@andrewrock How many RWNJ's can David Speers fit into one #insiders episode. Hastie alone is cringeworthy enough on most subjects. But Sheridan is another level of mad.
Sadly turning into a platform for ex- and current #murdochPress stooges.

Thinking today of mob around this continent feeling unnoticed and unwanted (again).
If (almost) any other community had been targeted by an attempted mass murder (likely mass casualty bombing attack) at a gathering marking a sacred day of mourning, do you think it might have made a few more headlines? Might there be a bit more discussion in parliament? Calls for a #RoyalCommission, extensive community discussion of how to address the pervasive #racism very likely at the root of the attack?
There already exists a comprehensive national #antiracism strategy developed over years in consultation with a wide number of relevant experts and stakeholders. It was delivered to the federal government and tabled in parliament over a year ago. The government is yet to respond.
Instead, the duopoly reaches for knee-jerk rushed legislation, atrociously designed, with almost no opportunity for genuine scrutiny, that relies purely on the discredited approach of further #CriminalisationOfDissent Indeed, the existence of these laws is already being weaponised by the #MurdochPress against the very group targeted by the attempted bomb attack, claiming that #Indigenous criticisms of white Australia are racist hate speech and the groups organising the #InvasionDay rallies ought to be proscribed.
Jesus wept.

Probably all you need to know about Adelaide Writers' Week being cancelled. Sad to see the event cancelled, but absolutely the right decision by fellow writers, and I take my hat off to them. Shame on the SA Premier - a stain on his record.

Time to wake up and cancel #MurdochPress and #BoycottMurdoch - get rid of the brown stain on the Australian media landscape #auspol

Finished reading Earthquake by Niki Savva. A book about politics (specifically the ‘surprise’ losses by conservatives of the last 2 Australian elections), full of quotable quotes. From the Introduction (p 3):
“Journalists… seldom welcome being told how to do their jobs better, especially if they are in the business of dividing, not informing, or if they are loathe to deliver tough messages to leaders they like or their owners support. Blindly partisan media—particularly Sky After Dark and the Murdoch Press—create or nurture the fatal flaws that eventually destroy the very people they are desperate to promote. Along the way they wreck their own credibility. Covering up for conservatives—or anybody else—ensures that everyone loses. Including and especially Australians.” -

I get why some are inappropriate (Désirée and Ting Tong) but wasn’t Daffyd played by a gay man (Matt Lucas) and it’s established from the outset that Andy Pipkin is able-bodied and faking his disability? #MurdochPress getting confused again. #LittleBritain

@moz @fixatedpersonsunit Shocker: the “record numbers” touted by the capitalist media apparatus are just bots and aggregator redirects slamming into a paywall. The entire business model is a shell game—manufacturing consent and fake metrics to serve the ruling class and their advertisers. Classic News Corp spin: inflate the numbers, wave them at shareholders, and call it success.

@jhaue It’s infuriating to see the obstruction playbook laid out so plainly. While people lose their homes to fires and floods, the Murdoch press and the business council work tirelessly to block any real change.
Let’s be honest: Murdoch almost certainly has a massive hidden financial stake in keeping fossil fuels alive. We may never know the full extent, but he’s not doing this for the economy - he’s protecting his own fortune.
They are arsonists posing as firefighters, and they belong in the dock for crimes against the future, not on the opinion pages.#auspol #climatecrisis #murdochpress #fossilfuels #climateaction #MurdochRoyalCommission #vestedInterests

Real estate agents are rarely considered the victim. But when it comes to the behemoths of property listings in Australia, estate agents have faced price gouging to the tune of a 5000% price rise over the last 15 years for a 'premium' listing on the market-dominant platform. Without paying for that 'premium' service, properties tend to disappear from search results.
Since the behemoth in question is a subsidiary of (and substantially bankrolling) Australia's dominant media company (i.e. #Murdoch), with a market capitalisation greater than supermarket giant #Coles, here is yet another reason the political duopoly are reluctant to touch structural #TaxJustice issues such as #NegativeGearing or #CapitalGainsTax.

I think I tried this one out and it was crap. #Netflix, which I have never joined, has sent me spam and uploaded my private information to Facebook, so Iʼm in no rush to join them, either.

Fine article.
it even quotes Laura,
"t’s a little mystifying how a company that has had to pay out an estimated $2bn – so far – in legal settlements for illegally hacking peoples phones, and other invasions of privacy, has set itself up as an arbiter of journalistic standards."We need a #MurdochRoyalCommission.
Like the #WashingtonTimes (started by the #Moonies guy), and the #NewYorkPost (another Murdoch rag), #TheAustralian newspaper is a sham.

#MurdochPress, clutching at straws—though I guess their audience is fine with this.

Fox News does mention the Trump verdict but they are spending a lot of time on a cultistʼs murder trial verdict. #USA #MurdochPress

@swearyanthony I was actually just thinking a few hours before seeing this: "if I were a #billionaire #DirtyEnergy #plutocrat and I wanted to pollute public discourse, wouldn't I want to set up various awards to give my corporate megaphone (#MurdochPress etc) a veneer of 'quality journalism'? Hmmm,I wonder what the history and funding of the Walkleys is?"

#SuellaBraverman: A balance must be struck between good and evil
#KeirStarmer: Only Labour will make that balance work
#GaryLineker: Evil is bad
The #MurdochPress: Lefty BBC presenter says we are all Nazis now!
The #BBC: Our presenters must remain impartial on matters of good and evil (like our Tory Chairman, Director-General, and beloved board member #RobbieGibb)
The British electorate: 🤦
