“I’d love to know more about how they balance coverage of Kim Jong-Un’s many obvious strengths with his weaknesses, like being too handsome.”

ABC Chair Ita Buttrose, handpicked by the PM for her lifelong career championing the working-class interests of Kerry Packer and Rupert Murdoch, has hired a group of Korean Central Television (KCTV) consultants to help the national broadcaster more fairly balance the interests of the Coalition with the interests of the fossil fuel industry.

As the only official source of television news for North Koreans, KCTV has significant experience representing both sides of the Korean Workers Party: its glorious history and its stunning achievements.

Ms Buttrose said “Here at the ABC we’ve been working hard of late to independently and objectively report on Scott Morrison’s glorious and successful leadership. But I’m hoping the North Koreans teach us the value of impartiality when it comes to also covering the supreme wisdom of the other side: the famous and magnificent fossil fuel companies.”

You can watch Ita’s new hire as host of 730 in action below:
