United States3 months ago - I should not know your opinion
The segment on the Prince Harry and Meghan was disappointing. The hosts were discussing the Australian visit but also giving their opinion on the couple as well. I think it is important journalists remain neutral while discussing the content they cover, I should not know your opinion as you are covering this for The Australian, not your own independent show.

Right wing lies & propaganda, with misogyny and racism heavily featured.
