Malcolm Turnbull wanted journalists to be ‘state media’ and ‘ignore his divided party room’

Malcolm Turnbull has nobody but himself to blame for his political demise, according to Sky News Political Editor Andrew Clennell. In a virtual address to the National Press Club, the former prime minister again repeated his claims Australian media organisations including News Corp were involved in his downfall as leader. Mr Clennell said that it was the job of the press to hold political leaders fairly to account. "I don’t know what Malcolm wanted - did he want state-run media? Did he want his talking points reported all the time,” Mr Clennell said. "He led a divided party room that leaked on him. "Presumably he thought News Corp journalists should just ignore the spill and ignore the leaks." Via news.com.au — Australia’s #1 news site https://www.news.com.au
