The power of the Murdoch media to manipulate : Comments

By Alan Austin, published 30/8/2013

Murdoch's economists are more numerous, better writers and by virtue of their broader reach have greater influence.

Now that Alan has been caught telling porkies, his credibility is shot.

Murdoch's voice is one among thousands, it is just one of the most trusted and listened to ones based on years of accurate, articulate and incisive reporting. That a few individuals at one of his many subsidiaries overseas acted unethically in obtaining information does not translate to Australia. Alan and his contemporaries in Getup etc have over egged the cake so many times that most Australians have simply stopped listening.

Alan, if you want to motivate for an "ethical" press you need to try to be ethical yourself.

Yes, only a fool/s could believe that a media baron caused the majority of Aust's to vote one way.

Chris,

I wonder why Uncle Rupert has gone to all the trouble of daubing his front pages with anti-Rudd/Labor rhetoric.

What a silly man if it's had no effect at all.

Quite simple, Poirot. It did not change the US elections, Obama still won, but it made him lots of money! Rupert sells anything from page 3 girls to religious programmes, to make a quid

Yabby,

Awww, c'mon....

Yes Rupert makes money, but he was giving it his best shot to get Romney up.

That it didn't work is beside the point.

Murdoch was using his position and clout the way he knows best.
