Plenty of fake news emanating from the right, none more glaring than there's nothing cheaper than coal

Yes, sure we have lots of it, lithium, rare metals and thorium. Which we have used as an indicator mineral when searching for the latter two. Then found when we were extracting things like ilmenite from mineral sands the thorium became a nuisance that needed to be disposed of.

One sharp operator I heard about, apparently found a use for it and the other waste products from sand mining as topdressing that concrete slabs were poured on.

Imagine, this was the best use our best minds could find for the most energy dense material in the world. And potential power prices as low or lower than 2 cents per KwH.

Even so, a bunch of witless, left-leaning loonie toons will go on and on about the radioactivity, even as many are living right on top of a concentrated pile of the stuff and experiencing the health benefits of the consequent hormesis.

Need I say more than that or draw attention to the fat, the only time the word nuclear is mentioned in relation to energy, seems to be during the wee small hours when those who censor our thoughts and public broadcasting are tucked up in the beddie byes.

Even Aunty seems to have climbed aboard this particular bandwagon, given a recent Sunday morning discussion between two conservative thinkers with the loudest most extreme filling the airwaves with his apparent conclusions, i.e., you couldn't have cheap energy lower prices and simultaneously lower emissions!

When the other invitee attempted to refute that, was quickly shut down by the CONTROLLING male presenter. And replicated almost everywhere you look, as folk who haven't a clue are placed in charge of dissemination public information!? and where can't validate has been replaced by WON'T!?

And then we wonder why there's an energy crisis, the parlous state of the nation and routinely BETRAYED TRUST, along with fake news, shovelled by the shipload?

Writing from Germany.

You might ask yourself:

Who is delivering you the mainstream media news?
Could those people be tempted to push their own agenda?

Helmut Markwort is one of the top journalists in Germany, founder of the news magazine FOCUS as well as several radio stations.

Check his statement in the following interview starting at time stamp 10:30:

Journalists have been asked and replied anonymously which party they would vote for. The majority tends to the Green party. (which is a splinter party in Germany with around 11%)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=08bCsyuMoio

Does the Green party have an agenda? Of course, but nowadays it is not the environment any more but to support Merkel and have unlimited and uncontrolled immigration. Would you think that those green journalists prefer to deliver news that support their agenda? The answer is up to you.

Isn't it funny that the original poster writes:
"95% of Green voters trust the public broadcasting system"

Greens and the left have been on the "long march through the institutions" since 1968, and by now have infiltrated everything in Germany, not only the media.

News that don't support their view are therefore branded "fake news", and in reality the reader or viewer has no way anyway to decide what is fake and what is real.

Hasn't history proven that the news from those in power were fake many times?

If I would publish my opinion (end the open borders) under my real name in Germany I would certainly have to look for a new job. And my wife, too. The left and the green have everything under control, even those people with different opinions because nobody dares to speak out any more.

BTW: It has taken only three year of mass immigration to Germany not only to totally divide the society, but now the Merkel government is facing the end and the whole political system is disintegrating rapidly.

Fake news just half of the problem of public figures lying/misrepresenting the facts?

The other is routinely suppressed inconvenient facts that if allowed, would impact negatively on this or that commercial operation?

Does it strike anyone as passing strange that funding for the Oak Ridge thorium powered MSR was pulled by President Nixon, just as it was about to demonstrate its ability to generate the lowest power prices in the world?

And then later, the authorities wanted to bury the remaining stored stocks of U233, a most significant precursor of miracle cancer cure bismuth 213.

And have since, one believes, at the behest of ultra-powerful fossil fuel companies and big nuclear!? Invoked prohibition orders on thorium and its R+D!?

The latter/big nuclear, whose primary business model is centred on/served by fuel enrichment and fabrication, which is where they make most of their money given, it would seem, they have built their reactors at a loss so as to sell, as the CONTRACTED sole provider, the enriched fabricated fuel, which is where they make their billions!?

Imagine how much solid fuel fabrication there would be if one ton of liquefied fuel could replace around 2550 tons of enriched fabricated fuel and the reason for the prohibition order on MSR thorium becomes apparent.

Particularly with the former being as rare as platinum and the latter as abundant and common as lead

. It's just not fake news we need to be concerned over, but the deliberate official suppression of inconvenient factual information be it thorium or collusion with the Russians?

Or denial of important public figure information, if validated, would render them completely unsuitable for the office, i.e., paedophile priests/immoral sex offending Judges etc-etc.

Gee whiz, Thomas.

Do you mean that after decades of left wing domination of the media, where violence and criminal behaviour by immigrants was downplayed, or not mentioned at all? Where the left wing dominated media claimed that Muslim terrorism committed by Muslims screaming "Allahu akbar!" had nothing to do with Islam? Where problems associated with multiculturalism are hardly mentioned, or excused away? Where photographs of drowned immigrant children are given the page one treatment, but where adolescent white girls blown to pieces by bombs planted by "refugees" are never shown at all? Where we got nothing but disinformation on everything associated with the negative social consequences of third world immigration into western countries?

And now the Left is whining because the Right has learned from your tactics, and is turning the table on you?

But at least the Left does not have to put up with official government repression, or "progressive" corporations like Facebook and Google censoring their online articles.

Look, Thomas. Socialism has never worked. The idea of a borderless world is insanity. People are not equal. Races are not equal. Cultures are not equal. Your ideology is not the thinking of intelligent people, no matter how much your lefty leaders try to present it to you as being just that. It is the ideology of naive and easy to con idiots. And you know what, Thomas? The smart university types, the ones doing STEM courses, are starting to figure that out. Your ideology survives by group think and the fashionable belief that always sneering at your own race and culture is what "smart" people do. It can only deal with it's glaring contradictions and misrepresentations through the suppression of free speech. That is why the Left is so desperate to shut up their opponents and control the media, and the narrative. And you are doing your bit to help them.

Is Mr Klikauer really suggesting that the right is starting to catch up with the left in using spin lies, half truths, & full blown propaganda, & presenting the whole filthy result as news?

Wow that would be an achievement, but unlikely. The left have so much practice at it, & it goes naturally with their nature & world view.

I'm not sure I'd call Murdoch left-wing, Hasbeen.
