Re: Election 2022 (Poll added) - Thryleon - 05-05-2022
I think people on here should stop thinking of the media as independent news tellers looking to make a buck.
Its arguable they are political propaganda tools and the fact that they are trying their best to make a candidate look bad is a tell that they are more likely to be liberal party propaganda tools.
They won't all be. Some will be labor tools.
If the independents didn't include such vile characters they would be getting my vote just to send a stern message to the status quo.

That's true to a large extent but a quick check of the journalists background or relationships will often identify that bias.
What I'm concerned about is the 'gotcha' type of questioning that seems to be the sport of some of the journalists these days.
It's a game to them, and it's getting sillier, and they're egging each other on.
I'm expecting it to degenerate into questions like "What is the capital of the Solomon Islands?"
Just a reminder it's not a Labor /LNP thing...Morrison was targeted with a price of groceries question early in (or just before) the campaign.
Another stupid question... because the price can differ significantly depending on the brand.
I've noticed overnight it's become a bit of an issue, with others now pointing out how silly (and poor) it's become.

Perhaps we should stop referring to them as journalists and start calling them by what Murdoch has made them, bloggers.
I find it quite amusing that people write me off as paranoid about the way Carlton seems to be treated in the media, dismissing any suggestion of a media bias as my navy blue perspective, then many of the same posters spend time highlighting how the media is biased in the political debates!

Take a look at Monique Ryan yesterday, debating Frydenburg in Kooyong. She might as well have announced she was pulling out from the race.
She believes China should be treated with ‘sensitivity and respect’ Independent Kooyong candidate Monique Ryan has criticised the Morrison government’s “macho, breast beating belligerence” toward China.
“China is our biggest trade partner, and the relationship with our biggest trade partner should be treated with respect and sensitivity."
And she also wants to boost the refugee intake by 50%. !!!
She was a downright bloody disaster and left the forum without talking to or greeting anyone.
What a princess !!!!!!

She's basically a 'single issue' candidate and constantly turned a lot of questions back to the climate.
Another Zali Steggal.

I don't necessarily think it's a bias in the political reporting at the moment.
It's more a 'falling over themselves' to be the one to make a hit on the politician.
It's a 'Look at me, aren't I clever'
It's not specifically targeting any side and they'll take the 'kill' wherever they can get it.
Albo's under the pump at the moment.
These vultures can sense a vulnerability and it is clearly taking a toll on him.
They won't back off, they'll double down.
I'm sure he's starting to dread any press stops.
He won't know what's coming at him.
Some may say 'That's politics' :
You're right when you say it's not journalism.

You see it more in local government, councils try to ban nuclear energy, gas cooking or having backyard barbecues like it actually means something.

In my opinion they are an economic and social disaster waiting to happen, Bob Brown is a prime example, had some meritorious ideas but much of it leads to nothing and it's really when the bigger parties see a political win that something happens. Then the likes of Brown claim the high ground, in reality not having done that that much to effect a change.
Being the first to crow doesn't make you the cock of the walk!
You get players like Lidia Thorpe, abusing police on the front line of violent protests, she shouldn't just be kicked out of politics she should be charged for bringing society into disrepute. In effect she verbals all of us. I'm all for defending the rights of genuine refugees, but crooks and charlatans sneaking into Australia via refugee channels are not genuine refugees. The people Thorpe protested against yesterday had been exposed by DFAT to include some who escaped charges of rape, theft, extortion and murder in their own country.
