Australian comedian Shaun Micallef has told ABC viewers advertising is evil while directly profiting from the industry says Sky News host Chris Kenny.

Hypocritical Mr Micallef stars on the ABC documentary ‘On The Sauce’ which examines the alcohol and drinking culture in Australia. In the show he stated “advertising as we know is evil” and admitted to “being very cynical about advertising".

Mr Kenny pointed out “the same Shaun Micallef who tells ABC viewers that advertising is evil and who claims to be cynical about it, lines his pockets by doing advertising for a large insurance company”. “Talk about cynical, talk about having your anti-commercialism and drinking it too,” he said.

And wouldn't we be interested in what that climate denying, covid denying little Murdoch spiv has to say. Shit.

The ABC is a disgraceful billion dollar drain on heardworing Australian families, especially right now... Their funding should be cut back like the rest of us...

In an alternative universe Chris Kenny would have a successful TV show and Shawn Micallef would be struggling to find an audience.

I do love the feud between and the ABC. Our two publicly funded broadcasters. Chris Kenny certainly takes offence AND promotes ABC programming quite nicely.

These Sky News clowns just can’t stop watching the ABC.

Chris Kenny claims he is for free speech but sues people exercising free speech...

Is there a point to this constant stream of vile fetid bullshit your little ‘news’ network constantly promotes, ? Are you trying to be edgy because no one watches these shitstain programs?

Shauns always gonna rate the tighty whiteys right off you Chris. You’re unbelievably boring and he is extremely talented and entertaining.

It was a joke, my goodness

Chris should just shut up, shaunmicallef Is a lord.

This is actual trash 'journalism’ - literally no benefit to anyone in hearing this opinion. Do better

Neither of you are funny.

Hmm, is this because the alcohol industry didn’t like Shaun’s doco? How much are they paying you, Chris Kenny?

Why does so many ( nearly everyone here) disparage Chris without watching and acknowledging what he said. I happened to be one of the seven and heard myself what he said. It’s funny that a comedian can castigate advertising saying its evil and then be the voice for a major ad. co

Actor's gotta eat. Anyway his show gets better ratings than yours

Sky news just proved their own insignificance.

Why would you even write this? Unlike most of Kenny's dog-endangering work, it's not offensive. It's just ... profoundly sad. I almost feel sorry for you guys, trapped in a job you have to know is killing you.

'...says Chris Kenny'

Poor little Chrissy doesn't get the joke.

Is Chris Kenny the guy that fucked a dog a while back?

Sky News? Never heard of it........

Just circling around to increase tha ratio

The only thing CK has over shaunmicallef is alliteration. The attempt to shame Shaun has been a complete CK obliteration.

Sky New’s revolting click bait reporting (It would be insulting to call it journalism) is relentless. Disseminating tabloid fodder, masquerading as news. There are really serious things going on here and abroad, and this is the kind of inane story Sky News insists on reporting.

Is Sky still a “thing”?

Starts a verbal with a professional comedian. Should end well

So Chris Kenny doesn’t know what a joke is? If you asked him “why did the chicken cross the road?” Would he go look for a literal chicken & then write an article about how there was no chicken & the abc lied to him?

Dragging out the old 'you can't criticise capitalism if you're inside it when it's a jail and you're stuck in it' dessicated piece of chestnut

I know Chris Kenny. A sad, miserable man, who has it in for the ABC ever since someone suggested he fucked his dog one time. So toxic and belligerent, his own offspring have taken to the media to discuss his issues & hypocrisies. A perfect fit for Sky News

Genius!

Save some money and axe Chris Kenny and the rest of your opinionated panelists they not rate

ChrisKenny ABC spasms...

shaunmicallef's retweet of this post now has over 3100 likes. Compare that to 16 (current) on the original post. Thanks almost a 200x difference. Why do you even bother?

Why do so many right wingers lack a sense of humour? Are their comprehension skills really as poor as they appear to be, or do they just fake in a pathetic attempt to stir up outrage?

I'm sorry....but Chris Kenny and Sky News Australia have mistaken most of us for people who could give a rat's arse what you Murdoch idiots think. Propaganda for the hateful gutter rats and maggots. Piss off.

Chris Kenny! Pick on someone your own size!!!

Sssssh.....time to delete your business.

Chris feeling lonely again . Just trying to get some form of popularity as Shaun . Not going to happen Chris

Chris who?

Spell

Chris Kenny once again proving his mediocracy to the world. Woof

ABC bad, says Chris Kenny

Amazing that ABC is living so rent free in Chris Kenny’s head that he’ll watch an hour long ABC show in order to write an entire article about one line in the show

Slow news day, perhaps? (I say “news” loosely)

If you’re going after Micallef you’re going to have to do better than that.

Who is Chris Kenny?...no seriously?

1.5B losses says Shaun is actually making more money than Newscorp. Without any government tax assistance shaunmicallef

Back to barking at more popular passers by for clicks. Chris Kenny wishes he had shaunmicallef's numbers.

Struggling for relevance ... whic seems the case for all the Sky after dark commentators.

PM shitzhispants is killing elderly Australians on a daily basis with his utter negligence and contempt yet youre going after a comedian.

Is Sky News a satire channel?

Surely there's a lonely dog around somewhere that needs Chris's attention?!

That's funny 🤣🤣🤣

Yes, yes Sky News Master, whatever you say Master. PissKenny

You feeling OK pet?

*BREAKING NEWS*: ChrisKenny tells Australians he's a 'journalist', while directly profiting from peddling BS.

Chris who?

Wow! Chris Kenny comes to the defence of the advertising industry! (And doesn’t get the humour in On The Sauce).

Once again, who cares what Kenny thinks. He is another irrelevant white right wing male rotting away in the putrid depths of Sky.

Can wait for your hit piece on Jemimia from Play School.

What is the 'disease that afflicts Melbourne comedians when they become political at a certain age' and should I be worried?

I hope you didn't hurt yourself with that stretch

The Newscorpse snowflakes are now so sensitive that they are getting triggered by comedians. Well done shaunmicallef

Scraping the barrel.

Clutching at some pretty fine straws there 🙄

Chris Kenny has officially tipped over. Call an ambulance.

You're going after Shaun Micallef? Looks like you're on a downward spiral, my friend.

Never has this been more appropriate...

'In the show he stated “advertising as we know is evil” and admitted to “being very cynical about advertising'.' You know you are quoting what was said during a comedy that has base of satire? You are taking that quote as a release from a rival auspol 'News' outlet? Wow😐

host, Chris Kenny rallies his 7 viewers against anything to do with the public funded ABC without any sense of irony.

What? He is a Muslim? Ilhan Omar says the same crap to America. Unless they have the power and money, it is bad. These free loaders love collecting the Jiziyya (via benefits) from Christian nations, while plotting to destroy you from within.
