News Corp Australia

Apparently they lost their shit after Four Corners did an episode on Fox News and had something like 40-60 articles attacking the ABC within 2 days.

Heck, I remember when the Australian was a credible (or least credible-ish) right-of-centre newspaper.

Sources said the three new divisions would be:
“Fast and free” division - news.com.au and e-commerce sites
Metro and sports division - papers such as Herald Sun and The Daily Telegraph
“Affluent and influential” division - The Australian and prestige publications such as Vogue Australia and GQ

Other options canvassed included moving Sky News Australia into News Corp’s headquarters at Holt Street in Surry Hills.

UPDATE

From the Australian’s Media email digest:

Really, The Australian? That was the big takeaway? There was nothing else to headline from yesterday’s judgement?

News Corp accuse others of participating in “activist journalism” yet they do it in plain sight.

Yes this is the agenda they are running now that they can’t barrack for Bruce Leherman. They’re going to politicize it all to support their liberal mate. It’s endlessly transparent.

I wonder what’s Janet’s hot take this morning :face_with_raised_eyebrow:

I have to say, though, this is not the front page headline I was expecting from the Herald Sun

The Australian had to get a dig in “dodgy project” but none of their publications or broadcasts aren’t dodgy at all.

In fairness to the Oz, they have to justify their dogmatic support for Lehrmann somehow.

They’ve published more this afternoon bashing 10 and the project as well as the government for paying Brittany Higgins money. They’re like rabid dogs and the putrid readers are commenting some of the most vile and hate filled comments.

Ironically “free to air is full of bias” and they prefer sky news that bastion of balanced news.

The news side of Sky News is actually reasonably balanced. Its the opinion/after dark shows that really tip to the right.

Nope… it’s nuanced right wing stuff. Blink and you’ll miss is. It’s in the modality of the language. They sneak it in.

I laugh at the fact that Sky news and the ABC are clearly in love with each other. :joy:

Not really. Just looking at some of the stuff they post to YT in terms of their news and there’s always a right-ish slant/skew to it.

If Sky/News Corpse wants to be an apologist for that sleaze Lehrmann then they deserve all the vitriol they get.
