Trumpled (Alternative Leading)

[LP]

Given FoxNews, Rush Limbaugh and the rest of the right-wing propaganda machine was critical to Trump’s rise, enabling to use it as a firehose of disinformation and lies, it’s worth questioning whether SkyNews can corrupt Australia’s political process:
Is Sky News shifting Australian politics to the right? Not yet, but there is cause for alarm, the Conversation.

Unlike the USA where pay TV and cable is saturated, hardly anybody who isn't somehow heavily invested in it watches Sky News in Australia!

Political types do, but it's a closed loop feedback system, which is perhaps why they seem so heavily disconnected from the public leaving them at a loss to understand the average person!

Also The Conversation article lacks context when discussing the Youtube numbers, there is no clarification on where those viewers were from, just counts of the number of times a story was viewed and even so the numbers are piddling. But it still probably qualifies as a canary.
