Refreshing Clarity: News24’s Chris Kenny Cuts Through the Media Fog on October 7

Three years after October 7, News24’s Chris Kenny delivers a stark reminder of how the war began - and the context too much media coverage ignores.

By October 06, 2026

We have become all too accustomed to mainstream media coverage of Israel that adopts Hamas talking points, strips events of context, or treats October 7 as little more than a prelude to Israel’s response.

So perhaps what qualifies as news these days is when a mainstream media outlet gets the story right.

News24 – formerly Sky News Australia – has frequently distinguished itself from much of the international media in its coverage of Israel and the war that followed the October 7 massacre.

And as the world marks three years since the Hamas-led atrocities, News24 host Chris Kenny delivered a sobering reminder of something too much media coverage has obscured: how this war began, who started it, and what Israel has been fighting against ever since.

Thank you, Chris and News24, for giving audiences something increasingly rare: the truth, unvarnished and unapologetic.
