Miranda Devine’s clash with Andrew Bolt shows how fickle the approval of the boys’ club is
I’ve always been perplexed by the fervour with which some women rush to denounce feminism and the people who practise it. Clemintine Ford
Defenders of free speech must damn Pickering
Defenders of free speech have a special
responsibility to damn cartoonist Larry Pickering for his despicable
slurs of gays and Muslims. And shame on all the conservatives who did
not howl him down when he said the one good thing about Muslims was
"they do chuck pillow-biters off buildings".
Trump and Bolt on free speech. Shhh, Don't mention "power" In 2014 the Australian High Court issued a blanket media gag order on the reporting of a high profile international corruption case.[63][64] The gag order prevents the publishing of articles regarding bribes presented to high-ranking officials of Malaysia, Indonesia and Vietnam by senior executives of the Reserve Bank of Australia in order to secure the adoption of the Australian invented and produced polymer banknote technology.
Derryn Hinch was jailed for freedom of speech and Andrew Bolt was silent.
The White House Is Gaslighting The Media (And The Entire Country)
DAYANITA RAMESH & JOHN KERR
President Donald Trump’s administration is gaslighting America. He lies, reporters fact-check him, then he and his team spin the lies to blame the "biased" and "dishonest" media. Trump's team wants to create a world where no one knows what to believe, where facts and reality are irrelevant, and all that matters is what Trump says matters. Gaslighting reporters is one part of the administration’s war with the press -- just another way for his team to try to make the media's role as truth-tellers obsolete.
And here’s the kicker: It’s not just the Trump administration. It’s also propaganda outlets tied to Trump. They rush to reinforce Trump’s false narratives with his base, which only puts mainstream outlets in a tougher position.
Some journalists, like Teen Vogue's Lauren Duca, have already made it clear they won't fall for Trump's ploy. It's important that the rest of the media learn that same lesson. The future of American democracy depends on journalists, reporters, and everyday Americans rising above Trump’s gaslighting and calling the president out on his lies. It’s not the Trump administration’s place to decide what is true or false or set the frame of reference. In America, that role belongs to the free and fair press.
Reporters Roast Sean Spicer’s Breitbart Interview: “Most Awkward Thing Ever,” “Insanely Cringey”
Spicer Attacks CNN's Multi-Sourced Corroboration Of Dossier On Trump-Russia Ties As "Fake News"
Sean Spicer: “This Is More Fake News. It Is About Time CNN Focused On The Success The President Has Had”
Poll: One Nation backed by 1 in 4 Queensland voters
What's Bolt telling us that the Conservatives have been actively fragmenting the government? Tony Abbott should have left the Liberal Party? If he was leader they would form a coalition? The fact is why should Australia even listen to politicians that make no attempt to solve real problems but make every attempt to create imaginary ones. What we do see however the mobilization of the global conservative media network manufacturing political issues to help install governments obliged to serve them and the private interests they are paid to represent. Hanson would be nowhere today without the Courier Mail
Greens eat their own
No surprise that the Greens can't be trusted even with their own finances. More interesting is that they're leaking against each other: "The finances of the NSW Greens 'cannot really be described as anything short of disastrous from a financial management/compliance perspective', according to internal documents..."Susan Ley did nothing and Bronwyn Bishop was poorly treated?
