It is obvious from Brian’s rant that he dislikes Howard, endorses the idea that the entire third world should immediately barge into Australia, does not like religious values being taught in schools, dislikes Alan Jones, and thinks that Jones’s audience are easily manipulated idiots. Brian prefers to support the Muslims who were terrorizing the people of Cronulla at the expense of his own people in Cronulla, and rather incredibly, says that the noble ABC “should take a stand against spin”, when it is in fact the prime offender.
Brian compares Howard with Hitler which is pure spin. He thinks that the “children overboard” incident is a scandal of Watergate proportions when most people see it as nothing more than a spinned up storm in a teacup. He claims that “asylum seekers” ( a spin on “country shopping illegal immigrants”) are of good character, when everybody in Australia knows that the “refugee” area of Cabramatta is the heroin capitol of Australia, while the endemic drive by killings in the Muslim areas of Sydney have made this capitol city the Chicago of the Pacific.
Prior to the advent of “shock jock” radio, there was little cultural diversity in the media. Most of the media, especially the ABC, consistently reported the news through the distorted lens of left wing ideology. But Brian thinks that having balance in the media is bad because anything which contradicts left wing spin is to be deplored.
Brian also deplores religious spin in schools, and presumably wants children educated with left wing spin by paid, public service “ethicists” who will preach the new Word according to Marx.
Brian obviously believes that he and people who hold his peculiar views are the keepers of the gate of all that is good and holy, and anyone who opposes his sacred humanitarian ideology is the manifestation of evil
