‘The ABC should have covered it’: Paul Barry slams Lidia Thorpe coverage
Media Watch has slammed the ABC for not reporting on Lidia Thorpe’s latest outburst, which was widely reported on by other news outlets.
The Independent Senator was caught yelling at people outside a Melbourne strip club in the early hours of the morning, making racist comments and threatening people, but the ABC didn’t really touch on it.
Host of Media Watch, Paul Barry, said, “Aside from some brief mentions, there was nothing in an ABC News bulletin or online.”
“How is that not a news story?” asked Ben.
