A 2-months old Sophie the Moron farrago of nonsense based on a typical piece of IPA garbage.

https://about.abc.net.au/correcting...g-sophie-elsworth-the-australian-and-the-ipa/

The true figure was probably about 10% of the mythical "1700".

A quick look shows the mentions counted by The Australian include:

  • Mentions of chef Lauren Murdoch (one 4 August radio interview was counted as being 17 separate mentions) and various other people with the surname “Murdoch” (eg Lindsay Murdoch, Peter Murdoch, Brent Murdoch, Roger Murdoch, Jordan Murdoch)
  • Mentions of the News Corp shareprice in stockmarket reports. Just one of these, on 6 August (“The best performers today include News Corp after it delivered a strong full-year profit”) was counted as being 13 separate mentions
  • Mentions of Murdoch University and the Murdoch Children’s Research Institute
  • Mentions of News Corp journalists whose work was being quoted
  • Mentions of stories in News Corp papers that are being quoted
  • Mentions of News Corp papers during wraps of the morning media
In fact The Australian has even included traffic reports as multiple instances of the ABC “discussing Murdoch”.

The Australian’s story is false, misleading and frankly ridiculous. The ABC has sought a correction from The Australian.

And drivers should be careful of traffic conditions in Murdoch St, Cremorne, and Murdoch Road, South Morang.

The role of the Board in day to day management is .... ?
Senate hearings do the job of holding day to management to account.

The ABC charter is to provide balanced and factual news.
This limits how much absolute bullshit the y can cam publish and like any reputable news source immediately puts them at odds with the Murdoch Press.
1700 times a month would be once per ever 20-30 Murdoch "falsehoods".
They have a duty to expose miss truths and falsehoods in any other media.
Murdoch's simply rules the roost of bullshitters.

When Morrison is thankfully and finally in the rearview mirror I imagine he'll be more like Trump. Will use any talking point as a way of rubishing his enemies and talking about himself and how great he is/was and how much better he'd do whatever it is they're talking about.

Fox News has been a nightly destination for anti-vax rhetoric, with Tucker Carlson, Laura Ingraham, and Sean Hannity characterising vaccine, and mask mandates, as attacks on constitutional liberties.

Subsequently the partisan gap in COVID-19 deaths is widening, with just 60% of Republicans vaccinated compared to 90% of Democrats.

The death rate from COVID-19 in heavily Republican voting counties is three times that of people in Democrat strongholds.

The technology in the Coalition’s cut-down version of the NBN cost up to three times more than originally forecast and was closer to the initial estimated cost of a revised version of Labor’s full-fibre plan, according to figures the government has sought to keep secret for almost a decade.

I don't know if it is heartening, since the papers lost their financial viability is pretty much when they swung hard to the right and dropped any semblance of balance. I've often wondered why they continued down a path that would hurt it financially in the long run, being so partisan, I now think it's they just want to push the political narrative to right and have given up on the paper business.
