Sky News' Murray, Dean, and Kenny had no trouble trouble depicting Albanese as the newly crowned Opposition leader until 2025 while waiting for the new PM to be named. Hopefully as predicted by Michael Kroger to be the LNP's most brilliant political tactician Peter Dutton.
Meanwhile Harvey Norman promised to keep spending the money given him by Josh Frydenberg on advertising with News Corp that he will continue to sell white goods to anyone no matter their politics
Why the Murdochs should become the next Sacklers.
News Corp crowned Anthony Albanese the leader of the Opposition yet again while Harvey Norman advertised his Democracy. He will continue to sell to all Australians.
Yet straight faced, in the wake of a progressive election triumph, they
have still managed to ignore the fact that they, the Coalition’s media
campaigners, are part of the problem, not the solution. Cunningly, the
SMH and Age read the writing on the wall and switched to balanced
coverage in the back end of the campaign. Not so News Corp.

The most stupid was the mouth that was never there. Andrew Bolt put
the verbal boot into, not the ALP, but Scott Morrison wishing he was
more of a Blair Cotteral than a real leader someone who inspires dogs to
really fight. One thing is obvious though had the LNP followed Andrew
Bolt’s advice they would have been totally obliterated.
Now Sky News after Dark is back calling for a more divided Australia
and doing what the worst of the Republicans are doing in America. Now
that’s an original idea for them isn’t it? What is little Matthew Guy
going to do now ?
And news reporters on Sky News maintained
standards on interviewing during the day, although the commentary
cohort known as Sky After Dark made little attempt at balance.
But there was a constant rollout of the
opinion panjandrums of the News Corp titles tut-tutting uninterrupted
over the menace they saw, not just of a Labor government but all those
female independents. Some big name writers should worry they look rather
silly.
All legacy media might worry as well.
One aspect of the election campaign,
anecdotally at least, was that voters knew what they wanted in news and
opinion and were open to fresh avenues of information.
They watched press conferences live on
the ABC or Sky News, or as they were livestreamed from online sites.
Many younger voters didn’t need the newspapers their parents relied on.
The Greens even advertised on Grindr.
