As is customary for the right-wing Murdoch-media’s right-wing “news” channel Sky News, its right-wing website has recycled the right-wing comments made on a right-wing interview show by a right-wing commentator backing to the hilt right-wing Opposition Leader Peter Dutton. (main picture)

The right-wing commentator, from the right-wing magazine The Spectator was as expected and required by right-wing Sky News not complimentary about Anthony Albanese, basically for the PM’s failure to parrot every word uttered by genocidal maniac and far-right Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu.

At the same time, of course, the same commentator lauded Dutton for stoking the flames of division by yet again weaponising anti-Semitic incidents by suggesting they were happening every day, possibly every hour, or even every minute to every Jewish person in Australia and of course it’s all Albo’s fault.

Naturally the said commentator never entertained the notion that perhaps if the aforementioned Netanyahu hadn’t embarked on a campaign of blatant genocide in Gaza there may not have been such a strong backlash against his government which Dutton and others continuously conflate with anti-Semitsm, thereby debasing actual acts of anti-Semitism.

The Spectator chap said Dutton had been “holding the line” against anti-Semitism but Sky’s online report said the Opposition Leader had been “holding the ling”.

Our Media Glass House researchers have discovered that. A ling is a type of fish and they are grateful to the Sydney Fish Market for the picture of one, below.

They are not sure what subconscious thought caused a Sky staffer to substitute “ling” for “line”.

But ling are described as being long and slender with a small head and small eyes and a large mouth, which suggests the staffer responsible may have simply confused it with Dutton.
