Erin Molan was until a few days ago a celebrated television news presenter at Sky News Australia. Ever since war broke out between Israel and Hamas on October 7, 2023, she has remained a stout defender of the embattled Jewish state, saying that whatever pain the Gazans are now enduring is a direct result both of Hamas’ atrocities carried out against Israel, and the terror group’s insistence on embedding its combatants, its command-and-control centers, and its weapons in civilian areas and buildings. She has been vague on the reasons for her firing, but it seems clear her defense of Israel was what prompted her dismissal. More on her case can be found here: “Ex-Sky News Australia presenter: I support Israel because I ‘see right from wrong,’” Times of Israel, December 22, 2024:
Australian TV presenter Erin Molan, who was fired by Sky News earlier this month, declined to say she was dismissed because of her outspoken support for Israel, but recalled the backlash — including threats against her family — that she has received over the last year as a result of her stances, in an interview with Channel 12 that aired on Saturday.
During the interview, which was filmed during her recent first visit to Israel, Molan explained that she became an outspoken supporter of Israel over the past 14 months following the October 7, 2023, Hamas terror onslaught in southern Israel which sparked the ongoing war against the terror group in the Gaza Strip due to her ability to “see right from wrong.”
“I can see good versus evil, and I don’t think it’s complicated at all,” she expounded. “I think that every death, every causality, every single life that’s been lost in the Middle East since October 7 lays squarely and solely on the hands of Hamas and the people who fund them.”
Molan was fired from her role as a politician news commentator for Sky News Australia earlier in December for reasons that were not made public, although the broadcast network defined the end of her tenure as “amicable.”…
While she acknowledged that she “paid a heavy price” for her public support of Israel, Molan stopped short of suggesting it was the reason behind her dismissal from Sky News.
“I won’t go too much into the detail of that, but they are not antisemitic at Sky. I’d say that absolutely,” she said.
But Sky News was not prepared to support Erin Molan when the hate mail arrived from viewers, who threatened not just Molan, but her six-year-old daughter, for expressing her views.
Those who fired Erin Molan were alarmed by the complaints they received about her from the pro-Hamas segment of her audience. Now one hopes, and expects, that another television channel will snap her up as a senior correspondent, or even give her a news program of her own, where she can continue to distinguish right from wrong for those Australian viewers who still care about such things.
Sorry Hugh, if you knew Sky News you’d know it’s unlikely this (your headline) is the reason for her departure. The real reason could be “budget”.
She is very pretty. — She may have been fired because of the rape-fantasies of the anti-Semitic Aussies, who get off on the rape videos the dirty Muslims made of the Jewish women on October 7th.
No Freedom of the Press in the Land Down Under it all must be approved by Big Brother before the daily broadcast that’s the way it is with the rest of the Government Controlled News
She might consider starting her own broadcast on X or Rumble. Old school media engulfed lies are ending. Talk to Tucker Carlson, Dan Bongino, or Megyn Kelly. They’re doing just fine after finally not tolerating lies, government, and oligarchy lies.
Australia, New Zealand and all of western Europe have long ago gone over to the dark side. Canada is probably there as well but prayerfully with the reelection of Donald Trump and the MAGA agenda we stopped at the brink.
Australia can no longer be described as a Democracy. Found out 4 years ago when a guy was arrested because he walked to a local park to smoke a cigarette. Charges with violating the stay at home dictate.
For standing up to self defense against a genocidal racist fakestine cult, that uses its civilians to makes as many as possible die – on the altar of demonizing the (‘other’) Non-Arab Non-Muslim entity in the Middle East.
For stranding up against pro genocide “swastika palestine” riots.
