@Old_IT_geek Siobhan McKenna may not share the Murdoch name, but she’s now one of the key enablers of the Murdoch empire’s political and media power. Her rise shows how entrenched corporate and media influence has become in shaping public debate in Australia. The Murdochs and their executives are not just running media businesses — they’re manipulating national narratives on climate, politics and power, all while enjoying government appointments and cushy board roles.
Just a reminder that a small group of ultra-wealthy insiders hold extraordinary sway over what Australians see, read and believe. Until there’s genuine media reform and limits on concentrated ownership, democracy will remain distorted by the interests of people like McKenna and the Murdochs who employ her.#murdochmedia #australianpolitics #mediaconcentration #newsCorp #australia

CNN's new righty owner has ruined #CNN on the one day at a time plan.
That Republican who was part of the Bush administration in his blah blah blah about today's Jan 6th Committee criminal referral of Trump, slipped in "the crimes committed by the President", referring to Biden. Quickly continued his blah blah blah. Whoever was the host did not call him on it. Let him get away with this Fox news style lie/propaganda.
