Hasbeen,

"Privatised".

Oh goody....just imagine it being filled to brim with soaps and commercials and mindless garbage like the the other free-to-air stations.

Wonderful!

Lexi,

Newscorp has made no secret that it is supporting the coalition, just as it made no secret that it was supporting Labor in 2007.

To be fair, over the last few years, every time any newspaper has uncovered Labor skulduggery, while completely unable to refute the facts, labor has openly attacked Newscorp, culminating in an attempt to ram through some of the most oppressive legislation against free speech seen in the free world.

Notably I see nothing from you about the blatant bias of the ABC.

Come on Poirot, nothing could be worse than the wall to wall lefty/green propaganda.

It wouldn't even be so bad if they did it well, but their propaganda is as transparent as a 3 year olds lying. In fact many 3 year olds can produce something more sophisticated than our billion dollar ABC can come up with. Most of their stuff is cringe worthy.

Lexi,
A couple of weeks ago you posted a thread about a Republic, remember?

When I questioned your motive for doing so, You said I was wrong and that you were 'passed politics'.

I see you are back in the thick of politics. How convenient!

It is one thing for newspapers to unearth skulduggery, and in fact is what they should be doing, but quite another to influence so greatly the way people should vote with headlines reading "Vote this Mob Out" and similar. Whether you are a LNP, ALP, Nationals or any other party this type of media influence is well beyond the ethics and charter of journalism.

If the reverse was true supporters of the LNP would be just as horrified at the lack of ethics. This topic is more important than which team you vote for, it is about democratic processes and a fair and balanced media. Even if people from either side of politics reap the benefits of this perversion of media at various times they should be ashamed of their defence of it.

SM, Hasbeen,

Murdoch is spitting on democracy.

So much for "ethics".

I see he has your support.
