Most people these days don't know that the final solution described the attempt to wipe out Jews. Most people don't learn a damn thing after they leave school and, increasingly, they don't learn much AT school other than what their communist teachers brainwash them with. Anything they do pick up - mainly by accident - is from mainstream media specialising in fake news. The media no longer reports, it lectures. The ignorant garbage they talk about Donald Trump is evidence of this; the media is disgustingly anti- Trump, and they have brainwashed the ignoramuses into believing what they believe - particularly our appalling politicians. Pauline Hanson would not be the only political dropkick who didn't understand what the final solution was. The absolute rubbish spouted by Leftist politicians, including Malcolm Turnbull, after Anning’s speech was proof of that.

unfortunately the schools and unis have dumbed down people so much that they believe the likes of the abc/Guardian as if their reporting was factual. Socialism requires demonising, shutting down debate and using pseudo science and never asking the obvious question. A good example was 730 report last night that repeatedly pointed out high murder rate in Detroit among young blacks. Of course no one would ever consider that the murderers are almost exclusively blacks. That would be racist to point this out.

The senator's utterances were loaded with a term every boy and his dog knew, applied to the extermination/genocide of over 6 million Jews!

EVERY BOY AND HIS DOG!

And correctly denounced by Senator Hasen as straight out of Gobell's handbook?

Who apparently is credited with the view if you tell a big enough lie? People will believe it' true? Given most decent folk believe nobody could tell such outrageous lies and therefore had to be true?

Moreover, it's said, if a lie is repeated often enough, even the perpetrators of this propaganda, ill begin to believe their own lies! Be it a flat earth or that GW is just a scam to extract revenue?

Senator who in parliament, with just 19 votes? Needed something to get some public profile and did just that by appealing to the very worst among us.

And the "Final Solution" did exactly that!

Spin it any which way or try and justify that tactic by implying some alleged connection to fake news won't change that!

It may, however, give some comfort to the xenophobes and extreme right-wing, white supremacists and Nazis among us who have always agreed with Senator who?

Completely unacceptable empathy-free, inhumane sentiments!

And needed to be called out by every decent civilised human being. Rather than be excused by this or that diabolically disingenuous diatribe or calculated clever spin?

Fake news is a new term describing news with an ideological slant. Often the term is justified. But it's a dangerous practice. Journalists should stop exaggerating their views through sloppy reporting.

Journalism is under huge pressure. The pressure is from the changing face of news delivery, causing a temptation to exaggerate for attention. There are less jobs in the industry as print media falls in a heap, and news reporting heads for the hills of the internet. Direct advertising through news sources has transferred to digital platforms outside the industry, reducing traditional revenue streams.

Digital platforms are causing the most anxiety to journalism; and to governments introducing more strict security legislation and tighter controls on news outlets, through court suppression orders, and outright attacks on the journalists freedom to report the news.
Constantly chiming the devil of fake news, (and of course, delivering fake news), is actually an attack on legitimate journalism. The danger of this current trend in news reporting, is to hamper access to freedom of information to us all, and is a real one.

I give everyone the right to make mistakes or even be mis-inturpreted.
In Annings case, there is no doubt he was describing anything but a 'final solution'.
It is the work of the left and those who needed a lift in their ratings and political standing, that came out giving all kinds of 'fake' responses to a nothing comment.
If those of you cannot reckognise a sick opportunist when you see one, like those idiots who came out bagging him, than please don't comment.
He is not as stupid as those who contend he actually, deliberately said the words, 'final solution', to bag the Jews.
Really?
You are so limited in intellect, and so prejudiced and bias towards the man, you actually believe him to be just as bad as yourself, or worse.
People, this stops here and now!
He used the words to describe the exact point he was trying to make.
Let me assure you, gassing Jews was nowhere near the point he was trying to make.
So for those of you who stupidly believe he is actually anti Semitic, and even more stupidly believe he would even hint it in his speech, let alone highlight it as a point in his speech, you are truly disturbed people.
He's OK, he's not another lying, deceitful clown like the rest of em'.
