Is it cool that Stokes, Murdoch and Costello own Australian media?

The saving grace is that legacy media organisations are all in the throes of a long, slow death.
Young people don’t watch TV or read newspapers.
It used to be the only way to get news so everybody consumed it. Now it’s not.
The social nature of new media isn’t perfect, but it offers a very different landscape where everything isn’t filtered through a few editorial desks.
Legacy media organisations may not actually die - they are capable of pivoting to sports broadcasting or content streaming, if they can… but nobody currently under 60 is paying for their bullshit “news” coverage. Younger people are used to seeing a wide range of news sources and are aware when things that are so obviously bullshit.

How on earth do you even answer whether or not it’s “cool”?
What a strange word to use.

Do you think it's cool for our democracy?How on earth do you even answer whether or not it’s “cool”?
What a strange word to use.
People who don't answer aren't worried about the word "cool", they just don't know how to answer because they know it is bullshit
Everyone knows "cool" can mean "ok"
You already know the answer to it.
You created the thread to purely bitch and moan and go fishing for arguments, hence you’ve tagged individuals who had written nothing thus far.

I had interactions with those people in another thread, it was more relevant in this thread to ask their opinion here.
You're just another "centrist" and everyone sees you for what you are
I don't hide my opinions on here like you

Bummer.
What’s wrong with being a centrist?
I would of thought they’d Labor voters.
Guilty as charged. Voted Albo.
I want you to respond to my comment and tell me what Labor are doing about it with their control of the lower house and shared control of the upper house.

They can't do anything because they would be voted out if they did
Then we'd be stuck with the Coalition for another nine years

Then stop complaining, because there's no use. If they won't do anything about it when they have the chance, then they deserve their fate.
Governments shouldn't want power for the sake of having power, they should want it for the ability to change the system to a better one. If Labor are too pusillanimous to do that, then they're going to be a perpetual disappointment.

That's fair enough
Must be nice to be so idyllic, not like the Greens will ever be in government in my life
So you don't complain about anything because everything in this country is driven by the media
Stop complaining about shit, there's no use
Stop complaining about climate change
So cute
Imagine being this naive.
What has dragged this country to the right and it's not Labor

... this is an utter pisstake, right?
Labor right has controlled the Labor fed leadership for ****ing decades. It's why every single state and fed labor government is entirely captured by neoliberal economics. Just because they ****ing wear red and are not campaigners for it does not mean they're not right wing.
What people do when in power is what they are, no more and no less.
Imagine being so naive that, when someone pissed on you and said it was the rain, you believed them.

Yeah, Laura Tingles made him do it.
Ding dong, the witch is gone! Which old witch? The wicked witch!
The king is dead, long live the King I'm afraid
It's ironic if it wasn't so sad. "Journalist" under Rupert(previously Stokes) baits the 9 head(and govt second in command), drops him cause he's brown and probably lefty, retires on his pile of millions cause it looks a bit bad.
Nothing changes here as usual, he'll do some pre election coverage or something and everyone will forget. gg

FTA networks are a protected species. Time to abandon anti-siphoning laws and make these clowns accountable.

ridicule works for me. that said, half is an overreach, but being an active party member and player in the political landscape while being a key media exec is gross hypocrisy. sadly, he was/is not on his lonesome
