Reporters denounce Paul Kennedy, complaining that all this actual journalism is making them look bad.
The Government’s PR representatives, mostly found working undercover as journalists right across the Australian media landscape, have come out in force to slam ABC News Breakfast host Paul Kennedy for his treasonous interviews with Health Minister Greg Hunt and Whiteboard Entrepreneur Michaelia Cash.

Senator Cash: No rules were broken, the ANAO report was clear.
PK: No that's not true. This program was needs-based. As in some community clubs need it more than others. That’s where the interference came. pic.twitter.com/d8EJeRC72u
There has long been a consensus in this country that the job of the journalist in a political interview is to remove any obstacles to the steady stream of lies gushing from the mouths of Coalition MPs.
The fact that Kennedy actually put his body on the line between the audience and the bullshit is quite frankly a disgrace to industry standards.
Another good @paulwkennedy effort, taking the ball up hard. Meets with a perfect example of a shifty, bloviating politician bullshitting hard to run the clock down on the interview. https://t.co/KbaBomkbAz
