You caught some real right-wingers there. MacSween fell into a silly conservative defense of their right to say anything by moaning that libs are saying 'all opinions aren't worth the same' as if Trump's opinion is worth the same as Einstein's on any topic. Not surprised at that from her
Prue MacSween - Controversies
MacSween caused offence during an appearance on Channel 7's Weekend Sunrise in 2010 for using the word "retard".[15] A fortnight later, MacSween and the program apologised for their use of the word.[16]
During an appearance on Channel 7's Sunrise in 2013, MacSween described Australian Prime Minister Kevin Rudd as a "psychopath", prompting complaints from viewers.[17]
In 2017, during an appearance on 2GB's Deplorables program hosted by Chris Smith, MacSween said she would be tempted to run over television presenter Yassmin Abdel-Magied.[18] This prompted Macquarie Media to issue a statement saying the station didn't condone MacSween's comments, while MacSween defended her comments as being satirical and said she believed it was 'tragic' that many Australians had lost their sense of humour, and lamented about no longer being able to 'take the mickey out of people'.[19]
During the 13 March 2018 edition of Sunrise, MacSween appeared on the program's Hot Topics segment – a panel discussion with the show's presenter Samantha Armytage, and Brisbane radio presenter Ben Davis. The trio discussed a newspaper article which had appeared in The Courier-Mail quoting Federal Children's Minister David Gillespie as saying he wanted to relax rules which required at-risk Indigenous children to be placed with other Aboriginal families.[20]
During the discussion, MacSween claimed a lot of children in the Stolen Generation were removed for their own well-being, and perhaps Australia "need to do it again", as removing at-risk children from their homes was a "no brainer".[21] This prompted an investigation by the Australian Communications and Media Authority which ruled the Seven Network had breached the Commercial Television Industry Code of Practice as it provoked serious contempt on the basis of race and contained strong negative generalisations about Indigenous people.[22][23] The discussion also resulted in a number of protests outside Channel 7's studios in Martin Place and at an outside broadcast on the Gold Coast.[24][25] In June 2020, Channel 7, and McSween were sued as a result of this segment.[26]
MacSween has also attracted media attention for comments made on Nine's morning program Today Extra, including about Australian Greens MP Adam Bandt, whom she described as a "little flea" and "a danger to the community and I suspect a danger to his wife" and about Australian tennis player Nick Kyrgios, whom she described as "a spoilt little Greek brat", "a little creep" who "should have been slapped as a child".[27][28]
Being too precious sometimes gets in the way of valid criticism but the conservatives who label any valid criticism of them as pc to invalidate it distort the real concept of common decency.
Peta Credlin may not be as outrageous, still she is a Murdoch conservative so
In 2020, Credlin caused controversy after claiming in a Sky News broadcast that South Sudanese Australians were not following government measures intended to stop the spread of COVID-19 due to problems with language proficiency, and that “poorly-assimilated" South Sudanese migrants had ignored restrictions in an “end-of-Ramadan feast”.[16] Credlin's statement was harshly criticized in the media, with SBS News noting that the vast majority of South Sudanese people are actually Christians.[17] The Conversation's Denis Muller described Credlin's comments as "a toxic mixture of vitriol and ignorance".[18] Crikey's Charlie Lewis described the broadcast as "racist" and "fact-free", and linked it to a pattern of racially-charged reporting on Sky,[19] while The Conversation's Janak Rogers perceived it as illustrative of a broader problem of lack of ethnic diversity in Australian media.[20] Credlin subsequently made an on-air apology to the South Sudanese community.[21]
In November 2020, Credlin published an article in the conservative, Murdoch-owned Herald Sun which equated Victoria's COVID-19 lockdown with war crimes committed by the Australian SAS.[22] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peta_Credlin#Career
