Does Morrison "sound out" Rupert Murdoch before important cabinet decisions are made? it is claimed Tony Abbott liked to have the ear of Murdoch in that regard, and get the old mans feelings on important matters. Malcolm Turnbull claims that was one of his sins, he didn't consult with Murdoch enough before making announcements.

Shadow Minister,

News Corp is not laughing. Over 100 of News Corp
regional and community titles will no longer
produce print editions. 14 titles have ceased to exist.
Over 500 jog losses. Consumers are leaving in droves.
Their revenue has fallen in this country as well as
the US, Uk, et cetera.

Kevin Rudd's Murdoch Media Petition has been tabled in
Parliament - things are taking their course. Murdoch
may own 70% of the media in Australia but that does not
mean that 70% of people continue to support it. And thinking
that they do is not only a joke but delusional.

Foxy,

With the advent of the internet, all print media is suffering. If you bothered to look at the link I provided earlier, the Newscorp papers as a % are suffering far less than the rest.

Notably, Fairfax went bust and was bought out.

Shadow Minister,

Cut the BS. News Corp had posted a $11 billion
loss for the March quarter, dragged down in Australia
by the cable TV business Foxtel which has seen the plug
pulled on its once wealthy sports broadcasting model.
Regional and community papers have been pulled. Job
losses are enormous.

News Corp in Australia is totally challenged. And its
another critical moment for journalism and for ensuring
that politicians, businesses and local government
bodies are properly scrutinised in a COVID-19 world
where the rules are changing by the day.

There is currently a World wide agenda to silence dissenting voices to that of the State. They thought they could do it through reeducation and social programming but it failed because of influence of freedom of expression espoused by the Western society. This attempt is led by China on their population and as a world wide movement for One World Government is blinding the world by offering material prosperity and equality. However it is at the expense of the death of personal freedom and administered by physical assault from the State control [e.g. Hong Kong]. The West will move to bring in laws administered by the Elite to silence dissenting voices and reeducate the population, with the agenda to destroy the norms of family and control wealth distribution. That is why this Bill is being proposed and handled by the Left. This is part of the Great Reset of Nations begun by Covid-19, which began from China.

Foxy,

You should check the facts first. The losses were 1.1bn, not 11bn.

Secondly, check the losses from every other media source. Not one other privately owned news organisation has faired better.
