Sharri Markson blasts ‘virtue-signalling’ journalists for signing war coverage petition
Sky News host Sharri Markson has blasted “virtue signalling” journalists who signed a petition calling for a change in how they cover the war between Israel and Hamas.
The open letter calls for journalists to apply the same scepticism to Israeli government information as they would to Hamas.
Ms Markson expressed disappointment in the “unbelievable” petition and claimed the journalists who signed it “don’t care” about racism, equality or diversity when it comes to Jews.
“I don't even know how it's possible to be less sympathetic; these media outlets are already so hostile towards Israel and Jews,” she said.
“They don't believe Israel has a right to defend itself after a terror attack which killed 1,400 innocent Israelis and saw another 240 innocent women, children, and men kidnapped and taken hostage.”
Ms Markson also hit out at left-leaning media outlets for failing to report on an incident with Mehreen Faruqi, where the Greens Senator was photographed standing with a student whose placard depicted a figure placing an Israeli flag into a trash bin alongside the words “keep the world clean”.
“The left has tied itself in knots and has somehow turned innocent victims into oppressors and has somehow sided with the terrorists – who, if allowed, would continue to inflict brutal and unbearable acts against Jewish people, not just in Israel but all over the world,” she added.
