A lot of it yes. But, I tuned out by the end, the moment I realised they didn’t even identify media bias.
It comes down to ONP doing what MAGA did in US. Flooding the zone. Like, news stations are giving people like Pauline an unreasonable amount of airtime. And Facebook is designed to promote ragebait which ONP uses.
It really is just THAT simple. Nobody can hear them, because Pauline is shouting over everyone. Even stupid bullshit like the poster thing, she was given plenty of airtime to blame police, and pretend like she was in danger, without the other side of the story (that it was a poster). They give more attention to the shooters parties than Greens (despite Greens having more seats)
That’s an example of the problem. If Greens got a new plane, I guarantee Sky news and all the murdoch media would attack them instead. In fact, any time people like Albo get on a plane, they start attacking “greenies”
Murdoch media is doing things like presenting interfering with war criminal cases as a good thing, and will NEVER give airtime to people like the greens. And, unless the greens compromise their values, they won’t get that airtime.
Ask yourself, when has the Australian or Sky News even mentioned the policies of the greens? They sure have every shitty right wing party
The only thing that has changed is that Murdoch recently started pushing ONP more, instead of Libs/Nats.
Thanks for explaining, sorry that I was rude, I just assumed it was a comment replying to a headline.
And you’re absolutely right that most of the news stations are promoting ONP. They also manufacture outrage events like “Pauline talks to [controversial person] in a podcast”. There is institutional media bias and the article barely even mentioned it: “The review pointed to “minimal media oxygen” and a fragmented audience as barriers to getting their message across.”, that’s the only time they even glanced at the mass media situation.
What can people do to counter this? It seems to me like the most effective approach is to bring people away from Murdoch/Silicon Valley/etc. mass media, or at least to inoculate them against the ads and bleaching that ultraweathy-owned media will push. It might be easier for centrists with progressive interests (e.g. queer folk might be interested in queer publications, environmentalists might be interested in pro-environmental media outlets) but for the bulk of people, it seems ABC and The Guardian might be the most acceptable mainstream publications.
Perhaps it could be useful to have some infographic resources to illustrate just how biased each of the right-leaning resources are. Not just some ‘biaschecker.com’ thing, but specific examples and statistics showing those advertisments. I wonder if the ABC Media Watch has done something like that…
Because you have Murdoch controlling most of the media and other people like Gina buying a lot of it too
That being said, I suspect a huge amount of the people on Facebook look like bots, and I think most Australians won’t be voting onp.
The only thing that has changed in the past year is that they’ve said they’ll win. But, don’t forget they’ve been losing 3 decades of elections
Have you read the article you’re commenting on?

You tell me if this shit is journalism, or an advert: https://www.theaustralian.com.au/news/pauline-hanson-reveals-new-plane/video/eaee05b10463865e0cd49f2e0b0427e8
