"The corporate media and a gun-shy ABC had run the press campaign for the government, deceiving millions of Australians" Feeding the Chooks: Scott Morrison’s marketing triumph over mainstream media michaelwest.com.au/feeding-t… via @MichaelWestBiz

The Pulitzer Prize winning American journalist and author Chris Hedges was so very right. @PressClubAust is not a press club. It's just a club. #auspol #npc

So too, the media A number of respected researchers have sounded the alarm on One Nation's paid and outsourced social media game - thousands and thousands of paid accounts interfering in Australian political discourse and elections And what did our media ask about yesterday? Policy wonk speeches and immigration. The most important issue happening in Australia right now is the infiltration of our politics by paid online agitators - they're everywhere Has nobody thought what is pushing this rising One Nation support? Nobody thought where this sudden influence is coming from? Meanwhile at the National Press Club, they're asking whether its chicken or fish today .

RT @ShiannonC: From “One Nation Decoded” on Facebook. Give them a follow. 👇🏻 “I went through Pauline Hanson’s full National Press Club spe…

The PM got hounded for weeks by every “journo” because his son had been given a QANTAS lounge pass. Hanson’s daughter lands a tax payer funded $150,000 work from home job and one journo has the guts to question her. The hypocrisy is next level.

So, let's recap, shall we? This week the @PressClubAust managed to: * cancel at the last minute, the questions and subsequent presence of renowned journalist Margo Kingston, who’d travelled over 2 days to Canberra to ask her question of Pauline Hanson – and yes, they were questions initially requested and organised by the Press Club itself 9 days ago. * cancel the press gallery membership of long-term journalist, Greg Jericho, allegedly because he works for the @TheAusInstitute. Although Greg has been employed by the Aust Institute for 4 years, his membership cancellation only came yesterday after he publicly called out the Canberra press gallery - which is of course a highly fortuitous coincidence and not at all connected to his criticism. * somehow allowed a person or persons unknown to enter the Press Club premises and put up a 3 metre wide electronic banner, without anybody in the Press Club noticing them doing it. How several people enter a private club carrying something that large, then proceed to wire it up on an open stage and nobody at the premises noticed in any way, is yet another display of the NPC’s staggering incompetence. * release an unnecessarily detailed, high-school level statement about said banner incident, a statement that reeks of defensiveness and hysteria, while also prejudicially naming an alleged culprit and arguably sinking to the bottom of the barrel in terms of the journalistic standards it supposedly represents. Read it below and remind yourself that people who work with words for a living wrote that. * allowed the speaker, Pauline Hanson, to defame one of their own - a journalist from the Guardian who dared to ask a hard-hitting question - by calling her "trash". This was only weeks after calling the same journalist a "nasty bitch". Mirroring, Trump’s “Quiet piggy” incident, the journalist's alleged colleagues all sat mute, as did the moderator, Tom Connell from Sky News during the abuse. No rebuke, no blow-back, no support for their fellow journalist, standing alone under Hanson's hissing vitriol. Just pusillanimous silence. The National Press Club outdid their already dubious reputation this week, spraying themselves in a spectacular shower of self-inflicted shit – wall to wall, dripping effluent. Australians currently suffer some of the most timid, captured political journalism in the western world, and if the actions of the #NPC this week are the metric, then we can all see why. What a national and international embarrassment of an organisation meant to serve as a vital democratic institution and a cultural conscience – and one that has offered us neither. .

A few weeks ago we broke news Thales and the Australian gov are making explosives for the IDF. I assume you've noticed mainstream press hasn't followed this up? Anyway, I'm sure it has nothing to do with anything, but Thales is a sponsor of the National Press Club.

In summary: - you blocked Margot from asking a real question to Hanson - Masola instead asks if Australia is being 'Flooded with Muslims' - sponsored by weapons and fossil fuel companies - cancelled Hedges and invited Herzog to speak You're the lamest group of complicit shills

Trump came to power partly by a spineless, toe licking media that sane-washed his every utterance and treated him like a normal person - now look at him Australia - we're in deep trouble This is Australia's legacy media today, right down to the ABC Sane washing a maniac .

Congrats to the press galley - you showed yourself utterly useless. Only @msmarto can walk out knowing she remains a journalist of worth. #npc

It was dead after they cancelled @ChrisLynnHedges. This is just a cherry on a corpse.

Michael West, a very good journalist, reports stories that the old media are too lazy, too incompetent or - worst of all - too timid to cover.

Gabe Einhorn originally posted Austin’s full name. Jews are all trying to lie in unison and say Austin doxxed himself. You can go check the edit history on the post for yourself- first Einhorn posted full name. Then he edited it. Then the cofounder of Palantir told him to be a strong Jew- meaning dox the 19 year old and make an example of him. Einhorn agreed. And now he’s doing Fox News tours, it’s plastered all over all of mainstream media, and Jews are harassing Austin’s family and even harassing other unrelated people with the same name. Way to make an example of him- you’ve shown the whole world that he was entirely correct to not want to work for a Jew. Look at yourselves.

The last sentence is the real meat and potatoes of this. What's being promoted as a 'social media ban for children', is really an ID check for every adult.

One of the greatest threats to internet freedom and privacy are these manipulative laws, now spreading, that force people to prove they're of a certain age to use social media platforms and other sites. The UK Government, naturally, is now seeking this. The defense of these laws is emotionally powerful by appealing to child protection, but the real goal is online surveillance, an end to anonymity, and control over political content that young people can access. Few have done a better job reporting on these tyrannical threats than @TaylorLorenz. Read this:

US sanctions. Here it what you need to know. In the clearest words I have on the matter.

There has never been a more perfect metaphor. He didn’t drain the swamp, he literally installed one.

Be appalled and scared of One Nation's ascent all you want. I am. But don't let it convince you that Australia doesn't already have a right-wing racist billionaire-controlled government. That's our resting heart rate as a nation, we've just normalised a specific variety of it.

Speaking as a former pool operator. Painting the bottom of a shallow pool exposed to direct sunlight that's surrounded by trees dark blue simply creates the perfect conditions for algae to bloom lmao. This is the perfect exemplar for Trumps presidency.

if you squint at the word trillion it looks like guillotine
