News Corp the Monsanto of Media

The current united corporate defence by Australia's most consistent race -baiters Murdoch's News Corp is a disgrace but expected.If any other commercial corporation attempted to do the same their business would be shut down quite easily but not so this media beamoth,why? News Corp creates the very enviroment on which it flourishes with it's provocative headlines and soundbytes and we allow them to. The only way to fight back is boycott as there is no opposing competing voice of eqivalent size or concentration. However turn off the fuel on which it feeds money and the darkness will disappear..
News Corp feeds us the illusion of threat and hate in the hope for another Cronulla 2005 to then feed us more of the same. It's the media version of the wall of sound a wall of percieved darkness using the constant drumbeat of sound bytes and headlines doing it for dollars and cents hoping for some pushback real or imaginary to continue moving forward and growing. The young, powerless react whether born here or not doesn't matter because News Corp controls the story. In fact they don't even have to do anything and News Corp still controls the story. It's not new but it's bigger and more concentrated than ever before. News Corp's search to dominate creates it's own news and the associated false narrative that influences others generally MP's who use it.
There is no equivalent opposition to this corporate machine and the only power available to stop it is to starve it of the fuel it needs and wants to exist money. Boycott removes it's oxygen. Individual staff, advertisers, government and the consumers can boycott the beast that's so alien to the spirit of Multicultural, Multiracial, Australia.(ODT)
News Corp Australia marshalled its troops on Thursday after the pesky Labor government in Victoria banned Sky News from metro railway platforms following the appearance of far-right extremist Blair Cottrell on the network. Sky News devoted much airtime to expressing its furious disagreement with the decision, based mainly on the fact that the Cottrell interview was never shown on the railway platforms.
In a stunning display of solidarity with Sky, Rupert Murdoch’s print organs fell into line, accusing the government of “Stalinist” tactics and “retrograde socialist-style censorship”.
The Herald Sun, being the hometown paper of the Victorian metro railway ban, devoted its front page, opinion page and editorial to the story, skewering Allan for muddling her answers in an interview on Sky.
Battered by boycotts, will Sky News now ditch its right-wing formula?
The question remains what damage does this blind chase for dollars do to social cohesion when a corporation is bent on portraying the world no the nation we live in such negative terms simply to improve their bottom line. It's like watching a game of cricket where one side threw away the rule book and simply came out with knuckle dusters encouraging the audience to join in. Because the ultimate prize was even bigger than simply witnessing that. Where that prize was agreed to behind locked doors. Murdoch's in town (ODT)
Media analyst Steve Allen, of Fusion Strategy, believes Sky's right-wing brand makes commercial sense. "They have to fight harder at nighttime because free-to-air networks take the lion's share of viewers," he says. "Unless you're to the right of what's being offered, you're not going to get an audience." There's no point targeting progressives, Allen adds, because they're likely to be younger, with less money to spend on Foxtel subscriptions – and many are loyal to the ABC.
Anchors David Speers and Laura Jayes criticised their employer on Twitter while commentator Craig Emerson quit in disgust. American Express, Huggies and Specsavers pulled their ads. And Victorian transport minister Jacinta Allan ordered Sky’s removal from Melbourne train platforms (though commuters only saw its news and weather bulletins, not its commentary).
Of course, Sky is no stranger to controversy. Since adopting its “right at night” strategy – replacing news with conservative opinion in prime time – it’s endured public criticism, bitter in-fighting and dramatic staff departures. One wag suggests Foxtel could edit these highlights into a reality show: The Real Housewives of Sky News.
US Editorials called the Polish immigrant Grandparents of Laura Ingraham 'Undesirables'
The Global Goose Step of Murdoch Media. Is Laura Ingraham really Andrew Bolt? One hand but aren't all the fingers meant to be different? Not at Murdoch Media, it's a closed fist (ODT)Professional bigot Laura Ingraham, ensconced in the primo 10 pm slot at Fox Cable News, has delivered herself of one of her typical Know-Nothing pronouncements on immigration to the US.
Here are 52 examples of Laura Ingraham’s racism
Where the Sky News, Australian right and Andrew Bolt get their formulaic Racist Bigotry from the American Fox News desk. This what they attribute as their News and Opinion. They don't win awards so they have their own Award Show. Wake up Australia (ODT)
- She claimed that children torn from their parents as a result of the Trump administration policies and who were not yet reunited with their families were being protected by the administration because, “due to domestic or drug abuse, many of these parents are now deemed unfit to care for their children or dangerous for their children.”......Bolt's claim of "no Stolen Generation"
- During a 2013 appearance on the now-defunct Fox show The O’Reilly Factor, Ingraham claimed that a lot of recent immigrants “have wreaked havoc upon communities.”............Bolt's Claims against Africans and Muslims
- During a 2013 appearance on the now-defunct Fox show The O’Reilly Factor, Ingraham claimed that a lot of recent immigrants “have wreaked havoc upon communities.”..... Bolt's hounding African's Lebanese and others.
- Ingraham blamed Muslim and Latino immigrants for Republicans losing elections in Virginia and added, “It will become increasingly difficult, for sure, for Republicans to win if Republicans don't get a handle on immigration...Immigration always favours Labour
- She was an early defender of the idea of a “Muslim ban” and suggested that Trump’s proposal “isn’t broad enough.” She claimed that she would “go further” and “do a pause on all immigration.”......Bolt's call as well
HOW DOES JACINTA PRICE STAY STRONG AGAINST THIS HATE?
They do "welcome to country" ceremonies or dance for the Governor General. They preach for reconciliation. But to Jacinta Price they show complete savagery and misogyny - threats, wishes for her death and rape fantasies so vile that I cannot repeat them. Why do some of these men still get government gigs? I name them. WARNING: FOUL LANGUAGE ALERT
"The misogyny of these blaktivists is clear. The licence to hatred given by their cause is also clear.
I want to see if the women's movement and crusaders such as Clementine Ford will now speak up against this shocking abuse and intimidation as they'd do if the target was a woman of the Left.
Principle or side?"Bolt
"For everyone else, please appreciate Price's courage. She is now running for Parliament, and I urge you to give her your support."Bolt
