Finally after watching numerous promos about Sky News I switched over to see what the hype was about. A panel of presenters were discussing current political events.
My first impression was that I was watching a satirical comedy show, so I called to my wife to come and have a good laugh. Almost immediately she said, I don’t think this is comedy – these people are actually serious, and the horrible truth began to dawn on me.
We watched on in wonderment and then received a stern lecture from Andrew Bolt about ABC bias, cultural Marxists, left-wing agendas, lack of free speech, the great global warming conspiracy, and Aboriginal people not being black enough to be Aboriginal (a real charmer).
These people are so full of their own misguided right-wing ideology they actually seem to believe their own bullshit. After being subjected to a constant barrage of conspiratorial theories, ‘fake news’ and ‘alternative facts’ we were left in a somewhat traumatised state and unanimously decided to stick with OUR ABC for unbiased news.
You have said it all. Those privileged few who represent wealth and the retention thereof for the benefit of the few refuse to go away. They have a delusion that self wealth translates into wealth for the everyone. The fantasy of neo liberalism. It is otherwise known as greed wearing a blindfold.
