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 31/8/22; Truth in Humor; Putin's soldiers shoot themselves; Susan Ley shoots herself;
UPDATE
RUMOR HAS IT
If it’s true that the three most powerful people in the
government met with Lachlan Murdoch on Wednesday, what does that say
about lobbying and influence in Australia?
Slaughter on Batman Avenue: Victoria gets election result three months early – Michael West
If the Victorian election were a boxing match, the ref would
have stopped the fight. Except that the election isn’t until November
26.
The fact that Melburnians suffered one of the world’s longest
lockdowns under Covid won’t be enough to stop Premier Daniel Andrews
gaining a third term.
Last weekend Andrews basked in the favourable publicity
generated by his announcement of free university places for nursing
students. As feelgood stories go, this was a ripper. Meanwhile The
Weekend Australian proclaimed on its front page: ”The Andrews era to
live on”. The paper’s Newspoll gave Labor a lead of 56-44 (two-party
preferred) over the Coalition led by Matthew Guy.
The Liberals live in a world of pain caused by an internal
scandal that has overshadowed Labor’s own internal scandals. Under Guy
they ceded the plumb seat of Hawthorn in 2018, and now another
stronghold, Kew, is likely to fall to a Teal independent.
Guess Matt Guy has a role model to follow after November
Trump calls for him to be declared the winner of the 2020 election and be reinstalled as president, or for there to be an immediate do-over of the presidential election.
Putin’s failures exposed by the men forced to fight his war
paratrooper, 34-year-old Pavel Filatyev – a professional soldier from a military family – published a 141-page account of his two months in Russia’s 56th Guards Air Assault Regiment at the outset of the invasion of Ukraine.
His commander is seldom seen. The regiment’s trucks have no
working brakes. The overcrowding of the field hospital is solved with an
order that no more casualties will be accepted.
Filatyev describes his regiment as being in a state of
anarchy. Eventually, men start shooting themselves to be allowed to
leave the front.
