  • Tony Abbott and Scott Morrison (two of the shittest cunts in Australian politics) deliberately gutted the ABC and fucked with its independence, because they couldn't handle the legitimate criticisms of their stupidity and incompetence

    It's not that this journalist was some saint, but the axing was delivered as a sign of bending the knee

    The Labor government hasn't been able to unfuck the many years of bullshit that happened yet, and the cuts were so deep that things may never go back to the way they were

    Edit:

    Whoops, wrong ABC

  • It's hard to argue given their trajectory

    The reality is that if China stops supplying the world with stuff, we're fucked

    The entire world relies on China's cheap and available "stuff", and it encompasses everything

    They have economic power, they have soft political power and have been pumping money into Africa and the pacific

    They have harder political power in Asia

    The have enormous military power

    They have abundant resources

    They already have the world by the balls, but it's unpleasant for most people to acknowledge it

  • Yet another reason I'm grateful to not live in 'Murica

    Our state broadcaster is bound by a charter of independence, and only reports facts

    The majority of the other broadcasters spray around some populist bullshit, but nothing remotely like the absolute crap that passes for news in the US

    There's one seriously right-wing outlet, unsurprisingly it's Murdoch's baby, but it's widely disregarded

    Unfortunately, he pays for it to be pumped out for free to the rursk/hick areas, whereas in the cities, it comes for a price

    All in all, while it's not perfect, Australia has better media than the US

    But so does almost everywhere...
