Comment: After the fakenews furore, is this really where Network Ten wants to be? | ViscountBrooky

clips on social media, so the show is noisy and influential, but that doesn’t help Ten’s coffers so much. As the TV mantra goes, revenue follows ratings.tense interview between Waleed Aly and Prime Minister Scott Morrison in the wake of the Christchurch massacre is instructive.

It is fascinating to recall how when van Onselen arrived at Ten his mission was billed as “explaining the upside to traditional conservatism to a younger audience”. PVO didn't take it well, releasing private texts between himself and Carswell and subsequently criticising the Prime Minister's trip to Washington. In the annals of journalism, it was hardly Walter Cronkite.

ViscountBrooky You are unable to accept the professionalism of the project and how successful they are... or you are far right $

ViscountBrooky Wasn't Carrie being brave for having her normal hair colour? Did Lisa make her re-dye it blonde. Intriguing political drama.

ViscountBrooky Oh dear SMH. What have you become?

ViscountBrooky At least at this stage it's not compulsory to watch such nonsense. Stop complaining & seek life elsewhere.

ViscountBrooky This article has Peter Costello's fingerprints all over it.

ViscountBrooky You've got News Corp run by Murdoch, Channel 7 run by Stokes, and Channel 9 run by Peter Costello (which includes SMH & The Age), all of whom are very right wing & strong & vocal supporters of the LNP.

ViscountBrooky Please arrange for emergency food parcels for the women in the green dress (photo).

ViscountBrooky Everything vanOnselenP says or reports on turns out to be wrong, he is a hack, Helliar tries to be funny but we all know leftist comedy is as funny as a fart in an elevator. Bickmore is only there for eye candy but dumb as a plank. Nothing more needs to be said about Waleed!

SinclaireTony ViscountBrooky Getting rid of Waleed and Peter would help the project back to where it was before it went left. It the news reported with bias now. All they do now is push Waleed's agenda and bag Scomo every chance they get.

ViscountBrooky How about you just put the Age where you wannabe and leave the adults at 10 and the rest of Australia be where we want to be?!

ViscountBrooky Drift to the left......they crashed into the hard left years ago.

ViscountBrooky Don’t expect an article on SkyNews after dark being extreme right wing!

ViscountBrooky 'News and politics' for children and Millenniums

ViscountBrooky Why waste time watching that.

ViscountBrooky Channel 10

ViscountBrooky Actually a decent article on the smh. I'm shocked.

ViscountBrooky Not for me, I can’t even watch the adds for it.

ViscountBrooky Nowhere near the fucking guardian

ViscountBrooky Who writes this crap?

ViscountBrooky Well I am sure if you asked your Peter Van thingamajig that would be a very big YES.

ViscountBrooky Projoke

ViscountBrooky MSM is living on borrowed time

ViscountBrooky A joke as always.

ViscountBrooky I love Waleed, and theprojectTV

ViscountBrooky Fake news reporting on fake news. 🤔

OMGTheMess ViscountBrooky It should be on the ABC

ViscountBrooky Reading all the nonsense their journos tweet on this platform is also quite off putting. No thanks!

ViscountBrooky Refuse to watch this load of Leftie trash!!!!!

ViscountBrooky I agree, theprojecttv and Channel10AU are insufferably left.

ViscountBrooky Want them to throw in $750K for a Lib party fundraiser like your owners. Stopped subscription to bc you were rolling out LNP talking points. You have stopped asking questions & now agree with Government. 3rd term, 7th year, not ALP fault anymore FactsMatter

ViscountBrooky Never watched & never will, in fact my TV hasn't been used for years!

ViscountBrooky Yeah. If only they were as Right Wing as Channels 9 and 7. Then they could all sing from the same propaganda hymn sheet as each other

ViscountBrooky What’s the bet that Hellyers take home is proportional to his weight. celebritysells

ViscountBrooky Good. theprojecttv is the best show on any channel at that time slot. It's a useful counter to the conservative panelists on Studio10au and KAK's attention-seeking rants. Pointing out their shallow reality shows as if Channel7 and Channel9 don't have inane equivalent? Er?

ViscountBrooky The whole team are a bunch of lefties with large pay packets. Just stop watching the show.

ViscountBrooky it’s a wannabe comedy show- for leftards😆

TweetCorrineB ViscountBrooky As long as they get your attention then yes

ViscountBrooky This is a very odd take, and based on no real evidence. Weird, really, weird.

ViscountBrooky some really pathetic unattributed 'quotes' in this piece. If you are going to put a derogatory comments about someone then say who it is. If they havent got the balls to stand by their statement then is does not deserve to be included.

ViscountBrooky It's strange how the left think Project is in the centre & the the right think it's far left. And then right believe most of the media is left anyway, & yet the left believes all media is right wing... probably explains how closed minded most individuals are.

ViscountBrooky PVO has uniquely the biggest chip on his shoulder and glass jaw in auspol

ViscountBrooky theprojecttv Is popular with everyone except viewers. Outstanding. It’s the biggest load of left wing partisan tripe on TV auspol

ViscountBrooky Well they are not another leg of CBS

ViscountBrooky Of course Nine publisher of this paper is a competitor to said Ten Network? That's disclosed?

TweetCorrineB ViscountBrooky They're part of the current (long time current actually) problem! Modern media is a disgrace! PROPOGANDA TRUTHMATTERS stopbullying youdistorttruths zeroethics

ViscountBrooky They got their heads up their own r$re$!!! They believe their own $h!t and are totally blind to reality and the majority of Australians. The sooner they get shut down, the better.

ViscountBrooky Is this news?

ViscountBrooky Does anyone watch it !

ViscountBrooky vanOnselenP 🤣🤣🤣 do you think he has a vendetta against our elected PM? Absolutely he does. With the amount of rubbish he sprays on Twitter, it’s almost an unnerving love affair.

ViscountBrooky Ten didn’t “drift” to the left. It happened the minute they got rid of that piss poor excuse of a human, andrewbolt

ViscountBrooky vanOnselenP will predictably undermine any “mainstream “ media platform with his High-Woke-Bubblegum-Politics.

ViscountBrooky An article written in 2020 containing the phrase 'wander off the reservation'? That's an old racist term I haven't heard for a very long time. It's like the article has been written by someone living back in the 1950s.

ViscountBrooky Drift? As though it hasn't always been way out on the far left

ViscountBrooky Lucky we have Skynews to balance out the news so Australia can get a balanced view of news! Sometimes I feel we live in Nazi Germany, any ppl , group or organisation that shows any Left Wing views is attacked by media hit squads!

ViscountBrooky The Project is just hypocritical Leftist clap trap. You would have to be paid to watch it.

ViscountBrooky Well, they do have intellectual heavy-hitters like Bickmore & Helliar on the program, so ...

ViscountBrooky Silly article. Barely disguised hatred of vanOnselenP dressed up as an opinion piece about an entire network’s alleged ’drift to the left’.

ViscountBrooky Maybe Network Tens in the middle and the rest are too far right?

ViscountBrooky Click

mpsmithnews ViscountBrooky I didn't realise that TV channels-News had to position itself on a political spectrum? I guess that is why 90% of TV & news services are unwatchable!

WillxFernandes ViscountBrooky Shit network no one watches

ViscountBrooky Left wing ... Jesus. How do these political dunces get to be commentators?

ViscountBrooky Maybe check your own backyard with a partisan hack like Uhlmann champ

waldowns ViscountBrooky Get rid of he rat with the gold tooth

ViscountBrooky So any reporting that doesn't parrot govt talking points is 'left wing'? Good luck with your 'reporting' career.

ViscountBrooky Clickbait

ViscountBrooky If Ten does decide to slide to the left - more realistically, the centre - then it will probably be the conservatisation of the ex-Fairfax papers that emptied the niche and made the idea attractive.

ViscountBrooky Urghhhh. The sanctimonious sycophancy of the holier than thou new wave of ‘journalists’ at what was once Fairfax and is now anything but is a sad indictment of the times. When I watch 10, I hear the voices of the people I see. When I read SMH, I see words of vested interests.

ViscountBrooky This article is a pile of shit. How dare you advise not asking hard questions of PM, because otherwise he will not present for interview again. See journalist in dictionary 🙄

ViscountBrooky The left doesn’t like criticism. This article won’t go down well on Twitter.

ViscountBrooky Coverage of the SportsRorts by Network10Comms was excellent. I suppose there is a penalty for that! auspol

ViscountBrooky As opposed to nine's drift into tacky reality TV and third rate sensationalist paycheck journalism

ViscountBrooky Careful your bias is showing.

ViscountBrooky I actually do get the smh but what business is it of theirs what the project does. Love Carrie Waleed and PVO

ViscountBrooky Nine, owner of SMH, hosts fundraisers for the Liberal Party

ViscountBrooky If we want a society where the government knows best and people should simply shutup and follow, then Australia is in trouble.

ViscountBrooky What have you become The Costello turnaround is basically complete

ViscountBrooky What a crap attempt to push back against even the slightest deviation from Australia’s conservative/right wing cartel

ViscountBrooky It is unwatchable

ViscountBrooky If this isn’t a beat up I don’t know what is.

ViscountBrooky ThisisNotJournalism

ViscountBrooky That was the biggest load of crap I've read in a long time. Just sayin.

ViscountBrooky Bet this has nothing to do with Smh being bought out by nine news hey

ViscountBrooky I very much used to enjoy The Project as a refreshing way to get the day's 'bad news'. However it's getting harder to watch with different panel members each night. And most of them espousing loud & often critical opinions, rather than reporting events. Balance & fun please.

ViscountBrooky The Project is as establishment left as it gets. There’s is nothing about the project/ch 10 that even vaguely threatens the current status quo.

ViscountBrooky Hmm nine questioning ten’s direction. Very odd.

ViscountBrooky The b!'sh!t is coming from the right by denying scientific consensus it equates to ignoring facts for beliefs. the left and right are polarizing and weakening our nation..ruling by division is retarded

ViscountBrooky Why does Peter Hellier look like he has just had a hit of Botox and they clicked the camera? Ten is not about news and never was!

ViscountBrooky Would that be the same Stephen Brook who spent fifteen years working at Murdoch’s The Australian?. A Peter Costello appointment perhaps?

ViscountBrooky Long time since we used our big TV screens to watch broadcast TV. All hooked up to pc’s for around a decade. Vale ‘Legacy Media’!

ViscountBrooky Shut this show down !

ViscountBrooky Haha! SMH (Channel 9) moves to the right and goes after Channel 10. Patently obvious. Jealousy or ideological warfare. I also love the author's anonymous sources. Best way to identify a beat-up

ViscountBrooky Left wing? Right wing, far right. Far up far down. Far left. Who bloody cares.

ViscountBrooky I don't see a problem with this. When most corporate media is pushing the ideologies of the ruling class... we need a counter to the Murdochracy.

ViscountBrooky That article was like a jar of broken pencils. Utterly pointless.

ViscountBrooky This is such a bad take. Calling the channel that has KAK more left wing than the Guardian? Comparing the rating successes of shows that are on 10 to criticise channel 10?

ViscountBrooky Young Talent time.....young talent time...oh Yes.🤔😲 Johnny Young. Good own goal there SMH.

ViscountBrooky When I think about Joe Hildebrand, Kerri Anne Kennerley and Steve Price the last thing I think is left-wing.

ViscountBrooky The SMH laying out the facts for once.

ViscountBrooky I think being to the centre than a lot of MSM makes perfect business sense. How are the subscriptions going

ViscountBrooky Dont watch if its crap, white noise news

ViscountBrooky Well, that's been the prevailing ideology in university and humanities depts for a long time. And they produce our teachers!! SMH itself is full of those supporting cultural Marxism. Yes it does exist. Only ideology counts. Look at pile on re Bettina Arndt who gives facts, stats.

ViscountBrooky The Australian media is so far right that anything remotely balanced (or evidence-based) is considered far left...

ViscountBrooky Is a dying format chasing after an audience that is literally dying isn't where SMH and Channel9 want to be?

ViscountBrooky You think they should be like sky with no viewers?

ViscountBrooky Written and published by ch9

ViscountBrooky Most interesting point in this was how few twitter users there are.

ViscountBrooky So would the SMH now like to comment on the business sense of their own charge to the right?

ViscountBrooky So you say! 😉

ViscountBrooky The Project is cancer.

ViscountBrooky The Australian media is so far right that anything remotely progressive (or evidence-based) is considered far left.

ViscountBrooky Savage, but genuinely accurate. PVO just added you to his list.

ViscountBrooky I like programs to see it from both sides, there’s always going to be positive and negative times leading to arguments however this show just shows one biased view and that’s not what people want.

ViscountBrooky This is what ya got, smh?

ViscountBrooky Good article! Particularly re PVO, he clearly has such a chip on his shoulder and if that’s from people laughing at his pre-election predictions then he should learn if he’s going to dish it out then he needs to be able to cop it too

ViscountBrooky Dear SMH, i ceased to subscribe because of the drivel and opinion that seems to permeate as news in your paper. The cryptic xword and Andrew Webster I do miss though.

ViscountBrooky The Sydney Morning Cuckold. Got to love the left, great for a laugh.

ViscountBrooky I donoknow, Channel 9, but they seem to have you rattled. Go back to what you’re good at, sucking up to Hanson and Latham.

ViscountBrooky Thinly disguised hit piece on vanOnselenP framed as an opinion piece about Channel 10. Morrison doesn't like any scrutiny, does he?

ViscountBrooky Because Dancing With The Stars and KAK's daily rants are the epitome of 'left-wing' 🙄

ViscountBrooky PVO loves a good story but isn’t bothered too much with research.

ViscountBrooky Your parent company could learn a a thing or two

ViscountBrooky Well someones gotta balance the political right of fascism that most of the main stream Australian media seems to be touting.

ViscountBrooky Why is reporting on the billions in Government rorts left wing journalism?

ViscountBrooky Ten is as 'left' as Reifenstahl, guardian is as 'left' as Bernays

ViscountBrooky They're clearly not left of the Guardian. People who think that are the same people who think the ABC has left wing bias, when in fact they get more complaints about right wing bias than anything else n

ViscountBrooky After the LNP government rorts is this where Australia wants to be.

ViscountBrooky Woke, broke.
