Welcome to your new fake left tyranny:
The Albanese government has been urged to remove the “professional news content” exemption from its crackdown on misinformation on social media, amid concerns that news coverage of the voice and Covid has spread false information and lies.
The Greens, independent MPs Zali Steggall and Zoe Daniel and the media law academic Michael Douglas have all questioned the blanket exemption in Labor’s disinformation crackdown.
Douglas and the Greens senator Sarah Hanson-Young cited coverage from News Corp as a cause for concern.
Hanson-Young said misinformation was a “growing threat to our democracy, whether it’s spread via large social media platforms or by large multinational media corporations, like the Murdoch media”.
…Steggall told Guardian Australia that freedom of the press should “come with a responsibility for fact-based journalism”.
And what about The Guardian, which, point blank, refuses to discuss or debate the facts around immigration, sexuality, race or other culture wars with which it is obsessed?
What about Crikey, the ABC, SMAGE, The Saturday Paper, IA and myriad smaller fake left publications that refuse to discuss the facts of their culture war sacred cows?
They won’t be monitored, censored and banned by the Nanny State?
Fake left ideology is not truth. It is a closed loop of reasoning that is as biased as the fake right.
Undoubtedly, the Murdoch press is fake right and obnoxious. But it does not generally demand (beyond the publically funded ABC) that the fake left be cancelled.
Censorship is worse than misinformation. At least with the latter, you can make the judgement.
The former is pure mind control, which is what the fake left is all about.
