The reactions to this tweet are doing my head in.

The Premier's spinners told journos today that the CHO was late to sign the Directions, i.e. today's mess was (at least partly) Sutton's fault.

Sutton simply corrects the record.

But how to interpret this if you're a Dan stan? https://twitter.com/VictorianCHO/status/1348571350999330817
Pile onto the journo for getting her facts wrong and for being a Rupert minion of course! Never mind that @sumeyyailanbey is a scrupulously independent journo from The Age, not a Murdoch paper, and was simply reporting what Govt media staff presented to her as facts.
Sorry stans, but your Premier has an army of spinners and sometimes they lie. Dan and Brett aren't best friends running a perfectly smooth operation. Journalists aren't all secretly in cahoots trying to elect the Liberals. Criticism of a Labor Premier isn't right wing by default.
Blaming and attacking journalists whenever facts don't align with your view of the world, particularly the infallibility of your beloved leader, is just waterdrop MAGA.

Stop biting journalists' heads off for doing their jobs.
