“Josh Frydenberg ‘deeply offended’ by ABC host’s question on political motivations to anti-Semitism stance” (headline in The Western Australian)
This is the sort of politically compromised, rubbish reporting that is flooding social media. Any one who listened objectively to Sarah Ferguson’s question understood that it was directed at Frydenberg’s call for Albanese to take “personal responsibility for the Bondi massacre deaths”. IT WAS NOT about Frydenberg “motivations to antisemitic stance”.
The question remains…..Is Frydenberg lacking cognitive skills at times, or is he being deviously and politically motivated?
