Murdoch media has been by far the most influential media source for decades. Continues to be. Especially in Australia.

that was the whole basis for rupert taking his own kids to court. He wanted his right wing nutter son to control it all because he was afraid his more centrist kids might not push the rights agenda as much if control was shared between them. It only cost him $1B each child to ensure they stayed out of murdoch medias decision making.

FOX news are lefties ????

Thats just silly.

Murdoch and co have put dozens of righty nutter governments in power over many decades accross much of the world.

No one mentioned Fox News but you.

It's you that's silly.

You miss the title - the media. Fox is a world leader of Media and by far the most politically active media company going to the extent of driving world wide right wing media propoganda.

Yeah nah it doesn't work that way puddleduck.

The left will be the downfall of the planet.

You know that's just the equivalent of you sticking your fingers in your ears. Murdoch media has been by far the most influential media source for decades. Continues to be. Especially in Australia.

Even the commercial stations in Australiaa lean right. That's why your so furous with the ABC and SBS. The tell the truth without pandering to your never-ending rage.

How is this influence evident? Why do people pay for News publications when they can get the ABC FREE?

why isn't the ABC as influential, in your view?

There have been a series of Australian elections where it has been very even or Labor have been in front leading into an election and then the manic news ltd media campaign over the last weeks of the election has delivered a solid conservative win - time after time - again and again. Late media camaigns often dishonest have produced late election swings always in the same media driven direction.

Silly nonsense. Menzies was the longest serving PM decades before News Corp started (1979).
News Corp backed Hawkie and Kevni.

You old farts are still living in the Whitlam fantasy land. Laughable.

The ABC and The Granuiad, on the other hand, never ever backed or endorsed or even covered impartially a non Labor/Green side.
"They are holding government to account". Very well. What you old cloth-capped proles call ' News corp bias' is simply holding leftie governments to account to balance the ABC/Granuiad/Schwartz Media boosting of them.

News Corp backed Hawkie and Kevn

Newscorp switched late to Labor on one or two occasions after everything they tried had failed and still many in newscorp stayed with the Liberals. It was already a lost battle when News gave the impression of supporting the winner but right into the last week people like the manic Piers Morgan were still driving Liberal propoganda full speed ahead.

Yes after 75 News limited editors did publicly appologise for their actions through the previous term.

Yeah, ignore the rest....

Anyway, how is expressing a view from the right of centre more persuasive electrically than views from the left?

Because that is what you cloth capped proles are saying. Merely expressing a view not in line with the ABC/Granuiad/Schwartz line of p.c. pwogwessive orthodoxy is 'influencing' and 'manic media campaign'. Disagreeing with you is 'media manipulation'.

Laughable.

Laughable.

They drove children overboard - it was a lie, no children were thrown overboard and they knew it.
They drove panic over the off shore policy
They drone the docks dispute lies and corruption
They drove the better ecanomic managers lie.
They pushed the aboriginal intervention. A fail this time
They were behind the debt truck - no action was ever taken in government.
They even stood behind the never ever GST lie.
They backed up Fraser and Kerr's conspiricy.
There was not a schred of journalitic integrity from them in decades.
They spent years undermining any Labor leader and destabalising Labor.

Many of these lies successfully drove late votes and successful swings to Liberal governments.

Nonsense, duckwit.

The electorate is manipulated by News Corp when they elect the Libs.
The same electorate is NOT manipulated when they elect Labor.

You simpletons imagine that when people agree with you they are shrewd and smart but when they disagree, the same people are stupid, manipulated dupes.

You have ZERO self-critical, reflective, thoughtful bones in your bodies. As deranged about ANY disagreement as any two bit screamer demagogue. Which you are, come to think of it.

If you were correct their would be something favouring the left to offset anything on this list. fact is that there isn't. You cannot point to anything substantial driven by the media relating to any Labor election win.

Most of the media report on elections NEWS ltd partisipate in them.
