Daily Mail accuses Media Watch of double standards over Malcolm Fraser ‘clarification’
Holder
The managing director of Daily Mail Australia has accused the ABC’s Media Watch of “double standards” after the public broadcaster’s audience and consumer affairs section accepted the program may have “misled” viewers over the Mail’s coverage of the death of Malcolm Fraser.
It also apologised for any “misunderstanding this may have caused”.
However Daily Mail managing director Peter Holder said he was unhappy that the program itself had only issued a “clarification” on-air and not apologised publicly over the stoush.
It’s all a bit of a yawn. I’m more concerned about the photo that goes with the story. Is Holder wearing Mal’s pants on his head?
Will Daily Mail apologise to News for cutting and pasting stories from the Daily Telegraph website?
Media Watch is more tabloid than the tabloids it goes after
Picture’s a cross between Magnum PI and Robin Williams
I also cannot wait for the DM to apologise to News. Over to you, Mr Holder
I’m with @ Barkeep. More yawn-inspiring media naval gazing. Who – apart from those who work in the media – really cares?
Um The Magnus – not sure if you realise but the Daily Telegraph actually copied Mail Online’s homepage design and quite frequently lifts their stories too – without attribution. Whenever I read the Mail Online they seem to always link back to the source if they haven’t independently reported it.
It is not just the Daily Telegraph that gets cut and pasted.
@ The Magus: Will the Daily Tele apologise to the Daily Mail for blatantly copying The Mail’s iconic and popular Right Rail in a desperate attempt to lift the Tele’s dire digital audience numbers?
@ all Will the Mail and News Ltd just totter off into the sunset please and allow responsible media to report on the facts and not corporate policy?
Yep, Pete’s hairstyle is the most interesting thing about this story.
I’m more interested in hearing about Luke, the little soul that went missing but then turned up safely after 4 days. Our modern day Mowgli.
And now we cross to Graham in the weather room … there appears to be a storm brewing in a teacup but it will soon pass.
