Hate to break it to you @tanya_plibersek but in a world saturated by Murdoch-Stokes-Costello tabloid trash & ABC News failures—all full of lies, misinformation &/or disinformation as well as constant "stoking of division"—social media is my ONLY trusted news source. 🤷♀️ #auspol
@JonesHowdareyou @tanya_plibersek As well as social media there are many good independent news sites. P&I, Michael West, plus Commen Dreams , Counterpunch just to name a few . The MSM is a disaster, most of the time a propoganda outlet . The refusasl to tell the truth about Gaza the most glaring example.
@JonesHowdareyou @tanya_plibersek I find there is much more misinfomation and attempt to divide Australians in the MSM than there is in social media.
@JonesHowdareyou @tanya_plibersek Sadly, a LOT of social media "news" is as dubious if not more so than the standard Murdoch/Packer/Stokes trash.
@JonesHowdareyou @tanya_plibersek Surely you can't be serious?
@JonesHowdareyou @tanya_plibersek We need a MEDIA Royal Commission. This should focus on all areas of modern communication. Social media has its problems too and should be included. The power of print media has lessened , but groups like ADVANCE are moving to social media to spread their message.
