The Murdoch rags went full on for the LNP in the election.
The spreads on Frydenberg were huge, the front page of the HUN simply an advertisement.
The LNP lost.
Frydenberg lost.
Murdoch has lost influence. Sky has never had high ratings and gets a lot more attention than it justifies.
Now that the Murdoch Empire has lost influence it is time to put the boot in and finish them off for good. Royal Commission, and anything else they can think of (media ownership laws, how about we ban foreign citizens from having a TV licence?). The ALP will be in government, likely with cross bench support from independents and Greens.
The Murdoch media have consistently worked hard against the ALP, independents and Greens. The Murdoch Empire will always work hard against the ALP, independents and Greens. The ALP, independents and Greens need to wake up to the fact that Murdoch and Co will never do them any favours, will never stop working against any progressive politics, will always support hard right politics.
There is no placating these bastards, the only way to deal with them is to defeat them.
Get ruthless or go home.
