Fighting Fake News with REAL 17/6/20; Scotty the Marketeer's new "Task Force of Disinformation"; Throwing the fuel of denial on BLM; Australia's Shame and the Media;

 This is beyond a joke. You couldn't get more disinformation peddled by the united front peddling bullshit than the cabal of the LNP/IPA/and Murdoch media. Now with Ch9's takeover of Fairfax all of private MSM media. Their business model dictates they chase the money held by the interests of 1% of Australia and work as PR agents on their behalf. For over a decade this cabal has set it's sights on the politics of division in this country raising Islamophobia African criminality and now Sinophobia to a fever pitch to the extent of being enablers of violence against Australian diversity.

The LNP's dirt brigade has been working full tilt boogie since the issue of asylum seekers became politically expedient. Abbott became leader of the opposition and put his foot on the accelerator and it has never stopped. You could say that triuvariate has been spreading disinformation since before the turn of this century standing shoulder to shoulder with Rupert Murdoch to achieve the 75 point shopping list of wants of the IPA.

"Social media may also be used by foreign state actors to sow distrust and division in the Australian community or to shape community perceptions about the governing regime of the foreign state in a manner in which their involvement is not readily apparent," the Department's submission reads.

The Murdoch media is in a moral panic about the one cultural war it didn't start

News Corp (and some of its traditional rivals) is in a tailspin over recent anti-racist protests. Once again, old media is showing its age.

“Something is happening, but you don’t know what it is, do you, Mr Jones?” Nobel laureate Bob Dylan warned journalists half a century ago in “Ballad of a Thin Man”.

Australia risks being locked out of the robust interchange around racism and the legacy of colonialism that is seeing a reset in the world’s cultural understanding. On Sunday The Australian’s political correspondent used Insiders to gloss over a distinction between “blackbirding” and slavery, while a News Corp tabloid op-ed argued (in the 21st century!) that Indigenous (and African-American) disadvantage was really their own fault.

Andrew Bolt couldn't have been more clearer in saying Aboriginals have nobody but themselves to blame for their incarceration and they deserve it.

At the same time, new media are showing better ways of reporting. Junkee exposed Insiders diversity problem, while both The Guardian and the long-diverse SBS rebutted Morrison’s gaffe that there was no slavery in Australia’s history.
Sunday’s Insiders demonstrated how diversity brings better journalism at the same time as it showed the flaws in the ABC’s affirmative action for News Corp.
