This week mining billionaire Gina Rinehart became the largest shareholder in Fairfax, having already bought a stake in Channel Ten. But this new video reveals this move is bigger than one woman's ambition -- it's part of a coordinated and very deliberate strategy, with climate skeptic 'Lord' Monkton seen here advising a room full of mining executives on how the industry must gain control of Australia's media.
The way this was presented when I heard it on JJJ was that he was proposing basically creating a new extremist capitalist nutjob news thing like FOX news specifically to sprout propaganda. I don't know much about this bloke but anyone who suggests that we need anything more like Fox News sounds like a massive douchebag.
edit: cue comments from the usual suspects calling me a pawn of liberal media
climate change denialist Monkton ? haha
You just know whats coming next.
The real denialists are the ones refusing to believe they were wrong about Global Warming and that they have been fooled by Socialists who used your Taxes to "Buy" a nonsensical imaginary threat to the World that could only be saved by turning your Country into a Socialist menagerie.
The Political Media in Australia is woeful.
Whilst the problem is partly to do with the power of The ABC and its direct funder The Government the real problem for Right Wing Politics in Australia is that the Conservatives are unable to fight The Left in The Media. Instead of leading they follow. They fear any bad press from putting forth Conservative Policies which just allows more space to filled with nonsensical Left Wing solutions to everything that always end with us paying more Taxes.
Labor is still that same unlectable bunch of trash that it was under Beazley, it got a makeover with Rudd and Gillard (who always despised one and other) to create a brand new Labor which was really just the same old rusted broken down car painted "Red and Green" with a catchy Slogan.
Fox News is a powerful tool in America, it is incredibly biased but without it America would resemble Europe. Most of you dont see the Left Wing bias in Australia because it is so thick, as evidence by the irrational claims being made about Gina Rinehardt.
We should be proud of ppl like her, not afraid of them.
