My personal hope is all Victorians recognise this Saturday's state election is an opportunity for each of them to send rupert Murdoch and peter Costello a message the biased coverage by their media businesses did not sway you from re-electing the Dan Andrews Labor government

@PeterCronau @abcnews Someone should ask the new chair of the ABC, Kim Williams if this is the impartiality he craves?

@SarkySage And full credit to the ABC journo who asked the question. This is the first time, believe it or not, I have heard Dutton's unfounded claims challenged by media, the first time!! The young journo involved can be proud he is doing what all real journos should be doing

@JosieMcskimming Hang on, Josie. Our friend lehrmann has the small matter of a court hearing in Queensland on charges of rape to deal with. I don't want him going anywhere just yet. Personally, I am hoping he gets to stay in Australia for many, many, many years - behind bars of course

Dutton declares Alice Springs a disaster and needs the army. He links this to demands for detail on The Voice. PM Albanese invites Dutton to committee meeting so he can get more detail on The Voice. But best dutton can do is phone in because he wants to attend pell's funeral!!!

@news_australian ABC managers having this view of Andrew probyn's conduct goes some way to explaining the current destruction of the ABC as we have known and loved it

@StephenJonesMP Stephen, you cannot be taken to be genuine and serious on this subject unless you also recognise and name mainstream media as complicit in spreading disinformation, misinformation and outright lies. Why are you finding it so hard to admit what everyone else knows?

It's no coincidence the campaign against social media by mainstream media occurred only several weeks after social media owners ended multi million $ payments to mainstream media for news feeds. It's a contrived campaign. It's a "get square" by greedy billionaire media owners
