News Corp influenced the Election, just not the way it wanted

While trying to drown Australia, News Corp sealed the fate of its political allies and can help Labour win, Dr Victoria Fielding writes.

Labor’s effects of the historical election victory continue to echo throughout the country, Suggestions made Conclusion, News Corp Now It has a strong impact on Australian democracy.

I believe News Corp has a strong impact on the election result, not just as he wants. The reason for this is that News Corp helps to create Trumpist-Liberal and National Movement, revealing a harsh, toxic way of doing politics, a movement that is well rejected by the Australian people. So, News Corp accidentally helped to win the Labor Party.

One of the reasons People are arguing This News Corp no longer has an influence, because Australia’s media view changes just like all over the world. Argument, especially younger demographic features close the “mainstream media” and instead of “news” from social media, Strong impressiveSome of them use their journalism styles, but they present the news in a much more social friendly way.

This argument ignores the impact of mainstream outlets on the media ecosystem, such as News Corp, on a ecosystem that encompasses and strengthens and strengthens both the competitor mainstream outlets and what is mentioned in the old media, including ABC. News Corp affects not only the agenda of the mainstream media competitors, but also the downward social media speech.

The truth is, most social media, “impressive” and audiences, not journalists who offer facts, but sharing ideas. These views are usually related to the issues and events written in the mainstream news, and therefore maintain the mainstream media ideas and continue to determine the agenda in another part of the ecosystem.

Indeed, the debate on the rise and popularity of social media impressives continues to be included in the original media “impressive ve and being very effective in the right -wing media ecosystem and right -wing policies.

Thanks to this lens, the direct impact on News Corp’s media discourse is clear. News Corp has the majority share and broadcasting of the newspaper reader Sky News. These sales points not only have a strong asset in traditional media, but also have a great existence on digital and social media platforms, such as the Sky News’ YouTube channel, which receives millions of views.

In addition to this effect, people who buy their news from social media ”often consume mainstream media agendas and speaking points without realizing where they come from.

This effect is sampled by the effect Peter ShamshiriWho said the extremely popular Trump Podcaster Joe Rogan:

‘Rogan and his first, low information voters targeting right -wing propagandists; Right information voters targeted by right -wing propaganda. Rogan is in the downward flow of a pre -existing right -wing media ecosystem that aims for fools like him. He is the proliferator of the right -wing propaganda, of course, but first a consumer. ‘

RIGHT propaganda, liberal party and cash campaign outfit with News Corp pumped uninterrupted To go forwardIt is an impact campaign in the media ecosystem. This propaganda of course affects Australian voters.

This effect is especially open between the liberal national base. Surprisingly sincere momentold liberal strategist Tony Barry He explained how the liberal branch members were caught by the sky after the dark propaganda machine.

This insight suggests that News Corp directly affects the culture and political priorities of liberal party members.

Most importantly, there is nothing close to this power to the left of the media spectrum, where News Corp’s news and comments blends right -wing propaganda in a more reminiscent of traditional journalism. News Corp right wing megaphone so that the Australian media view and if you do not have a flat playground in the public sphere.

Left parties and politicians should compete not only with their political competitors, but also with the media. Australia has an unequal media ecosystem due to its nature, that is, by nature, we have an unequal democracy.

In addition to this powerful direct media influence, News Corp has an equally strong indirect impact on Australian politics, taking part in liberal and national parties. This was investigated by close and usually by toxic relationship Saturday veteranJason Koutsoukis explaining how the former liberal prime minister is Tony Abbott and former Chief of General Staff, now News Corp commentator, Peta credlinStay to be king producers behind the scenes in the Liberal Party.

Most importantly, the influence of Abbott and Credlin is the use of Trumpist as much as possible to pushing the liberal party to the right-the use of the media power to scare, threaten and discipline anyone who does not put Abbott-Credlin hard-right line.

This capture by Hardight players shows how the news Corp uses the same culture war, fear -opening methods as it uses in the Australian people to capture the right wing of Australian politics.

All this means that it would be incredibly naive to think that News Corp has no effect on Australian politics. News Corp personnel are not foreigners with old technology platforms, talking to them. They are at the center of right -wing politics, media and culture, the public discourse that affects discussed, advanced or attacked policies and voting behavior.

So, what happened in the May elections? I believe that News Corp strongly contributes to the shadow of liberal-nationalities and contributes to this hard-right return back to his backfire. Trump is exposed as a dangerous chaos manufacturer, News Corp and proceed Together weakened the old opposition leader Peter DuttonThe campaign, likening him as cocoon as possible.

The liberals are not a victim of news Corp, but a common conspirator. Maybe there was a moment from the former prime minister Scott Morrison Some liberals lost their election 2022, when he thought that the hard -right game book may not be the best way to the future. However, these doubts often came from the cohort of moderates who lost their seats to Teals.

Responsible hard dutton and success of the cultural fee, horror carrier news Corp-Advance-Liberal Game Book in 2023 Sound referendumIn 2025, it was a steam for the liberal party to carry out a Trumpist attack on Australia.

Andrew Hastie in ABCs Four corners When the liberals admitted that the “no” campaign attacked the sound, the silent lice would help them defeat the Labor Party in the 2025 elections. Liberal and national deputies still seem crusted that this sadist political strategy does not work.

As I wrote in the election washing before, it is my opinion that the election took place before the full horror of Trump’s second period was known, despite the dutton’s grieving campaign and the personal popularity of Dutton’s personal popularity. Indeed, ABCs on February 16 title He screamed: According to the Yougov survey, Peter Dutton is likely to be the next prime minister. ‘

Like GuardianThe survey audience showed that this questionnaire was Dutton’s high point, and its vote has been collapsed throughout the country since then. The more he knows Dutton, the more he doesn’t like him. However, I do not think that you can think of how much the people should “know” the equivalence with Trump and how the people should “know”.

The elections are always won or lost in the “vibe ve, and News Corp has always played a major role in determining the tone of this air. Just as News Corp’s liberals’ election wins-fear campaigns against the worker party-traditionally affected, this time, culture accusations and fear campaigns created mass fear about the dangers of holding the cruel, fear-changing, cultural-fighting Trumpists responsible.

All this means that Dutton’s loss is also News Corp. I found it especially satisfactory to read Saturday veteran Due to the extreme estimates of Dutton and the popularity of the liberals, Dutton thought that the liberals had a chance to force the minority government to the minority government. In addition, the selection of 7.7 percent in Dickson did not expect the election tidal wave.

Dutton was undoubtedly set to Sky News Hack Sharri MarksonA week after the election, he votes from private inside, Which claimed The liberals were “in the survey position ..

So, what’s next to the Liberal-Nws Corp-Advance Pincer movement? New opposition leader Sussan Ley Claims that he wants to modernize the liberal party. Still when asked Saturday veteranKaren Barlow, if this means an end ‘Culture Wars and Trumpish Fights Welcome to Country Ceremonies, Australian Day and School curriculum’Defined as Ley ‘No base’.

Ley answered:

“The so -called cultural wars will always be a feature of the Australian landscape.”

News Corp will still be when shooting the political strings of the liberal party.
