Comment on Are we going down the same path as US politics?

The ABC is somewhat neutral, and 10 seem to be Liberal-leaning. No left-wing/Labor biased media to balance the rest and people’s trust in the impartiality of “the news” will only lead us further down this route

I never used to care about politics (you can thank the NBN debacle for opening my eyes), but its so hard to watch anything on free to air TV without noticing the massive positive bias towards the Liberals now. Everything is worded to ensure you take away the message they are pushing, as opposed to learning the facts. Half the news stories just end up as advertorials for Liberal policy with no balance or critique. Its no wonder people who dont really give a shit end up so anti-Labor/Greens without even realising why.
Was kinda happier being oblivious tbh.

I sometimes watch friendlyjordies but I have to take a break because it makes me feel really hopeless about society

Power of TV is waning, younger generation live out social media, not TV. So things are going to turn worse.
