RaymondPierreL3#AmyRemeikis in her column for #DeepCutNews dot com has taken aim at the #ParliamentaryPressGallery for their #BrokenPromisse obsession and the way in which they tune the political narrative to suit their antiquated journalism.
“voters are not only aware the Albanese government broke a promise to not change CGT and negative gearing, but are marking it down for it. But dig deeper into the data and it turns out that the changes are either welcomed or neutral. So it’s not the changes then, but the narrative.
Media in this context love to see themselves as neutral, when the exact opposite is true. The reason the promise exists in the first place is because of the game of rule in, rule out that journalists and commentators love to play during election campaigns.
Once something has been ruled out, it is expected to always be ruled out. This is in part in response to questions the community is asking, but it’s mostly about what the Canberra clique is obsessed with — because it is only ever the promises that the press gallery care about which get attention.”
Amy tells it like it is: “The press gallery is whiter and wealthier than most of the population. Journalism is increasingly the domain of the wealthy, which means the journalists who cover politicians share the same networks.” And alleges that the Gallery doesn’t reflect our society or public opinion. With self-interests disconnected from the electorate at large, is it any wonder our msm is all fucked up and nought but a #CentreRight #PropagandaMachine?
