ABC’s weather presenter Nate Bryne thinks he can dictate which companies should be allowed to sponsor private media organisations, says Sky News host Chris Kenny.

In a tweet, Mr Byrne shared a clip from Channel Nine’s Today show and said he was “surprised” to see the show chose Shell, a “fossil fuel company plugging petrol” to sponsor its weather

segments.“That’s how Nine makes money, and it’s how Shell advertises its brand, and there’s hardly a person in the country that doesn’t use their products or their stations from time to time.”

Australian media is so bland - eek - how is this death passable

You know, maybe if Chris Kenny was anywhere near as qualified as Nate he could have an opinion. Then again, that would require Kenny having some self awareness and humility.

abcnews summed up perfectly.

Kenny can't see the irony of fossil fuels advertising on the weather.
