Trust those without a financial stake.
In Australia that’s the ABC.
Now the ABC are not 100% unbiased. There exists no organisation that is 100% unbiased
But the ABC do not rely on advertising. That alone means they cannot be swayed by money.
Organisations like the Age also are regarded as reliable. Now they do rely on advertising. But in their favour over news.com.au is the fact that not one man is at the top directing the editorial policy.
I never saw a 2 page wrap around on the Age that concentrated entirely on how great a man was one Liberal candidate for the seat of Menzies in the last federal election. Those “editorials” amounted to hundreds of thousands of dollars of free political advertising.
Thankfully the population of that electorate saw through it and did not return the sitting Liberal member.
I trust the ABC. I trust the Age, with the caveat that I need to look deeper into their stories. I also enjoy, but don’t trust, the Saturday Paper. Which is basically a socialist rag. A great read though.

The Saturday Paper

The Saturday Paper is a quality weekly newspaper, dedicated to narrative journalism. It offers the biggest names and best writing in news, culture, and analysis, with a particular focus on Australia.

Dave, don't listen to BW. The Age and especially the ABC are controlled by the left and their reporting most of the time is false and misleading. Be open-minded.

Haha!
Yes, no doubt the ABC and the Age have a left bent. As I already stated.
But it’s a slight bent particularly from the ABC.
On the other hand, Murdoch entities are extreme right bent and actually lie to gain clicks and eyeballs.
Only morons follow things like Sky News and Sky late night programming.
Full of lies, lies and even more lies. All to make favour with the old man and fatten their wallets.
No one at the ABC is fattening their wallets I can assure you!
Even in America there was the celebrated case of a Fox presenter who railed constantly against vaccination, then refused to answer the simple question “are you vaccinated”? He simply followed the create outrage line of news to create clicks/eyeballs while doing the exact opposite in his personal life.
And the morons sucked it up.

Here’s a bit of fact checking on a Fox/Murdoch presenter.

Fact-checks | PolitiFact

PolitiFact is a fact-checking website that rates the accuracy of claims by elected officials and others on its Truth-O-Meter.

And here’s Murdoch defending lawsuits against Fox by using the defence “first amendment freedom of speech”, while suing Crikey for defamation. The hypocrisy!

The Murdoch Family Exposes Its Hypocrisy in Lawsuits Over Fox News

In separate defamation suits in the U.S. and Australia, the Fox News owners contradict themselves by trying to avoid the punishment they seek to inflict on others.

Seriously?

The Age and Channel 9 chairman is Peter Costello - ex Liberal Treasurer and the ABC is chaired by Ita Buttrose appointed by the Morrison government and has more RW bias than ever before.

You are so out of date!

Do you actually watch these things that you put up? That had nothing to do with the vaccine and everything to do with people letting themselves go during lockdown.

My routine didn't change one bit during Covid and a week after my second jab i had chest discomfort bad enough to to the doc and have an ECG and other tests done. Still get it occasionally now. Have heard many similar stories. I line up for any vaccination usually but * that stress again. Just my experience. Perhaps was a coincidence

Well ya see, Norm, it's like this... A herd of buffalo can only move as fast as the slowest buffalo. And when the herd is hunted, it is the slowest and weakest ones at the back that are killed first. This natural selection is good for the herd as a whole, because the general speed and health of the whole group keeps improving by the regular killing of the weakest members.
"In much the same way, the human brain can only operate as fast as the slowest brain cells. Excessive intake of alcohol, as we know, kills brain cells. But naturally it attacks the slowest and weakest brain cells first.
In this way, regular consumption of beer eliminates the weaker brain cells, making the brain a faster and more efficient machine. That's why you always feel smarter after a few beers.

One mispelling - it's "Nahm"
 
IF there was a Test I could take to say how I would get effected by the Vaccine and that came up nothing for me then I might have it but with my Dad dying 4 Days after getting the 3rd Vaccine don't want to take the Risk
