Media vendettas against conservative politicians

[GoldenSky]

Anyone notice the recent trend towards Australian journos being hyper-partisan towards conservative politicians in particular? Is this at the behest of American corporations like CBS which own Channel 10? Or reflective of the fact the media-class as a whole is more left-of-centre? Or reflective of the younger age profile of journos these days, which as a cohort we know favour the left more?

This was a theory I put forward last week:

1) Nothing to do with ScoMo's own goals - PVO has a clear vendetta against the Morrison office.

Where Chief then replied:

You think this because conservative western governments have a recent history of denigrating the press to take the sting out of reports of government failures and malfeasance. That's all.

Today, PVO's vendetta is on full display again.





So, my question - as nearly every Australian receives their political news through events and happenings parsed by journalists rather than watching source material (ie Parliament or press conferences) what impact does a hyper-partisan press that favours the left have on political discourse in this country?

If the current Government wasn't filled with corrupt, deceitful, cruel and economically incompetent people journalists wouldn't have any ammunition.

ABC, 7,9/Fairfax, 10 SBS and Murdoch all support the LNP

When jounros hold the LNP to account they get blasted, Look at friendlyjordies who exposed LNP NSW corruption and the SMH came out with "how to solve a problem like Friendlyjordies" over reporting facts.

Their is a giant racket in the country and the people are getting more and more sick of it.

 

[GoldenSky]

And this is co-ordinated too.

Have a look at this APPALLING tweet by Maiden, plastering the face of an innocent man all over her Twitter, in a sick attempt to smear him because he hasn't been fielding her calls this week. She knows it's wrong because she has removed the ability of posters to comment on it (knowing her twitter hounds will post defamatory material).

 

[GoldenSky]

Co-ordinated with the Guardian too. Obviously all the left-wing journos are in a humph because this guy did not respond to their pestering.

I see NO reason why this man's private picture should be plastered all over twitter.

 

[GoldenSky]

Of course, why would Maiden do this? Another vendetta.

Hahahaha, ABC and SBS and Mark Riley and Fairfax supports the LNP, Christ almighty some people are blinkered.

The only thing people point out about Fairfax is that Peter Costello is Chairman...otherwise most if not all of their journos are raging-red socialists. Ross Gittins an LNP supporter? Hahahaha.

ABC and SBS get funding from the lnp and Sales, Mcdonald and co have given the soft touch to them compared to what questions they give labor.

Fairfax is newscorp lite, they put puff pieces out but what Costello wants he gets, look at their radio stations.

More and more people are seeing through msm fake news and how they are a racket for the lnp.

The media which holds Government to account is treated like the enemy by the Government and have to take on that stance.

The media which print puff-pieces and Govt Press Releases get better access and aren't combative at all because they're not doing any journalism.

It's not bias. One part of the media is trying to hold the Government to account (the whole point) and the other is not. One looks biased to supporters of the Government, the other can't really call itself a news organisation as much as it is an extension of the Public Relations arm of the Government.

 

[Stan_Darsh72]

Or we can talk about how the media hides the LNP sexual assault cases, or their corruption, or what Costello is doing to the future fund, or how Bruz has ruined country NSW


How very red-socialist of the SMH going after someone exposing corruption.

 

[Taylor]

I think we would see the same sort of stuff against the ALP if they were in power.

Tabloid journalism is the easiest click and the easiest sort for that is negative stories. Anything that takes more than a few days work takes too long so they need something that hits now.

I'd love to see a story on how politicians only care about sexual assault when it either makes their side look good or the other side look bad, but that would get very ugly as the journalists are just as guilty of using people and their pain to make a dollar as the politicians are using them for political point scoring.

Since when did holding the government to standards we hold everyone else to a vendetta? Someone has been raped here and it looks as though it's been covered up at the highest level.

 

[Father Jack]

Is the suggestion that the government should get a free pass when it tries to cover up a rape? Or is only one outlet allowed to report on it otherwise they must be coordinating together?

Really, really strange thread. And a bit frightening too I think.

Yeah but gs know's he'll get nuked if he sooks in the Shirko thread the way every other bootlicker on here has this past week so this is his next best bet.

 

[GoldenSky]

Right. Covered up from who? The Police? That the Minister actually had a meeting with?

Or New-Idea style gossip-members of BigFooty and the public?

Please elaborate and explain your post - what is the position everyone else holds that the Minister didn't in this regard? That we would encourage a victim to go to the Police and in fact have a meeting with the Deputy Commissioner of the AFP?!

 

[Mofra]

Murdoch presses constitute the bulk of media in Australia and they are rabidly pro-LNP.
The right-wing clamouring for victimhood knows no bounds.

I see. You think that allegations of covering up a rape are merely gossip that should be ignored. No wonder you've got your panties in a twist and have started one of the more startlingly stupid threads I've ever seen on Bigfooty.

Buh......buh....but they're always the 1st to tell us how " alpha " they all are

Well, of course if you count each newspaper in each city as a different entity, but then count for example the ABC as one entity, then Murdoch media constitutes the bulk.

What about in terms of readership, circulation, subscriptions? Does it constitute the bulk of news?

Oh you must have misunderstood my post. Hopefully not deliberately. I do think I was pretty clear. But I'll spell it out for you again: Is "covering up" an alleged crime when your boss encourages you to report it to Police and actually has a meeting with the AFP Deputy Commissioner about it?

Who, exactly, are you saying this alleged crime was "covered up" from? Usually, the way most people use the English language, it would mean to cover it up from the authorities.

 

[Roby]

So it's the media's fault and those women's fault is it?

I guess RWNJ are correct that we shouldn't have too many women in government. These rapes wouldn't happen if the government was all male!

Didn't think anything could top this thread but there you go

Fairfax (now Nine) and other left-wing media bias in Australian political coverage

I often say Fairfax carries very biased left-wing coverage (in contravention of its stated "Independent. Always." goal), and am often shouted down here. We need to analyse this issue further. I will be doing so and invite others to in this thread. Take, for example, the main headline on SMH...
