Just watched the Insiders on the ABC.

There was a nano-second graphic depicting Australia wide energy prices with WA on $25 and SA on $79 dollars and other states at various multiples of the WA price, quite a shocking data set if anybody was allowed time to even read it!

I have known for a while that the eastern states businesses and media make extensive efforts to hide the WA/eastern states price disparity from the people in the east, but this subliminal data flick takes it to a whole new level.

This was soon followed by another bullshit graphic depicting how immigration shot up after COVID.

As immigration stopped virtually during COVID this is a completely misrepresentation and manipulative us of immigration data.

The decline of the ABC as a credible news source is complete!

Leni Riefenstahl will be pleased it has now become just another Murdoch clone.

O' yeah. It's been decling for a few years. Piece by piece as the funding came/comes from more private sources (or so I'm told by credible sources in film and television). Good PSA here. More people need to get wise and support the likes of Micheal West Media/The West Report & Jordan Shanks/Friendly Jordies.
