Narrative aside, Newscorp owns 100% of print media in Queensland and 70% Australia wide. Murdoch’s empire engages in anticompetitive practices destroying competition in Australia.

Newscorp’s power corrupts the political landscape as well, ousting multiple Australian Prime Ministers (Labor and Liberal), as recently heard by PM Kevin Rudd at the Enquiry Into Media Diversity. https://youtu.be/Ap_LuSQ5NSc?t=953 Newscorp has created an atmosphere of fear in the political landscape and those who do not obey, are dismembered slowly but surely.

In my opinion, it’s an absolute crisis with media in Australia lulling people into uneducated and misinformed opinions, often pandering to fear whilst often exploiting minorities for headlines.

We need to act now to fix it.

I'm all for exposing and thwarting anti competitive practices but I want to see this happen on both sides of the spectrum.

That is exactly what I called for. The US media ownership rules were designed to create a level playing field, and news outlets on both sides of the political spectrum currently fall afoul of the old standards.

What spectrum are you referring to?
