If people are allowed to have mandates in the same way as politicians claim them, then surely the people's loud demand of Labor is that they get rid of the Murdoch fascist gutter media in Australia. Now would be good. What further evidence could a reasonable person possibly need? #auspol #Murdoch

It is unbelievable that people in rural areas continue to support the #National Party, despite the party always supports the big mining companies at the expense of farmers. The National shows little regard for farmland and the environmental health essential for farming. :eyeroll: :eyeroll: :eyeroll:
Since #murdoch's #Skynews already said #Dutton's defeat was due to #LNP not using the Big Gun Barnaby Joyce during the campaign, a leadership #spill is unavoidable.
@InsurgoFormica
You have to get off that channel - irrelevant as the LNP & f**k #Murdoch & their minions.
#Murdoch, his media and his henchmen are all radical! :eyeroll: :eyeroll: :eyeroll:

‘#Blair went on to become godfather to one of #Murdoch’s children and former Sunday Times editor Andrew Neil said the relationship between the two after New Labour gained power was “almost incestuous”.

Der ehemalige Premierminister Gordon Brown hat eine neue Beschwerde bei der britischen Polizei wegen Vorwürfen eingereicht, dass Rupert #Murdoch Zeitungsimperium die #Justiz behindert habe, nachdem er erklärt hatte, er habe mit Beamten gesprochen, die an der ursprünglichen Untersuchung des Telefon-Hacking beteiligt waren.
Gordon Brown makes criminal complaint against Rupert Murdoch’s media empire
Will Murdoch be brought to book over this or will he be allowed to continue to pollute the media in his search for power and influence and profit?

This is so funny, apart from the desperation 'I can still win' is the top story telling the bottom story something...
#auspol #murdoch
We need more actions against #Murdoch's #disinformation empire. He has done significant damage to our democracies and obstructed meaningful progress on climate change for decades. 😡
"...one of the detectives had alleged they believed there was 'significant evidence' that News Group Newspapers (NGN) deleted millions of emails to pervert the course of justice.
In the article, Brown states that the former officers told him that if they had been aware of the background to the email deletions, they would have pushed for further action."
this is stupid! Ignorant! Bizarre! Praising Rupert #Murdoch and his fake news outlets that have promoted #Trump and put him in the presidency with their despicable disgusting lies! #RupertMurdoch should be in jail because he has been the primary architect of #USA #Democracy #Destruction!
@PekkaKallioniemi Re: "Is there a way out of trumpism?"
My personal #1 necessity would be to do *absolutely everything* to pierce the *trump propaganda bubble* and force feed that horde facts about the "maga elite" and their dysfunction, grifting, 'ungodliness', the billionaires' dystopian agenda...
Either the maga bubble built on insanity and lies is demolished, or United States is.
As long as that large segment of population remains captive this nightmare will continue.
I blame #trump and #murdoch for what this person did. They incite hate.

"The Atlas Network is the organising force that connects “almost 600 think tanks in over 100 countries” to promote big business’s goals. While the head office is not currently funded by fossil fuel, many of the partner organisations continue to be, and fighting climate change science and solutions remain core business for many of them."
"Australia needs a minority government with the crossbench granting it courage to tackle the threats to Australian politics of dark money and shadowy disinformation."

I recommend this little browser plugin called "Bye Rupert" which won't let you go to any Murdoch-controlled sites. It's handy for those times when you click on a link without realising it's one of his.

The onus is on us all (especially for many of us in the #fediverse) to search for the truth during #AusElection25 and call out the lies, gaslighting and biased propaganda. We owe it to ourselves to know whom and what we will be voting for. The only way lowly peeps like me can do this is by supporting those truth-tellers with a heavier clout than I and #IndependentJournalism is where we mostly find out much of the truth behind our politician’s machinations. I cannot support all independent news platforms, just a couple. But if everyone of us supported just one independent news outlet (like we support our Masto Instances I hope…), the likes of #Murdoch and #Stokes would be that much less successful in brain washing the Austalian electorate by giving ‘air’ to political liars.

As better, smarter and kinder people than me have TRIED to point out. The US WAS warned.
How much good it could have done with the "allegedly liberal media" controlled largely, if not completely, by #Musk, #Zuckerberg, and #Tiktok, not to mention #Murdoch, but the world did try.

This article from the Australian news site "Crikey" touches on much more than just current goings on in the run up to the Australian election. The author argues that the Murdoch news empire is being cannibalized by the forces Murdoch himself helped unleash, and that this empire is in decline not just in Australia but in the US and the UK too.
Much to think about here. I wonder whether similar forces are at work in countries beyond the English speaking world where moguls have used media power to push their right wing agendas; Bolloré and the late and unlamented ( at least by me) Berlusconi come to mind.
