Dear Steele,

News Corp has posted enormous losses in its revenue
not only in the US, Australia, and UK newspapers as
a result of its businesses suffering a sharp decline.
But its Foxtel pay TV business in Australia bleeding
subscribers new financial results for 2019-2020 show.

Dear Chris Lewis,

Of course it doesn't help. Define good? Good quality journalism? Good in terms of balance? Good in terms of lack of bias? Well the Murdoch papers do not reflect that kind of good at all.

What they have typically engaged in is tabloid even gutter press which has by its nature attracted readers, then they engaged in predatory pricing to force competitors out of markets like Brisbane, then if that failed they simply bought out their competitors to create monopolies.

How has our democracy been served by the above?

Our democracy is served by many media players (old and new).

For the minority of Australians that are truly interested in current affairs, there are many media sources without the need to ever take notice of the Murdoch influence.

That is my opinion, but others may disagree.

SBS is biased in their News reporting as they tell only part of a story that suits their "Doing things a little different", to appeal to those opposed to Western values. I have watched full eye witness accounts showing the footage of a news item, but SBS only show clips of an incident that skews the conclusion the commentator wants. They play the race card or the gender card in reporting, check the emotive trigger words.

There are some programmes on ABC that should be scrapped, especially commentary interviews. ABC 24 is more reliable news, as is Fox 84 for news.

So it is the fact that Rudd and Turnbull want to stop some media questioning Human caused Climate Change is their real agenda. They only want their views presented as fact, and cannot accept the science is not absolutely settled as fact. Many leading Climate scientists question the opinions of other Climate scientists. But this in Rudd and Turnbull's opinion must be silenced.

I really don't know anymore as to who is more dumb, the likes of Rudd or their supporters ?
All I can say, the indoctrination facilities are beginning to feed on themselves !
