Privatised Corporate Media has become the business of “creating and not reporting news”. Facts and their verification fail to even begin to be required in favor of imagination. Profit is the goal and ratings the means to achieve it in a market where the money larely flows from a minority at the top down and not from the majority at the bottom up. Peter Costello has pivoted Ch9 to the Murdoch’s business model to hopefully attract a larger portion of that cash flow from the usual suspects. Red Alert is just an example of new and normalised sensationalism and propaganda sold to us as news.
The backlash over Nine Entertainment’s “Reds Under the Beds” campaign continues as they defend their stories by pointing to “panel of experts”. Who are these experts?

One could argue the origins of the Private (Pirate) Corporate Structure began with the establishment of the EIC East India Company in the 16th century that eventually almost went bankrupt until it was bailed out by the British Government in the 18th when 40% of it's ministers held shares in it and were all rapidly going under along with the nation itself it's primary lender. The EIC had for intent and purpose been Britains golden goose looting of the wealth of India that once controlled 33% of the world's trade. They turned the world's wealthiest nation it into a basket case from their small office in Levendon St London.
Much the same could be said of the multinational corporations today who loot the wealth of Australia and pay no tax in return. Adani comes to mind along with the list of others subsidized by us. When push comes to shove it's ordinary Australians that pay for their privilige. Its amazing just how many of our elected MPs go on to work as lobbyists for these robber baron corporations whose primary value is to grab as much profit as possible for the least cost.
Public relations is at the core of coal and gas industry influence which has governments actually incentivising the burning of the planet. Grant Ennis, who has just released the book Dark PR, explores how corporate disinformation campaigns allow this to happen.

A Multiculturalist economic conservative with massive investments in America and New York, what's so surprising? Pratt's supported the President of America and he still supports the President of America.
The Age is showing it's racist colors suggesting Pratt has changed in some way. In as much as Australians are concerned he's an ordinary Aussie unlike Andrew Bolt and the those who blame First Nations peoples for their dysfunction. Pratt's also Jewish and understands the history of persecution. He's likely to be ambivalent to the current state of Israel at the moment and not a great supporter of Netanyahu or the radically conservative rabbis supporting the Colonisation of the West Bank, the settler invasion and their genocidal call. It makes Anthony Pratt a human and The Age seem the exception suggesting somehow Pratt has jumped the gutter.

Australia’s American Ambassador Kevin Rudd is being quoted
“Murdoch is not just a news organisation. Murdoch operates as a political party, acting in pursuit of clearly defined commercial interests, in addition to his far-right ideological world view.”
