The comments sections are filled with left leaning commentators who are loud and willing to shout down any opinion that doesn’t align to theirs. As I subscribe to The Australian Newspaper online, I can easily find links to articles published on social media sites such as Facebook and Twitter.
I also read The Sydney Morning Herald, now owned by Nine Entertainment and The Guardian owned by the Guardian Media Group in the United Kingdom. Both the SMH and The Guardian are left leaning media groups.
I also read the Australian Broadcasting Corporation (ABC) online and whilst it is considered left leaning, they are reasonably unbiased in their reporting. This could actually be said about The Australian Newspaper as well as journalists are employed from both a right and left leaning perspective.
So when I read the dropkicks loudly commenting online about Murdoch, he doesn’t actually write for The Australian Newspaper blaming all their election losses on Rupert, one might actually ask why his media group employs so many left leaning journalists?
Might it be The Australian Greens and the Australian Labor Party have lousy policies that keep them almost in perpetual opposition? There are a lot of loud commentators on social media and despite their best attempts at bullshit conspiracy theories not grounded in reality, they don’t actually change public opinion.
So the ALP are normally consigned to another three years of sitting on the opposition benches and wondering why they seem to be perpetual losers at a federal level. The ALP ability to lose an unlosable election might not only be based on their lack of coherent policy, it might also be the higher than thou chattering social media commentators doing damage.
