This episode of Media Watch examines how a familiar face to Fox News viewers has been named White House Press Secretary, walking a well-worn path back and forth between the conservative outlet and the Trump administration.
Plus, a superannuation expert fails to declare her financial links to the industry in her regular media outings.
And News Corp’s regular ‘On this day’ history column has a habit of getting creative with the facts.
