    This is not a deal. This is purely a platform to sell advertisements and sway voters towards the political party that supports them with taxpayer funds.

    This is not news, it’s propaganda.

      Don't forget the news media bargaining code… artificially creating a revenue stream for a dying industry. I thought Liberals were meant to let the market regulate itself rather than propping up dying industries.

    Thanks OP the business and market news in the Australian is a worthwhile read for nothing.

      You don't need to vote to neg this. As an immigrant, I would neg this deal due to obvious reasons of them preaching the absolutely insane great replacement theory among other QAnon theories.

            You can get a lot done just with those two tactics.

            Sky News is private it doesn’t have to be unbiased.
            The ABC is public and has a charter to uphold, it should be unbiased.

                    For the record, I do think Murdoch is the root of all evil. He has created the apparatus that he misinformed more people than anyone else. Propaganda and misinformation is extremely harmful. If you don't think that, you watch his crap, but don't get upset when others disagree with your opinion.

                      @kiriakoz: I second this. The right wing theories like mail-in voter fraud, great replacement theory, QAnon used to be a fringe minority with no credibility. Now half of Americans (and many Australians judging by the comments here) think that's the reality. This was amplified during 4 years of Trump and when they tried to move away after Trump lost, their rating dropped so low Rupert Murdoch himself went back to FOX to fix this and continue glorifying the base they had created for 4 years. FOX thought their viewers were only loyal to them but in those 4 years, they had become loyal to Trump and his right-wing lunatics. And like Netflix, FOX has plenty of other crazy right-wing media competition now. So at this point they can either lose most of their business or keep going to the far right. So they removed their 'fair and balanced' slogan and claimed to be 'entertainment' when sued. The damage is already done with the greater public and we are headed to such a dark era of misinformation, there is no returning back.

    • quog on 19/05/2022 - 16:21

      Australia does not have mandatory voting.

      You are requested to go and get your name crossed off and write whatever the fork you wish on each voting form and place them in the ballot box.

      How is that compulsory? You are not FORCED to vote for any politician.

      Are you perhaps misinformed?

      • ZilogX on 19/05/2022 - 16:45

        Australia DOES have mandatory voting. Just because the AEC can't control what a certain clown does with their particular vote doesn't change the basic rule of law.

        • quog on 19/05/2022 - 17:53

          are you actually saying that if I fill out the ballot with all "1" I have broken the law?

      • kiriakoz on 22/05/2022 - 10:38

Only Adam Creighton has something interesting to say in my opinion. And their comment moderators put me on a watch list. Pretty despicable. Daily Tele not too bad, but all the Murdoch platforms are moving in the wrong (ie left) direction. Looking forward to new right wing alternatives to the Murdoch owned sky news and Australian newspaper developing in Australia like they have in the USA with revolver.news and the war room pandemic broadcast.
