News Corporation employs Right-Wing Broadcasters providing them with a platform ensuring the inequality of speech. Their Social Media Platforms not only advocate conservative, and extreme right-wing wing views. They monitor out most opposing opinions which they are entitled to do. However, they also simply lie when they say they provide an arena for fair and balanced discussion in a no-spin zone. They don't it's all spin.

Fighting Fake News with REAL 26/8 22; Workforce, Bargaining, Sally McManus, Peter Dutton, Defamation, Murdochs,
Peter Dutton simply says " Don't look back. Don't dwell on the past" just roll on blindly into the short term future the way the LNP did.
Figures published by the Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS) show that, since 1959, the compensation of employees as a share of the nation's GDP has never been lower...
... Both compensation of employees and the wages share of total factor income "show the labour share around the lowest it has been since the quarterly data started in the late 1950s", Dr Hawkins noted.…
In an LNP economy individuals
aren't a threat they can be manipulated and kept on a tight leash. Any
form of unionising or sector bargaining is a threat to keeping workers
in debt and under foot.
“(The system) is just not delivering that strong responsible
sustainable wages growth that we need to see, which has been absent from
our economy for the best of the decade,” he told ABC Radio on
Thursday.“
We’re not naive about this issue being contentious.”
Dr Chalmers said working Australians had gone backwards under
the current enterprise bargaining system while businesses were
recording large profits.
Recently released Australian Bureau of Statistics data for
the June quarter showed pay packets were falling behind the rising cost
of living.
The business community has broadly opposed the multi-employer bargaining proposal.
“Frankly I would not have given Crikey this platform, they’re
milking it for all its worth, they’re putting ads everywhere. I wouldn’t
give this rubbish thing of Eric Beecher’s a platform, or taken the risk
of going up against an activist judge,” said Bolt, adding “if you’re on
the right, an activist judge [is] gonna slot you if they can.” Andrew Bolt
AndrewBolt, however, spent hours and hours giving extreme right radicals a platform on his show. One Blair Cotteral in fact was the hero of and gave the Australian shooter of 5i Muslims in Christchurch the inspiration for his actions.
What Bolt would or wouldn't do is amusing when he talks to, his little more than 50,000 Australian, viewers each week. He classifies this a 200k plus viewers but given they are much the same viewers each night he has a very thin reach in deed. When one considers the number who disagree and oppose and monitor him and the others on Sky News After Dark he might be lucky to have have 25K supporting viewers a week.
Knives out for the Murdochs and Fox News. (Bernard Keane and Crikey)
“Birtherism. The caravan invasion. COVID denialism. Rampant election fraud. All of these found a comfortable home at Fox,” says Margaret Sullivan at The Washington Post. “Fox hosts continue to push the Big Lie about the election, attempt to whitewash the January 6 attack on the Capitol,” says Charles Sykes at Politico. There’s no shortage of critical reporting on Fox News and the Murdochs.
