#RITA PANAHI ARCHIVE#
Guardian Australia uncovered the videos by sifting through thousands of videos on Sky News’ YouTube playlists uploaded during the pandemic, and using internet archive website to show what was originally in the deleted videos on those playlists. Both YouTube and Sky News have declined to say which videos specifically were removed. Sky News has said the videos that were removed were “old”, however Guardian Australia understands the deleted cache includes content from 2021, as well as 2020.

Guardian Australia has been unable to determine whether the former 2GB’s broadcaster’s more recent videos have been removed. The ban was imposed by the digital giant on Thursday, the day after the Daily Telegraph ended Jones’s regular column amid controversy about his Covid-19 commentary. “The complainants were referred to Sky in the first instance and the Acma will consider the matter and take the broadcaster’s actions to correct and remove the segment into account if any of the complainants refer their complaint back to the Acma.” “Most recently, the Acma received seven complaints relating to a broadcast on 12 July 2021 of a segment on the Alan Jone s program featuring Mr Jones and Craig Kelly MP. “Since the beginning of 2020, the Acma has received 23 complaints about Sky’s coverage of the Covid pandemic,” a spokesman said. The media regulator, the Australian Communications and Media Authority (Acma), said it was “monitoring Sky’s response to ongoing community concerns about its coverage” but can’t investigate due to the self-regulatory system. Where is the public media regulator in all this?” “Many people are asking why it takes a tech company to hold Murdoch’s News Corp’s dissemination of Covid misinformation and conspiracy theories to account. “There are questions for both the government regulator and the companies involved, and the media inquiry should investigate. “The obvious question is if the spread of misinformation isn’t allowed on the internet why is it on television broadcasts?” the chair of the senate inquiry into media diversity Sarah Hanson-Young said.
The media diversity inquiry is expected to call Sky News, YouTube, Google and the Australian Communications and Media Authority to give evidence about the ban as early as Friday. Sky’s digital editor Jack Houghton has reported that videos that questioned the effectiveness of masks and lockdowns were also targeted but did not reveal which shows they were from. The last video is Dean calling an incident about the removal of a family from a flight after their two-year-old child could not be fitted with a mask “evil” and “authoritarianism”. Sky News Australia July 27, 2021Īnother features Jones in April 2020, then hosting the Jones & Richo show, speaking to billionaire Clive Palmer after he had secured 32m doses of hydroxychloroquine for Australia. Sky News host Alan Jones has called for people to not participate in any illegal protests following the scenes across major cities on the weekend.
