The Murdoch press downunder, hot on the heels of a stunning conservative defeat of their favoured LNP Coalition, are crowing about the poor performance of the Greens. The News Corp platform’s Sky News Australia and The Australian are redirecting their ire at another progressive organisation rather than deal with the decimation of the Libs. How typical of these biased piss poor excuses for media. They feed on bile and blame. Decrepit Rupert and his nasty son Lachlan and their minions polluting the airwaves downunder. Hey guys, the Australian people rejected your right wing vision and Trumpian aspirations. Maybe time to pack up and ship off to America for good – the nation would be better off without you.
Murdoch & Fox News
Murdoch and Fox News have been a facilitator of the bitter polarisation of the United States. Anything for a buck, hey Rupert. Exploiting the complete absence of any standards of factuality in journalism over there News Corp has gone to town with lies and misinformation on behalf of the GOP and their top felon Donald Trump. The tripe served up on Fox makes Pravda in the 1950s in the USSR look like a beacon of journalistic integrity. Murdoch began the steep decline of the media via his op/ed trend in all his newspapers back in the 1980’s. Opinions replaced investigative journalism. Fake news replaced facts. Until we are where we find ourselves today in a post-truth world. Americans eat up the BS with a knife and fork.
Murdoch Press Neocon Nasties
The Murdoch press downunder have been staunch supporters of the Anglo-settler psyche and its exploitative nature. Taking stuff from those that do not defend their assets with murderous intent. Wealth and power for the white man. No limits on the avaristic appetites of oligarchs. The disempowerment of communities and fear mongering for the purposes of shoring up the status quo. In the spirit of Donald J Trump the Murdoch press never admit defeat. No time for licking their wounds over the decimation of the LNP Coalition, instead they go after another old enemy the Greens. Putting the boot in is their raison d’etre. Life is not worth living if you don’t have someone to hate, hey Rupert?
News Corp Australia Is No Longer Listening
The average Liberal Party voter is a white man in his 70s and the average Australian is a 37 YO woman. Not many of these women are watching Sky News Australia or reading a Murdoch rag sheet. Time to pack up and go somewhere else News Corp! Take your nasty right wing politics and ship off to the USA. Australia has rejected your lies and your bile. Your journalism is not fit to wear the name. Take your tired old hacks and shut up shop and do us all a favour.
“News Corp, and the editors it employs to run its political campaigns, owns a very great deal of this disaster. And the sooner it accepts that — of course, it won’t — the sooner its friends in the Liberal Party can get back to being politically relevant.
What the Liberal Party itself needs to understand is that News Corp is a foreign-owned communications business, with its own agenda of fostering hatred, resentment and division in order to sell advertising and subscriptions. Its alliance with the Liberals is in pursuit of those goals — not in pursuit of good policy. Its best interests are those of the Murdochs and other shareholders that are paramount to News Corp’s business model (which, let us remember, pays not a single cent of tax in Australia), not those of Australians.”
News Corp another freeloading corporate scumbag that pays no tax to Australians!
“Listening to folk who regularly consume Fox News and Sky News Australia content you enter a disturbing place. The right wing media is profoundly corrupt. The reporting on Trump is more akin to cheer leading than any scrutineering. Outlandish claims by Donald Trump are accepted without examination. The right wing media bubble is an echo chamber full of lies and exaggerations. This is the home of fake news for gaslighting and other nefarious means. The false accusations about the economic wastage and criminality of welfare programmes by Elon Musk and his DOGE are an illustration of this.”
