This is my main issue with misinformation. I support free speech but I know the effect misinformation can have. A single media personality can convince hundreds of thousands that something fake is real in seconds, and it doesn't matter how much evidence you provide to the contrary. The person they trust told them it's true so it must be.

In the US and UK there are other media outlets that help water down the right wing media sites; which forces those sites to become even more unhinged as they compete for their limited market. Unfortunately for this country, Murdoch continues that unhinged raving here, where he has a dominating 70% of the print media. I can't recall ever seeing a Murdoch paper, or a Murdoch program, that didn't run the "Labor bad, Liberal good" line. Absolutely no balance, or fact based news - just right wing opinion.

That’s really the thing - muscle.
I don’t read the Torygraph nor watch Lie News.
But there’s plenty of left-wing opinion too - from the ABC, Crikey, The Project and The New Daily. Just none of those have the reach that Rupes has. That all said, it’s really up the individual to get different opinions and some balance. The problem is most people don’t. I can’t really blame the source though - they all have an angle - I make it my responsibility to get the balance.

Great that you do. I'd add Independent Australia to the list, but it also doesn't have the reach.
Friendly Jordies is a Youtube site that might attract more younger viewers - He certainly has the ire of John Barilaro, and it's having an effect.

I'm OK with Murdoch having his say, but I'm against a monopoly in the media, The more the merrier.

Friendly Jordies had a debate with one of my mates, then made a retort video about it 6 months later. It was pretty funny.

When it's undue influence where his personal opinions, that sway policy decisions, and demonize those opposing his view, eg our legitimate parliamentary alternatives in Greens and Labor, yet None Nation and Palmer are not held to the same account, or villification, is where I feel its unhealthy at 70% coverage.

We see what damage lightweight journalism and shock jocks have with Fox News in USA and he wants the same revenue and power here.

Michigan GOP finally admit the big lie:

Michigan Republicans eviscerate Trump voter fraud claims in scathing report

The report blasts "lies" and "outright deception" that formed the basis of many claims of election malfeasance in the state.

www.nbcnews.com

@bricktamland What say you about your statement that fraud in Michigan was ‘the worst’??

So yes, the truth ‘came’ - from the GOP. Only took 7 months. And it was reported by MSM!

Will you ‘publicly apologise’ now or despite the Michigan GOP admission you want to move the goalposts again?? We’ll just wait here .

the current US political scene is the worst I have ever seen it... the Executive, the Congress, the State governments, the pundits, the media etc. all infected with this debilitating tribalism that dictates everyone's thinking and decision making etc.

Rants and raves and bogus COVID claims: Sky News blows sky high in regional Australia

“They’ve also begun talking about topics that seem to be brought up only by the show’s hosts.”

- Yeah and? who else would bring them up if not the hosts? it’s not uncommon to bring up a discussion from a show you’ve seen the night before. In fact it happens regularly.

“Last year she began using Sky News as her major source of information as she became more and more sceptical of public health measures.”

- Yeah so she looked at the anomalies and mixed messaging from govt and decided to use a different source of perspective.

“Ken doesn’t blame Sky entirely for his friend’s views”

-That’s incredibly big of Ken isn’t it? I’m certain Kens friend has the option and the right to hold a different perspective without having to find something to blame for it.

“Against the backdrop of a regional Australia that has less and less local media, it’s gaining a foothold as an increasingly popular source of hyper-partisan information and misinformation for those who live in country Australia.”

is it popular because they live in the country? or is it just popular. Or is it that the author is creating the illusion that country folk have nothing better to do than listen to conspiracy theories by people who literally are or have been in all current popular forums of the Australian media?



“The disproved treatment has been a popular topic of discussion by COVID health restrictions sceptics and anti-vaxxers alike”

- lol ah..what the fuck does a disproved treatment for covid have to do with people who for whatever reason choose not to vaccinate against it? It was obviously a popular topic for a lot of people at some point otherwise all the studies wouldn’t have been done around it.Just sounds like a convenient way for the author to throw in “antivaxxer” to appeal to all the warm frogs.

Basically the whole article is a piece of tripe. Left wing BS.Biased.Agenda driven crap.

An Assyrian is in the running to become mayor of NYC.

Being their are more Jews in NYC than the whole of Israel, I doubt he will get any votes lol

Curtis Sliwa cruises to easy win over Mateo in Republican primary for NYC mayor

Curtis Sliwa has captured the Republican primary for NYC mayor in a landslide. Board of Election returns said Sliwa captured 69 percent of votes with 82 percent of the precincts reporting.

I know I hate all politicians, but the only thing I like about this bloke is his surname means "Cross" in Assyrian.

Not exactly shocking…

Giuliani suspended from practicing law in New York over bogus election fraud claims

"We conclude that respondent’s conduct immediately threatens the public interest and warrants interim suspension from the practice of law, pending further proceedings," the state appeals court wrote.
