Paul Barry ‘covered up’ ABC’s failure to cover a crucial news story

Media Watch host Paul Barry has let down Victorians by covering up the ABC’s failure to prosecute a story about legal experts warning the Andrews Government was poised to erode civil liberties, according to Sky News Digital Editor Jack Houghton. Mr Barry erroneously criticised Sky News host Chris Kenny for pointing out the ABC had failed to properly cover the story of a letter written by 18 experts warning against the Victorian Government’s bid for extraordinary powers. Mr Barry cited radio interviews – some of which didn’t even reference the letter – but failed to locate a single hard news story on the topic. “Paul Barry is a little bit confused about the difference between a radio interview and a hard news story,” Mr Houghton said. “More tragically he’s let down all the taxpayers in Victoria who deserved this story to be prosecuted. “There’s not a single hard news story people can search and read, they’ve failed the people of Victoria and Paul Barry, he just covered it up.” Sky News host Chris Kenny said Paul Barry – a “highly paid ideologue” – defended the ABC by “misleading his viewers”.
