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, 2/9/22; Saul Goodman, Morrison and Trump; The world is kinda Fascist; The LNP Corporatised Education but look at the product they sell!
Is Morrison Saul Goodman?
Murdoch's Chump Down Under?
He's playing the victim. "As PM and did I did nothing wrong"
He's set up a global one man media company that's bound to fail
Trump has burned so many bridges that it is hard to see how
he could ever quietly work out such a deal with the Justice Department.
As much as some Truth Social users say they love the platform, the
reality is there just aren’t very many of them. While the platform has
been busy since the FBI raid on Mar-a-Lago, with Trump using it to
blast out angry messages (and repost
QAnon propaganda), it simply isn’t a thriving site. There are huge
problems with content moderation, with both accusations that the company
uses the same “shadow-banning” tactics that Trump derided Twitter for allegedly using against conservatives (the company denies it does any type of shadow-banning) and huge quantities of violent content
being posted freely. In fact, the platform’s problems moderating all
that violent content led to Google saying Tuesday that it would continue to exclude TruthSocial from its app store.
My tweet about Ron DeSantis provoked outrage in rightwing
media – perhaps it hit the nerve of the fascism now taking root in the
Republican party?
Fascism also includes hatred of “them” (people considered different by
race or religion, or outside the mainstream, or who were born abroad),
control over what people learn and what books they are allowed to read,
control over what had been independent government units (school boards,
medical boards, universities and so on), control over women and the most
intimate and difficult decisions they’ll ever make, and demands that
the private sector support the regime.
Florida governor Ron DeSantis’s new election cops are locking
up the state’s citizens for trying to exercise their most basic
political right, the right to vote — all to impress the Extremely Online
right.
May, Russian forces occupying the village told residents that
a corridor had been opened to Ukrainian-controlled territory. Nataliya
and others boarded a bus that they were told was headed to Kharkiv. But
when the bus stopped, she realized they were in Shebekino, a city just
across the border.
“I suddenly realized that we were in Russia,” Nataliya told
human rights investigators. “We didn’t even go through a border
crossing.”
We saw the LNP Corporatise Education Abbott's effort to make universities centers for Climate denial and confusion for a $4M bribe was childs play. The LNP bribed campuses with their specialist conservative degrees in Western Culture and education boxed at a price for profit.The truth, universities began aggresively selling debt globally and domestically with the vague but false promise of jobs and benefits attached. They were delivering degrees of lesser quality in the cheapest and most profitable way.
Degrees weren't good enough you needed a double degree, a Masters or Phd and a side hustle of working cheap paying casual jobs to pay for it. Degrees for seniors who'd lost their jobs and needed to do something else like teach. The problem however was you still needed to be a White Christian Male with contacts who was still more important than what you knew but the University sure as hell made money and alumni not insignificant debt.
Australian universities have banked billions in profits despite the pandemic, with the elite Group of Eight making $6.2 bn.
In a textbook example of how Australia’s
corporatised universities are singularly focused on revenues (and now,
it seems, profits) at the expense, critics argue, of learning, UNSW recorded the highest number of staff cuts of any university in the country,
employing 726 fewer full-time jobs in 2021 than in the previous year.
Its profit lifted to $305 million. The university has also been accused of underpaying casual staff up to $36 million by an independent auditor.
