Ep 44 - The Ideological Complex

from Truth, Lies and Media

Riddle me this .. Why aren't the media hitting the alarm bells over the Australian MAGA machine trying to install a Trumpian government in this country? They call themselves Advance, they fawn over Pauline Hanson, they are funded by rich conservative donors and they set their attack dogs on voices that refuse to sing from the whites only, climate denying, back to the 50's hard right playbook. It's a big story getting minimal attention.  Plus we look at the gushing media interviews rolled out for the new Liberal leader, Angus "Watergate" Taylor.. you will have heard lots of slogans about "Australian values" but no mention of the Robodebt cabinet he served in or dogwhistling to racists.  And the once mighty Gallup polling agency, the founder of all modern public opinion methodology, bends the knee to Donald Trump.Support independent journalismBecome a memberOr go to: buymeacoffee.com/truthliesandmediaOur SocialsFacebookBlueSkyX Hosted on Acast.
