And Yet More Wholesale Pro-Liberal/National Media Propaganda/Protection

Howdy dear availees...sounding not un-like that proverbial broken ol' record I know, yet again it's been 8-9 days since we last posted, and if you told me it was 3-4 I'd believe ya'...been a very confronting time with the South Australian State Election last weekend...(resulting in a landslide/massacre Labor win over the first-term Liberal government, rather reminiscent of the recent West Australian pro-Labor/anti-Liberal carnage-Ed)...indeed, leaving the Liberals the third party in WA, 'cos the Nationals hold more seats than the Libs, and there's no 'Coalition' in WA...(and therefore the Nats are the official Opposition, with Libs 3rd-Ed)...yep, and leading to that hilarious exchange last week where-in our illustrious leader PM Scott 'Scummo' Morrison was in WA furiously sucking-up to Labor Premier Mark McGowan, desperately trying to 1) deny the realities of his (Scummo's) years of abuse/criticism of WA and 2) now align himself with the uber-popular Premier...a journo asked Scummo if he'd met with the WA Opposition leader and Scummo said 'yep, I met with Dr Honey', to which the journo replies, 'he's not the Opposition leader'...(and then Scummo tried to weasel his way out of it-Ed)...indeed...(and just 'cos it's so delightfully Scummo, here's the actual exchange, cut-'n'-pasted from The West Australian newspaper-Ed)...*** 

But things later turned awkward when Mr Morrison was asked whether he had also met with the        state Opposition leader, Nationals MP Mia Davies.

“What about the state opposition, why aren’t you meeting with the state Opposition leader?” a reporter asked.

“I did, I have, I saw Dr Honey yesterday,” Mr Morrison said, referring to Leader of the WA Liberal Party David Honey.

“Dr Honey is not the Opposition leader,” the reporter informed him.

“Sorry,” Mr Morrison started to say.

“Mia Davies is the state opposition leader,” the reporter continued.

“Well I’m talking about the Liberal leader, I met with the Liberal leader when I’m in town,” Mr Morrison said.

***Whilst it is the case/fact that the MSM are pathetically complicit/compliant with Scummo, allowing him to spew bare-faced lies with absolute impunity, and he knows that and so he does that...(it's a self-perpetuating cycle of collusion and deceit, whereby the electorate is ruthlessly and relentlessly manipulated-Ed)...indeed, but Scummo is very well-practised in the pattern of language that gives credibility to his lies/deceits/denials, so because it's such a good example of how Scummo manipulates language, here's the link to a thread by Ronni Salt that carefully explains it...

And I wamso pissed-off to read these bleedin'-heart Right Wingers calling-out us relative Lefties for complaining about the chronically incestuous relationship between the MSM and the Scummo LNP...it is not balance, for shreck sake, to allow Scummo et al to just spew base deceits into the ether, right into our ever-suffering faces, and not call him/them out on a single thing...(nor is it 'just journalism' to parrot LNP talking points/announcements/claims/accusations, citing/regurgitating them as facts, and to then re-present them as facts in the form of gotcha'-style questions to Labor/Greens/Independents-Ed)...exactly, this habit/agenda of using unsubstantiated and often quite erroneous/false/deceitful LNP claims/statements as questions gives the average punter the impression that the subject matter is fact/correct...(and that right there is the intended manipulation, give it a false credibility by 1) not initially challenging it, and then 2) reproducing is as 'fact'-Ed)...spot on...and it's reached a whole new level of LNP/MSM co-operation with the looming May 2022 Election looking increasingly like a LNP loss...

The reason that us 'Lefties' remark about the occasional interview/story that does actually challenge the LNP and/or their narrative/propaganda, is because such stories/interviews are so few and so far between that they have become, by definition, 'remarkable'.

And so to the most recent and blatant exercise in one-way pro-LNP propaganda being regurgitated and proliferated by the MSM, particularly the ABC...remember dear availees that we covered this behaviour/agenda in the recent post Just More Blatant ABC Pro-LNP Machinations (10 March 2022)...this past fortnight it has been the issue of the death of Labor Senator Kimberley Kitching from what was apparently a heart attack...what started as a classic Murdoch Media beat-up about about how 'Labor's Factional Bullying Was Responsible', became 'The Story' as the rest of the rankly complicit pro-LNP Media, ABC included, dutifully lapped-up that agenda...without any proof, a woman's death was immediately and grossly politicised by the LNP and their MSM courtiers, and used to try and 1) distract away from multiple LNP failings and/or rorts...(or as with the flooding disaster and related pro-LNP biased 'Emergency Support', etc-Ed)...yep, and 2) drag down the increasingly popular Labor Party...and the MSM have dutifully played their pro-LNP part, heaping base conjecture upon scurrilous supposition, completely ignoring and even lying about her family's requests to butt out at least until after her funeral...    

Just a coupla' days ago I heard the ABC News 24 Radio spend 10mins+ forensically dissecting Labor's factional issues and how problematic they were, etc...(and not a single word about the anti-Democratic shizzle-storm in the NSW Liberals, where-in Scummo et al have come plowing-in over the top of the state executive to force Scummo's 'Captain's Picks' on several critical electorates?-Ed)...exactly! not one bloody word...I recall years ago reading about Senator Kitching's very dodgy Right Wing associations, eg, Andrew Bolt, and her husbands fraudulent behaviour and dodging-off overseas to avoid charges/investigation, etc, etc...at first couldn't remember where, but it didn't take long to find 'cos it turns out that it's the most excellent Kangaroo Court of Australia (Shane Dowling) covered this stuff in detail and at length back in 2015/16 and repeatedly since...rather than spend paragraphs trying to adequately explain it, here's the link to those stories...it's relevant given how the MSM has tried so hard to present Ms Kitching as a faultless, powerless victim, unfairly harrassed and bullied to her premature demise...

Another classic real-time example...NSW Liberal Gareth Ward has been suspended from Parliament...(albeit on full pay and allowances-Ed)...sure, but he's effectively been forced out, charged with multiple Sexual Assault charges against young men, one a teenager, and the very limited reportage of this in the Murdoch media has 'included' not actually mentioning that he was/is a Liberal...then it emerges that former Premier Gladys Berejiklian knew about the pending charges 2 years ago...(and sat on that news because it was politically expedient?-Ed)..again exactly...(and all of the stuff with the embarrassing collapse/withdrawal of NSW Police Fixated Persons politically-motivated/generated attack on FriendlyJordies producer Kristo Langker, not a bloody word in the MSM as far as I'm aware-Ed)...I reckon you're right, but too easy to check, just Interweb search it...(bear with me a sec.........ummm, there's a coupla mentions, but that doesn't detail whether they were printed/aired or just on-line-Ed)...well some is better than nuthin', which is what I expected, but it's clearly received very limited coverage for such a critically important incident/story...(what I haven't seen is any discussion reportage of the FJ piece about Liberal MP Peter Dutton's very dodgy dealings with various dodgy characters/businesses, a collective dodginess that looks remarkably like a high-end drug smuggling operation-Ed)...now imagine that it was/is a Labor Minister in the frame...(Murdoch/Fairfax et al screeching OUTRAGE and demanding INQUIRY, on every front page, for weeks?-Ed)...exactly...

Arguably the worst, the most glaringly complicit act of the MSM, is this week's Scummo bare-faced lie...("this weeks"? you mean today's, nay, this hour's-Ed)...fair call, Scummo is by definition a Pathological Liar, quite literally actually incapable of even the most simple Truths...(one whom lies at all times and about all things, even when it is completely unnecessary-Ed)...indeed...(I mean, when Ash Barty retired from tennis, Scummo tweeted that he had "spoken" to her, when he had actually left a text message-Ed)...yep, lying for the sake of lying, every conceivable deceit to try and pump-up his fully-confected self image...just today he was trying to infer that today he had personally spoken to the Solomon's Island PM Sogavare, but when put on the spot with a specific question, he tried to back-track about how 'we're in constant contact with them', etc...caught-out in a lie, he refuses to concede and likely just lies again...(and last week he was lying through his ugly, jagged teeth, attacking Labor leader Anthony 'Eggs Over' Albanese for slimming-down and styling-up, stating that he, Scummo' "haven't changed my glasses", etc, when yes he had, repeatedly-Ed)...it was classic Scummo lies and A1 Gaslighting, openly stating that he doesn't pretend to be things that he's not...(what?!!! Captain Cosplay the Part-Time Performative PM who drives trucks, tanks, race cars, washes hair, welds without goggles, etc, etc, ad infinitum, and spends more time being a carefully choreographed photo-op Daggy-Dad Home Handyman Curry Cooker...he doesn't pretend to be things he ain't?...shreck me-Ed)...what can I say... 

But the biggie in a litany of lies and gaslighting, in just one very long week in the life of a pathological liar, arguably his best effort was saved for his bestie, Hillsong (Pentecostal) leader Brian 'I Am The Problem' Houston...(the same Brian whom Scummo has repeatedly identified as a "mentor" and close friend, etc, including stating it in Parliament?-Ed)...that's him...(who Scummo tried to get invited to the White House but whom the WH rejected?-Ed)...yep...(that Scummo also lied and gaslighted about, dismissing relevant questions as gossip/rumour that he wasn't going to comment on?-Ed)...liar gotta' lie...(mmm, what's Brian mate upto these days?-Ed)...well, when he's not covering-up paedophile abuse by his father, and finally getting charged for it, he's apparently harassing women and/or having 'alleged' affairs, and getting dumped (quitting?) the 'Ministry'...(and Scummo's response to his betsies meteoric demise?-Ed)..."haven't been there for 15 years, I go to another church, as you all know"...(wow, way to be unwaveringly loyal to a pal in trouble-Ed)...I know right, but it gets better...(it always does with Scummo-Ed)...well, just before the Federal Election in 2019 he was carefully photo-opped on stage at Hillsong, holding hands with the missus, Jenny 'The AskWife 2022', and right there with them, that very naughty boy Brian...(and of course the 'journos' leapt on this blatant lie and ripped Scummo a new one?-Ed)...what do you think?...(crickets?-Ed)...more like 'cricket', singular, not nuthin', not one word...  

And in telling that lie was the the further lie that he bailed out of partway through...(namely?-Ed)..he started to say 'I just found out today like you did', but either he was so rattled that he skipped mid-sentence to the lie about not going there for 15 years...(maybe he remembered that he tried that same lie about the Brittany Higgins 'Alleged Rape', saying he only found out in February 2021, and then via the media reports, as and when everyone else did, etc, but then mistakenly quoted the actual date from April 2019 when he actually knew-Ed)...and then tried to back-track/cover-up his self-exposed lie by saying that he had 'mis-spoke' February 2021 as April 2019...(and so blatantly, clearly a lie, right there in Parliament, in the full gaze of cameras, etc, everything about his manner and dis-ease illustrated that he was lying, and from the MSM? best part of sweet bugger all-Ed)...yep, lies within lies, lie-upon-lie, cannot speak without lying...it's why he is known internationally as The Liar From The Shire...and he gets away with it locally because he doesn't get held to account by the media, and he knows that, he knows it's not going to happen, and it becomes an escalating self-perpetuating cycle of Scummo's lies and MSM protection/collusion...he knows his lies will go unchallenged so he is emboldened to lie at all times and about all things...   

Just For Laughs:...saw a tweet of someone putting a 'Peter Dutton - Delivering for Dickson' flyer/pamphlet thingy through a shredder...and had all the pun-guns firing because all I saw was 'Living For Dicks'...(hey, me too, but I went with 'Living For Dicks On Toast'-Ed)...nice...and if one were so inclined, one could have gone with Spuddo's other soon to be infamous nickname...(other than 'The Spud', 'cos he looks like a potato?-Ed)...yeah, and one inspired by his illustrious leader and others in the LNP, eg, PM Scott 'Scummo' Morrison's self-anointed 'Man Of The People/Daggy Dad' moniker of 'Scomo'...(and Peter's would beee?-Ed)...isn't it obvious, 'Pedo'...(ooo, that's a bit unfortunate-Ed)...ain't it though...and 'cos Spuddo's got such a thin skin, as evidenced by his recent 'Defamation sueing' of a Twitterer, just wanna' make clear we ain't accusing him of anything relating to Child Abuse, etc, it's just a mocking joke...(yeah, sure, but there was that stuff with Petey issuing dodgy/corrupt 'Visas for Au-pairs', and related concerns it was effectively actually sex-trafficking of young women-Ed)...yeah fair enough, there is all that, that did happen, and those are valid concerns/issues, but I'm not sure that there was any direct link to Child Abuse specifically...

Tomorrow: Why I Was So Traumatised By This SA Election

Ain't gunna' hurt to bump that Farcical Aquatic Recreation Centre (FARC) post 'cos it ain't goin' nowhere...(well it's cost is goin' places, if up by leaps and bounds is a direction/place-Ed)...fair call, these latest 'further delays' guarantee yet more cost increases...(what does one call a massive blow-out that then itself blows-out further?-Ed)...a standard Mt Gambier City Council Project?...(nice one centurion-Ed)...

I am Nick Fletcher and this is my blog...cheers and laters...
