    Australia. You're standing in it.
    A borrowed meme for a borrowed media playbook.
    The news media is a joke in rural Australia.
    Journalism has become opinion and confected rage.
    Lowest common denominator.
    #AppallingHansen is a symptom of our concentrated media where independent voices do not reach the so called battlers and the barricades of ignorance.

  2. #daredevilbornagain utterly disappoints. Yet again, Marvel's ridiculous redemption stories send the signal that evil is given a free pass because they have a twisted sense of grief. #Fisk gets to walk away despite murdering over 20 people in the final episode. #Murdoch jokingly admits that he's messed up and to be honest, I couldn't think of a better assessment of these awful series.

  3. Funny how Sky News Australia suddenly loses its mind the moment someone suggests taxing gas exports.
    Almost like Rupert Murdoch’s News Corp might have a vested interest in keeping the gas giants happy.
    When the argument disappears and the smears start, you know exactly who they’re batting for.

  4. Republicans have all of the power. Democrats refused to listen. We're a gangster nation run by a mobster who fakes stupidity to make him appealing to the masses addicted to the mass media his political party, the one he's been funding, controls.

    I can’t tell you what percentage of the population is insecure with ambiguity and tends towards #blackandwhite answers, irrespective of facts, but I’d say anecdotally: it’s around half the population (more than would say they are religious… and I don’t mean to imply all religious folk are #truebelievers )

  11. #Trump reveals #billionaires #Murdoch & #Dell to take control of #TikTok

    Trump said prominent billionaires – including #media mogul #RupertMurdoch & #tech founder Michael Dell – could be part of a deal in which the #US will take control of the #socialmedia video platform TikTok.

    Trump namedropped the 94-yr-old Murdoch & his son #LachlanMurdoch, the head of #FoxNews & #NewsCorp, as part of participants in the deal.

  12. #murdoch told #lachlan that he should have faith in his own abilities to spend that much money to buy out his siblings. Is everyone laughing. Maybe the Americans won’t get it but in Australia we have first hand experience of #lachlans capabilities. At least #packer knows his limits. #onetel

  13. News at 11: Rupert Murdoch's accelerationist slimebag spawn Lachlan inherits the malignant disinformation corporation #newscorp over his siblings.

    The presumed less evil spawn agree to be bought out and to allow the fascism and white supremacy dispenser propaganda networks to continue their grim objectives unchallenged.

    "Greed is good", for the Murdoch spawn and the global illiberal anti-democratic camp

    Less so for the humanity.

  16. @dangillmor Tariffs are *not* inherently evil. Imagine if high, and ever rising, tariffs were slapped on the #PRC #china after the 1989 #Tiananmen massacre — and until they rethink their military occupation of Tibet?

    Tariffs against any and all dictatorships and and all the positive effects of trade and exchanges targeted solely towards friendly and peaceful countries? Maybe that would have really ended the Cold War and brought about the "end of history"...

    We can only imagine of course, because instead it only took couple of months after that massacre for the USA and other major democracies to be queueing up outside #CCP's headquarters to talk business. #MFN and expedited #WTO memberships followed, with zero consequences for the wholesale breaching of the treaty's letter and spirit. 🤷🏻‍♂️

    That the #trump|tards are planning to use #tariffs as a weapon against friendly liberal democracies is not the fault of the tool.

    PS. Isn't #WSJ part of the Rupert #Murdoch influencing empire...? 👀

  17. @GottaLaff I think #kamalaharris needs better answers for initially reversing #trump #immigration policies. I’d hope it was done for basic human dignity: not locking up 1000 people because there might be one criminal, not taking children from their families where they may never be reunited.

    I’d also suggest she hit harder against #maga #divisiveness: foreign (#putin, #murdoch ) #disinformation filled #fearmongering leading to #usvsthem hate.

    As the Murdoch #succession battle plays out in a US court,
    a separate fight is brewing over control of #News #Corp

    Australian and US investment groups take aim at #dual #voting #rights system that
    ⚠️gives family a dominant voice over how empire is run

    Australian pension funds and governance groups have criticised the share voting powers that allow Rupert Murdoch to control News Corp,
    -- as a secret legal case over the future control of the company is heard in the US state of Nevada.

    The push to untangle News Corp’s structure,
    which allocates different voting rights according to share type,
    ⭐️is being driven by agitators trying to loosen the billionaire’s grip over the media empire
    🔸and stop that influence being passed to his heirs.

    Murdoch has been in Nevada for hearings this week,
    after seeking to 🔹change the terms of a family trust to ensure that his eldest son,
    Lachlan, remains in charge of the company’s stack of newspapers and television networks, including the Wall Street Journal and Fox News.

    The proceedings prompted the US hedge fund Starboard Value to propose a resolution to eliminate News Corp’s dual class share structure,
    -- arguing that the political disagreement in the family
    “could be paralyzing to the strategic direction” of News Corp,
    according to The New York Times.

    Dual structures are commonly used by company founders to retain control of a business even when they have a minority shareholding,
    with Murdoch holding 40% of voting rights via a 14% shareholding.

    Debby Blakey, the chief executive of the A$86bn Hesta superannuation fund, told Guardian Australia that
    “one share, one vote” was fundamental to good corporate governance.

    She said the fund’s “engagement, voting and advocacy activities continue to reflect this belief”.

    “Hesta remains committed to engaging with companies and using our shareholder votes to drive change that helps create long-term investment value for our members,” Blakey told Guardian Australia.

    The Australian Council of Superannuation Investors said it also supported a “one share, one vote” capital structure.

    “Voting is a fundamental shareholder right and one of the key ways for shareholders to ensure accountability at listed companies,” ACSI said.

    The #EnglishLanguage is #NotFitForPurpose.

    With both multiples (2 and more), huge numbers, and entire categories all being designated by the same plural form.

    "Those two ratbag Australians love Trump."
    "Australians are catching Covid."
    "Australians break the law if they join ISIS."

    The Lowey's claim is doubtless true at some level. And with #Murdoch's #SkyNews pumping out #FoxNews type crap the sad fact is that, over some time period there are probably more fools made

  24. Lesenswerte Doppelrezension der Bücher "Männer, die die Welt verbennen" von @chrisstoecker und "Die Reue des Prometheus" von Peter #Sloterdijk von @BlumeEvolution auf Spektrum #Scilogs:

    »Mit 240+ Seiten plus Faktensheets und beeindruckenden Fußnotenapparat belegt der 1973 in Würzburg geborene Psychologe und SPIEGEL-Kolumnist Christian #Stöcker seinen Anspruch auf Sachlich- und #Wissenschaftlichkeit. Faktenreich und rasant präsentiert er in “Männer, die die Welt verbrennen” (2024 bei Ullstein) eine männliche “globale Allianz der #Verbrenner”: Diese reicht von #DavidKoch (USA) und internationalen Wissenschaftsleugner-Netzwerken über Wladimir #Putin (Russland) und dem Medienmogul Rupert #Murdoch (Australien) bis hinunter zur deutschen #ISNM (an deren Anti-Baerbock-Moses-Kampagne er auch meine Kritik erwähnt), zu Frank #Schäffler (FDP), Aserbaidschan-Lobbyisten der CDU und Ex-Kanzler #GerhardSchröder (Gazprom & SPD). Auch Friedrich #Merz, Jens #Spahn sowie Angela #Merkel (zwar Frau, aber eben auch CDU) kommen bei ihm nicht gut weg. Milde erfahren nur die #Grünen, die auch bei der regionalen Ablehnung von Windkraftanlagen oder bei der Agitation gegen Atomkraft- zugunsten von Kohlekraftwerken eben “intraökologische Konflikte” austrügen. […]

    Wäre die fossile Blockade der #Energiewende ausschließlich ein Problem liberaler und rechter Akteure, so bliebe das krasse, umweltpolitische Scheitern der sozialistischen Staaten und Regierungen von der Sowjetunion über “linke” Regierungen des heutigen Angola und alleine in Europa Dutzende sozialdemokratischer Regierungen bis zum neo-autoritären, „revolutionären“ Venezuela unerklärlich. Alles nur bedauerliche, fossile Einzelfälle? Oder doch #Ressourcenfluch?
    An diesem global beobachtbaren Widerspruch setzt der 1947 in Karlsruhe geborene Philosoph Peter #Sloterdijk in “Die Reue des Prometheus. Von der Gabe des Feuers zur globalen Brandstiftung” an. […]
    Laut dem begabten Großrauner Sloterdijk sei das fossile Versagen auch heute keinesfalls auf bürgerliche Bequemlichkeit, sondern vor allem auf eine verhängnisvolle Fehlentscheidung der Marxisten und generell #Arbeiterbewegung im 19. Jahrhundert zurück zu führen. Denn statt nach der vor allem auch von Christen betriebenen Abschaffung der #Sklaverei als “#Ausbeutung des Menschen durch den Menschen” eine wirklich gerechte und nachhaltige Gesellschaft zu gründen, hätte die entstehende Linke mit der Verschmelzung des Arbeits- und Energiebegriffes den Weg zur “Ausbeutung der Erde im Interesse des Menschen” (S. 46) geebnet. […] Neben zahlreichen katastrophal gescheiterten Links-Diktaturen mit Millionen von Toten sei damit bestenfalls eine “Ausbeutungsverschiebung” (S. 48) erreicht worden, die “moderne Gesellschaften eher Konsumvereinen” angleiche und sich nicht zuletzt in “expandierender, ja explodierender #Massentierhaltung” (S. 49) zeige. Die Gier sei also den Menschen nicht erst durch kapitalistische Lobbyisten und Werber eingetrichtert worden. “Die Erwartungen in bezug auf Teilhabe an den quasi anonym und massenhaft anströmenden Überflußgütern wurden für große Mehrheiten zu einer zweiten Natur. Die ‘Feuer des Neides’ trugen das Ihre bei, die konsumierenden Massen zu synchronisieren und zu verähnlichen.” (S. 55) So mündet Sloterdijks sehr Schweiz-Alpenraum-kompatible Argumentation zum Schutz der “#Mitwelt” (statt #Umwelt) in Aufrufe zu neuerlicher Natürlichkeit, Genügsamkeit und familiärer Bescheidenheit vor allem von Frauen bis hin zum “energetischen Pazifismus” (S. 61) und einer “Helvetisierung des Planeten” (S. 63), also der Zerlegung von Großstädten und großen Nationalstaaten in kleinere, föderale Kantone. Der globale Aufstieg rechtspopulistischer und nationalistischer Bewegungen bilde dagegen einen Anfall von “hyper-prometheischem Aufbegehren” (S. 68). Wenn der Philosoph hier auch ausdrücklich #Verschwörungsmythen eine Absage erteilt, so bezeichnet der Spektrum-Rezensent Josef König den sloterdijkschen Stil doch recht treffend als “elitären #Traditionalismus”.«
