Fighting Fake News with REAL 12/12/22, Prosecutor accuses Police of interference and bias, The Scam, Fox Culture at Sky,

 

A case for the Prosecution vs the case for the AFP. However aren’t they on the same side? If so who is Brittany Higgins?

Drumgold’s letter, released under freedom of information, made a series of extraordinary allegations about police conduct during the investigation and trial stages, saying he felt there was “a very clear campaign to pressure” him not to prosecute the alleged rape of Brittany Higgins.

He alleged investigators had bullied Higgins, forcing her to insulate herself from further contact with them, and that police “clearly aligned with the successful defence of this matter” during the trial.

Drumgold told Gaughan he wanted a public inquiry into police and political conduct during the case.

Fox culture spreads to Australia and the Kings ( in their own mind ) fall like Humpty. Or did they simply want to get rid of him? An investigation is underway 

Smith, who is also a radio host on 2GB Weekends, runs Sky News’ Chris Smith Tonight on Sundays at 6pm and was expected to become the host of a program at 5pm weeknights from 2023. He was among the crowd who attended Lachlan Murdoch’s Christmas Party on Thursday evening.

A 2GB spokesperson said Smith would not appear on air.

“2GB has been made aware of serious allegations against Chris Smith, arising from the Sky News Christmas party. Sky has advised they are conducting an investigation. Chris has been stood down from his duties at 2GB until the investigation has concluded,” the spokesperson said.

Smith has behaved poorly at a Christmas party on a previous occasion.

He was suspended indefinitely from his afternoon show on 2GB in 2009 for allegedly groping female colleagues at the Christmas party of Macquarie Radio (now Nine Radio). He blamed the 2009 incident on drinking and drugs and ran an apology in The Sunday Telegraph.

When he was working with A Current Affair, Smith exposed himself to staff and on another occasion fondled a woman’s breasts.

This is the second time in a matter of months News Corp, the owner of Sky News, has had to deal with allegations of inappropriate behaviour at a function. This masthead revealed last month The Australian’s editor-in-chief Christopher Dore departed the company over lewd comments made towards a woman at an event in the US.

Smith was contacted repeatedly for comment.
