Fighting Fake news with REAL 15/7/22 Disunity in their Ranks; Health only if you have the money to buy it;

 

 

Wall Street Journal

Murdoch Media has set the lowest global standard for media in the English-speaking world. Yet again, the Little Digger shames Australia, showing just how low his ethical standards are. Murdoch developed his skills in Australia, fled the UK in shame, and near imprisonment to set up his dirtbag media business in the US. Only to reveal just what a scumbag he really is. He's single highhandedly helped Trump and the Republicans destroy the Great American experiment in Democracy which has been in existence for over 400 years.

With its recent commentaries on a terrible rape case in Ohio, The Wall Street Journal’s editorial board has demonstrated yet again that it exists simply to put a seemingly respectable face on the most disgusting vitriol from right-wing political circles.

So where now for the Right?

We are witnessing a monumental disconnect among those who define themselves as of the Right.

A stark example is the discombobulation of members of the Conservative Party of the UK, who abandoned former Prime Minister Boris Johnson in droves, suggesting the British Right has lost all faith in its philosophy.

The same is true of the Liberal Party of Australia, which, to a casual observer, appears devoid of political relevance.

Distinctly political the Medical Board of Australia has turned its back on science and turned to strong-arm tactics to silence any opposition to their political interests alone. Surely their aggression would be better directed at Murdoch Media and others than trying to bring to task a member who makes reasonable sense.

If we have learnt nothing else in the last two years, it is that public health is inextricably a political process. It is utterly outrageous that the Medical Board of Australia seems intent on trying to silence one side of this debate to protect the powerful.

Even if you are lucky enough to live in a wealthy country, one of the biggest influences on your health and life expectancy will be your socioeconomic status.
