The Australian Media
Added 2019-10-04 03:31:24 +0000 UTCThis video began as my response to the media's coverage of the Clive Palmer lawsuit.
It's been an interesting couple of weeks to say the least. The lawsuit garnered international attention and has helped this channel reach a brand new audience - which is cool to see. On the micro scale most of the Australian coverage of the story was decent enough, but broadly speaking, the problems within the Australian media industry run deep. This video is an attempt to explain those problems clearly.
In it, we put forth a reason as to why so many Australians dislike Clive - because they are told to. It's the same reason Scomo is so popular.
Independent journalism in this country is now more important that ever.
As always, thank you all so much for your continued patronage of our channel! The support we've received of late has been absolutely amazing to see.
We hope you have a great weekend!

Real interesting fact about WA, Jordies. We really do have a "Channel 7 Papers" here. It's called the West Australian, and it's a complete shitheap.

2019-10-10 01:04:43 +0000 UTCYeah, you're right, but when a murdoch rag pretty much defines the nation's narrative you've gotta hand it to Jordan, even if you don't read Murdoch's papers pretty much the entire media's agenda is set by The Australian due to the sheer power that Murdoch wields in the media. I mean the cunt owns 70% of all print media, and about 40% of our televised media. Dude's got a fucking evil empire. Tl;Dr, if your paper has ads in it or is funded by the government, it's fucked and doesn't 100% work for ya. Hence why you've gotta pay for good independent journalism. Money talks, bullshit walks.
2019-10-10 01:03:58 +0000 UTCYou're a national treasure, just became a patreon. Would love more in-depth political analysis/updates from you, and I think there's demand for that too. Keep it up
