Why the MSM betrayed you with ‘fake news’

Auto Expert John Cadogan has unloaded on the Mainstream Media for betraying the public with ‘fake news’:

Here’s the money quote:

“This subversion of the news happens in the nightly news and the mainstream media more generally. Like Gerry Harvey – huge advertiser, right? He could therefore probably go out and sponsor the fricken Taliban or sell the shitsville harbour bridge to the Chinese and throw in the Opera House for all we care. And there’d be a complete absence of fake news media criticism.

“I’m pointing to the depth of comment control in play under the big top in the media”…

“This really is an informational cancer, where the facts don’t matter and the vested interests do”…

I was attacked yesterday by some subscribers for airing similar grievances.

Let’s get real. Independent outlets like Michael West, Real Jordies and MB only exist because the MSM has turned into swill.
