Media in Australia, aka Pravda Down Under

The Soviet Union's "Pravda" newspaper was considered very useful. That's because everybody knew that the stories they printed were the exact opposite of the truth

One of our freedom movement colleagues in the U.S. recently asked us:

“Hey, what is the mainstream media like down there, I mean what kind of information are everyday people getting these days?”

So we thought we’d prepare a summary for them. It goes like this:

The Australian mainstream media have one of the simplest news media business models in the world.

What’s their secret?

They just run the same 5 stories over and over in a continuous loop.

One after the other, day in and day out, the same 5 stories.

This makes the “news” business really easy!

No need for pesky and expensive reporting. No need to ask the people in power uncomfortable questions that might make them feel icky.

All they need to do is turn on their pre-programmed story machines in the morning, step back, and watch the sponsor (and government) dollars roll in:

So whether it’s the ABC, Channel 7, Channel 9, Channel 10, SBS, Sydney Morning Herald, or the other main media organs, the Australian public are fed a steady diet of:

So without further ado, here are the *5 stories* that come down the barrel of the Australian news revolver:

Story #1: The Brave And Noble Police, And What They Did Today To KEEP YOU SAFE

Story #2: The Horrible Grievances Of The Minority Group Of The Day

Story #3: How Great The Current Thing Is

Story #4: Nonsense

Story #5: Now On To Sport

2 million people in the streets of Brazil, protesting a rigged presidential election?

Nah, wouldn’t show that, can’t have Australians getting the wrong ideas. Besides, our elections are 100% Safe and Effective, we guarantee it!

Australian drones being used by Ukrainians to bomb targets deep inside Russia?

Pif. The ethnic cleansing, cluster-bombing army of neo-Nazi sympathisers we are supporting would never do such a thing.

Besides, wouldn’t that amount to a declaration of war by Australia against Russia?

Healthy young Australians are keeling over and dying suddenly, but it’s hard to find news about it. And nobody in the “news business” is trying to find out why.

No need to give people access to such trivia.

So here’s a deep dive into the 5 story lines that mean Australians may be some of the most misinformed people on the planet:

Story #1

The Brave And Noble Police And What They Did Today To KEEP YOU SAFE

In order to keep a modern police state humming along these days, with the government wanting to reach in and control every last little corner of peoples’ lives, it’s critical that citizens get a daily reminder of the boundaries of what used to be called their “rights”.

So the nightly news inevitably starts with a paean to our noble enforcers (yes, we understand they are only obeying orders):

The subtext here is that the next time you see officers pepper spraying and assaulting an elderly woman for the crime of disagreeing with the government, it’s best to keep your mouth shut.

So don’t be too surprised if the first 2 or 3 or news stories every night cover this critical point that the government wants to be sure that citizens understand:

The blue is good for you! Or else.

Story #2

The Grievances Of The Minority Group Of The Day

And How We Must All Drop Everything We’re Doing And Give Them Whatever They Want

To understand this story (we explained to our Yank friend) you must understand first that Australia operates under a system known as “Minoritarianism”:

Those used to Western democracy might think this is an odd way to run a country.

But in Australia we let the rights of 1% of the population trample the rights of 50.7% of the population:

We hear constantly how all people, regardless of their ethnicity, should celebrate and be proud of their culture, their heritage, their traditions, their people and their history.

Unless, of course, you are in the majority.

In which case your history, traditions, and accomplishments are nothing but racist, genocidal, and vile:

The way these Daily Minority Grievance Olympics are run, it doesn’t much matter which group is involved, so long as they can be positioned against a majority.

And as a member of a horrible majority group, the important thing to know is that you are not doing nearly enough to surrender your rights, your privileges, and your tax dollars to them. Even if we don’t quite know what their grievance is.

Antarctica Goes for the Grievances Gold Medal

There are approximately 1,400 Australians working in Antarctica.

But apparently it’s critical that we all understand and feel bad about the grievances of this .0007% of the Australian population:

The Minority Grievances Story Line matches up well with Karl Marx’s instructions:

“Always work to divide people into two classes, the Oppressed and the Oppressor”

Story #3

The Current Thing.

Depending upon the memo of the day, this could be:

How only the worst people in the world would refuse experimental injections, and how SaFe AnD EfFeCtIvE they obviously are;
How the brave and noble Ukrainians are championing the cause of democracy;
Or the time-honoured favourite: Even More Proof That Trump is Definitely Hitler.

But the real go-to Current Thing story, of course, is this one:

The War on the Weather (aka the war on the fact that Earth’s climate changes) is making “green” investors absolute mountains of taxpayer money.

This means that everything must be recruited in order to justify the massive flow of money from your wallet into theirs.

Justifying this green energy money grab even reaches to the very top of the world:

Readers interested in some really old-fashioned stuff, like the data, evidence, and science behind all of this, can find a summary HERE.

Story #4

Nonsense. Meaningless stories and clips from the internet that disorient, distract, and confuse people.

These are actually kind of fun. But their purpose is to throw people off balance, even if just a little bit.

And pulling random clips from the internet for free is also a way to keep your “newsroom” costs down.

Story #5

Sport.

Sport used to be a welcome respite from political haranguing. But these days it has now also become a chance to amplify stories #2 and #3 above.

Australians: Grab yourself some information while it is still legal

Legislation ENDING FREEDOM OF SPEECH IN AUSTRALIA is sailing its way through our “Parliament”.

It’s being pushed by the current extreme left Labor government, but was authored by the “opposition” Coalition.

Soon (especially if you stay silent to your MP about it) Australia will join Mao’s China, Stalin’s Russia, Pol Pot’s Cambodia, Hitler’s Germany, and Kim Jong Un’s North Korea in the proud pantheon of countries determined not to let their subjects find out what is going on.
