Battle of Old Media

Broke and on the ropes, Nine tries to start a Cola War with News Corp, presumably to recover some credibility, audience and revenue following a 40 per cent collapse in market capitalisation.

Nine recently lost significant credibility, caught ignoring a major story when the federal court ruled number one advertiser Harvey Norman deceived customers to the tune of $20 million.

Editorial - Rudd spoke sense about Trump. It’s a vengeful News Corp that has the explaining to do

Actually, I can see a way around the legislation

Not pretty, but who cares

Say there was a crowd funding platform where people could donate to a "group" of independents like say the teals

Where the amount you donate can either be apportioned by the Donator to one or many peers, or a default apportionment could be applied if so selected.

The money would come from a lot of different individuals and be under the cap

BTW that gentleman Clive Palmer is not getting any of my $$$$$

I think #ABC australia is doing a great job of exposing them.

Every election Labor and Coalition votes steadily erode, so they have to go somewhere.

Big indication this time 'round will be how much and where the Duopoly preference each other - now both are actively hand-wringing about the 'independent threat' and colluding with legislation against it - which could significantly impact the size of the cross bench.

Albanese and Dutton to combine forces and parties' votes in next sitting fortnight to attack donation funding for independents and rival parties.

Credit where its due, it's not all fumbled social media policies, burying gambling ad reform, attacking old media's enemies, outlawing opinions and exempting religious whack jobs.

Former Nine corporate lawyer and bible quoting fanatic, Communications Minister Michele Rowland, may have stumbled her way towards a rare win, flagging a 'Digital Duty of Care,' as recommended by an independent review of the Online Safety Act.

Could unleash all sorts of interesting torts such as parents suing US big tech for the suicide of a child or damages to reputations from the selling of incorrect or deliberately false private data. This one might unlock a pandoras box of unpredictable outcomes, some actually good.

Peter Dutton has been howling for an early election for most of 2024. Antony Green wrote in May why there wouldn't be one. Why does the media continually go with "Peter Dutton says..." & not the experience of an election analyst? #auspol

'[Labor's Minister Don] Farrell is close to a deal with the Liberals on his plan ...'

Labor and the Coalition set to combine to introduce legislation some time in the next fortnight that severely curtails donations and spending for independents.

With a first term closing out where Labor championed little but dual income households with investment properties, their voter base seems to have have shrunk considerably raising the prospect of two scenarios at next year's federal election.

Option A) is a hung a parliament with independents and possibly Greens cracking the whip and returning some conviction to federal parliament, which should terrify Labor who've spent an entire term fleeing from anything that requires leadership and a conscience.

Option B) is a Dutton Govt. Which should terrify everyone.

Dutton gets a free pass from the media at large for a huge gaffe (a lie) on #Labor's #housing numbers.

How did the #ABC react when #Albo got the jobless rate wrong in the 2022 election campaign? It was a feeding frenzy.... Franzy. It went on for weeks.

Peter Dutton is asking today, how does a boat reach Australia undected? 2018 Peter Dutton knows the answer. It happened in August that year with a grounding in Queensland near the Daintree River. #auspol https://youtu.be/huHkQ7LQi0Q


Another tactic of the Qld LNP is to disrupt anything in Queensland that has federal government backing in order to make Anthony Albanese look bad & give a platform to Peter Dutton & David Littleproud. The PsiQuantum project faces axe. #auspol

'The explanatory memorandum to the bill says it also covers opinions, claims, commentary and invective.'

Labor's mis and disinformation legislation is kinda shit, according to Professor Anne Twomey.

Considering the minister responsible is also driving unimplementable social media bans while burying gambling ad reforms, not a big surprise.

Strange how they all benefit Minister Rowland's former bosses at Nine Media. Almost looks deliberate.

I don't know why we're worrying about Trump. Our own democracy is being destroyed before our eyes. #AusPolitics #auspol


#LNP leader Peter #Dutton just told 12 minutes of Trumpian lies with zero pushback/fact-checking from a mob of journalists.

One journalist did find to promote one of his lies as a chyron.

The #ABC parrots #Trump-style #misinformation on #qanda.

This is why Trump-wannabe Dutton will win the next Australian election.

The media hates educating the public about the disgusting stuff the Right says, with Senator Ralph Babet being the latest example.

Mark Di Stefano, a journalist with 100k followers, has only tweeted about #Trump 11 times in 2024. #weird

There's journalists and politicians I'd expect to embrace the Hellsite and then there's the ones who regale against Space Karen and what he represents, yet do so creating free content and interactions on the very thing they profess to loath.

Dickheads like Adam Bandt and Bernard Keane. 'I'm opposed to the Nazi Party. You can read all about why in their newsletter.'

As I thought, they do not want young educated users of social media, that will challenge the two major political parties.

After four years of covering gaffes, the #ABC is back to covering policy.

A bit late fellas.

Ironically, if Albanese's social media ban on children was to protect their privacy and keep them out of the clutches of the US surveillance state, I'd be completely on board. Before and after Nov 5.

Sadly, the objectives are not that noble or sophisticated.

ABC News reports: 'An air strike on a house in northern Gaza has killed at least 24 people, reportedly all members of the same family, as Israel continues its renewed offensive against Hamas.'
And this is how it headlines its article: 'Eyewitnesses describe Israeli air strike as a 'massacre' in northern Gaza town of Jabalia.'
Three things to note which are typical of how our corporate and legacy media covers Israel's genocidal rampage: eyewitnesses just "DESCRIBE" this monstrous act and it occurred merely "REPORTEDLY" but Israel "CONTINUES ITS RENEWED OFFENSIVE AGAINST HAMAS.' So once again Israel's explanation is given immediate credence while doubt is implied regarding what witnesses saw.
What would any normal person call the mass murder of an entire family? So, let's rewrite that headline, shall we?
ISRAEL MASSACRES ANOTHER FAMILY IN GAZA.
