to tell us how to vote all the time.

🤣😂🤣😂 Actualiy, the last thing Australians want is to be lectured on how to celebrate their country by an out-of-touch major media organisation spouting simplistic talking points, says everyone else in Australia. ChangeTheDate

I’m not usually one for calling for boycotts but surely I I allowed to just once when it’s well earned, Boycott channel10

BoycottChannelTen

Jack Houghton shouldn't watch it if it upsets him that much. Problem solved.

Lets be real, the real reason why Channel 10 has done this is because they want people to come in on a public holiday, not recognise it as a public holiday and pay them accordingly. Apart from the stench of ESG grasping its clear when they open up with 'come to work instead!'.

Ahhh, the irony.

Sky News calls another media outlet 'out-of-touch'? Ha! Sky News: Representing losers for another three years.

Last thing Australia needs is a gutter press media outlet that is owned and run by an American- Murdoch.

Hey Sky, look in the mirror.

Or worse a foreign media company owned by a decrepit tax dodger named Rupert

Fk Australia Day.

Network 10 ~ hits top spot in MSM as Moral Blatherers, just pushing the 4CentABC out! The Guardian is shocked! nyunggai David_Speers GemmaTognini

Fed up with this crap. If I want to celebrate anything, I have that right. If you don't like it, stay away from my parties.

The last thing Australias want is to be lectured by Foreign Billionaire’s Minions on what Australians want.

'The last thing Australians want is to be lectured on how to celebrate their country by an out-of-touch major media organisation' this sounds like Sky News Australia in every way!!!

Network NO!

What could be more simplistic than using the meaningless word “woke” to describe everything you don’t like?

Says Jack Houghton lecturing the country why we should celebrate this country on a day only slightly applicable to NSW when first fleet arrived in Sydney harbour. (After first arriving Botany Bay a few days earlier but realising it was a bit shabby.)

You can be a simpleton, and shameless, too

Oh, don't worry, Jack. You lot could never be called 'woke'.

But you lecture us everyday in your made up bullshit and fake news.

Says the media organisation using lazy hackneyed cliches “woke” due to a lack of rational arguments 🤣

The last thing Australians (or anyone else in the world) want is to be constantly lectured by an out-of-touch misogynistic propaganda-for-hire unit run by a rancid geriatric spouting lies, misinformation, mad conspiracies, & right wing racist-sexist slime. MurdochGutterMedia

… says the out of touch minor media organisation

The only thing this pissant is in touch with is himself

Out-of-touch major media organisation says what? 😲 auspol

Lectures must only come from Sky News.

I'll be celebrating.

These people want to divide Australia,just like Albo and his voice rubbish

The last thing Australians want is to be lectured on how to celebrate their country by the infantile, extremist, racist runts at newscorpaus.

Irony

Sky News wants to tell us how to celebrate however

Last thing Australians want is to be lectured by Sky News 😋

Wankers. Unfortunately I can’t boycott them as I don’t watch their 💩 anyway

Simplistic, is also a description of Sky News

Our government would do the same if they could. Albo is everything that wrong with Australia right now. Everything he touched has gone to shit. We have never had a PM until now who is so anti-Australian. Getting rid of our national day of celebration is on his agenda.

A channel of obsolete twits...

'Celebrate' aka get drunk ....

Chanel 10 owned by CBS so it’s of no surprise really. With all the new streaming services that are available they wouldn’t want to make sure they know who their audience is.

10 is Dead. Stage 4 Wokemia. End is Nigh!
