Honestly, these two deserve one another. This is from Crikey, the single most activitist “yes” masthead in Australia:
News Corp Australia’s coverage of the First Nations Voice to Parliament referendum is “heavily biased biased in favour of the No campaign”, an analysis of the company’s publications in the last few weeks has found.
Of the News Corp content containing arguments either for or against the Voice, 70% of the arguments were for the No side, compared with 30% for the Yes side.
The analysis – carried out by University of Adelaide researchers on behalf of a group, chaired by ex-prime minister Malcolm Turnbull, which is advocating for a royal commission into News Corp – found the outlet’s opinion commentators were far less balanced than its reporters.
That it has not occurred to the fake left that this story is biased tells us everything we need to know about emerging media in general.
Why is the research only examining News Corp? Crikey, The Guardian, ABC, Nine, Independent Australia, Mandarain, The Saturday Paper, The Monthly (and, for that matter, MacroBusiness) have all been actively campaigning for the Voice.
Moreover, the study admits that the “bias” at News Corp is in the opinion pages. That isn’t bias. It is opinion. Capturing the masthead’s point of view.
Compared with the outright bias shown by the fake left media, which actively censors the winning ‘no’ arguments, Newscorp is positively objective.
This (im)balance is repeated across the pantheon of social issues sacred to the fake left: immigration, sexuality, race, etc.
Crikey is the worst. I am yet to see one negative article about the Voice. Its opinion is abusive and extreme in characterising anybody voting ‘no’ as a racist. That is 100% bias.
News Corp is unquestionably partisan. It is fake right media, promulgating the interests of Murdoch while pretending to care about things like liberalism, markets and freedom.
But the rest of the media is just as phony. The fake left pretends to care about the vulnerable while fixating upon social issues that are unimportant to 99% of Australians whose living standards are collapsing. Then, it blames the majority for being angry about being ignored.
Last week, I attended a primary school assembly and watched as a child was given a special award for lurking outside the toilets, to rapturous applause.
That’s what happened to these young fake left journos at school. Their mental dross was celebrated by an education regime that cookie-cuts corporate robots with empty mantras of respect, resilience, and integrity (over truth, argument and inquiry).
Now, such brainwashing controls the majority of the national conversation.
