Who's afraid of Rupert Murdoch? The end of an era.

Weak campaigners

Good point .....
I suppose once Higgins started hanging around lefties like Grace Tame and Lisa Wilkinson and criticising the government it was default liberal attack mode after that. Lehmann was just convenient for them.
They have backed him so far I don't think they can let go now

Anti-rape is so woke man

That Lehrmann belongs on the "faces you want to punch" thread. What a vile looking creature, and to think there are campaigners who thought this guy was innocent. Get. ****ed.

 

[Not Important]

just why the abc re-appointed anderson is mystifying. he’s overseen the decimation of a once-great broadcaster. admits to hiring murdoch propagandists. is comfortable allowing douches such as liberal members like the campbell’s, and peeps like bolt, kenny, albrechtson, elsworth, mcrann, sheridan........air time. it’s a disgrace. sack him!

 

[Gralin]

High profile for being accused of rape and going to court for it multiple times

we'd not know his name otherwise

I don't know that phrenology is a good way to decide guilt.

Nah, this is just a visceral response confirmed by his guilty actions but sure, hindsight bias comes into play with that. If he never raped those women, I'd probably just assume he's a creep/liar/sleaze but not necessarily a rapist.

Far be it for me to suggest. I’m an en mass mind reader, but I reckon tones and dutts have read the room wrong. Apathy ruled at the referendum no one’s picking up pitch forks.

Danger is they go looney right and media is somehow obliged to go half way at lest. The trump card. Take the public debate into ridiculous areas.

The govt should call them out each time and not raise to the bait. Dan Andrews is the template.

It’s because of the need for “balance”. So if lnp go fully extreme right wing, abc still have to platform them and treat them seriously and not insert and “wtf/ commentary”; while no such restrictions apply to commercial media.

Mark Knight drawing nude cartoons of Jacinta Allan… jeez even the Liberal Party have criticised it

Smart by the vic lnp, shift the focus the main pint (comm games)

It’s my theory they went all in on protecting Scomo trying to hide it before the last election. I have zero doubt Jesus boy would have known about it 5 minutes after it happened & would have instructed everyone to bury it as deep as possible and started to use his usual tactics of backgrounding to his sycophants in the Murdoch media about the victim.

They succeeded in killing the trial but the complicit media are caught now having backed Lehmann to the hilt they’re not going to back down now.

Meanwhile all the edgelords online just regurgitate whatever side of the culture war is anti woke, owning the left etc.

Nuance, truth, justice , facts hell even science are irrelevant to a large percentage of people now. They simply parrot whatever talking points are disseminated in their anger factory echo chambers.

Lehmann is just a culture war line in the sand.

They aren’t huge fans of consent.

 

[Gavin Excell]

Terrible and awful columnists Bolt and Panahi trying to score points in the tedious Left v Right debate in the Israel Gaza war.

In classic Murdoch world, a complex and nuanced historical conflict reduced to a black and white simplicity of attacking Labor

From his letter to the troops
My father firmly believed in freedom, and Lachlan is absolutely committed to the cause. Self-serving bureaucracies are seeking to silence those who would question their provenance and purpose. Elites have open contempt for those who are not members of their rarefied class. Most of the media is in cahoots with those elites, peddling political narratives rather than pursuing the truth.

The irony of the last line should not be lost

Who are these elites if not global media mogul billionaires?
