In 2023, we receive essential information of #politics and #democracy from a dubious collection of foreign #tech giants - #TikTok, #YouTube, #Facebook - and a foreign media co. with ties to industrial-scale lying and anti-democratic stuff. #auspol#yes23

News Flash. News media gets it wrong, AGAIN. Why is that? Because the owners of the bulk of the Australian media put journalism second to the pursuit of their commercial & ideological agenda. THAT is the news story out of this. But who is reporting it? #VicVotes2022
Bizarre #Insiders panel analysis of Vic election, within a few minutes the focus goes to talking up Frydenberg & his chances of a comeback! Andrews gets a short interview and then his massive achievement barely rates a mention; typical Speers hijack ... #auspol#vicpol
Speers after it’s announced Labor has achieved another thumping election victory: “Should Dan Andrews stay as premier for four years?”
