Finished reading Earthquake by Niki Savva. A book about politics (specifically the ‘surprise’ losses by conservatives of the last 2 Australian elections), full of quotable quotes. From the Introduction (p 3):
“Journalists… seldom welcome being told how to do their jobs better, especially if they are in the business of dividing, not informing, or if they are loathe to deliver tough messages to leaders they like or their owners support. Blindly partisan media—particularly Sky After Dark and the Murdoch Press—create or nurture the fatal flaws that eventually destroy the very people they are desperate to promote. Along the way they wreck their own credibility. Covering up for conservatives—or anybody else—ensures that everyone loses. Including and especially Australians.”
AIUI "they" (Ita's legacy mob) are trying to destroy the credibility of our non-commercially run, taxpayer-funded broadcaster.
They want Australians to be relying on propaganda outlets like Murdoch's and Kerry Stokes' instead.
And for capitalist media not to have to compete with any quality broadcaster.
David Speer's prominence fits perfectly with those fascist goal.
