A foreign-owned media empire not only shaping the housing debate, but profiting directly from it?
Murdoch’s News Corp now owns real estate listings, mortgage platforms, property data firms and most of the media megaphone in this country — and they’re using that platform to steer the national housing conversation in ways that just so happen to benefit... themselves.
It’s no longer just bias — it’s vertical integration of propaganda and profit. A single company now helps drive housing policy outcomes by flooding the public sphere with editorials, headlines, and slanted coverage — while quietly monetising the very market conditions it helps create.
Where are the regulators? Where’s the outrage? Why is a foreign-controlled corporation allowed to manipulate both sides of the ledger — public opinion and private finance — while pretending it’s just journalism?
This is not a free press — this is a real estate racket with a printing press.

Survey finds Australians think Welcome to Country ceremonies are divisive

[No link to Daily Telegraph article]

That's what you get for surveying Daily Telegraph readers after poisoning their minds for years with racist propaganda from RWNJ media.

Seriously, those racist fools at News Corp are so bitter about showing the slightest bit of respect to Indigenous people. Talk of Welcome to Country makes them clutch their pearls in fear and recite Peter Dutton's words.

@fixatedpersonsunit

Totally agree & think this shift in power (biggest losers being commercial old media) needs to be explored more… it’s a big change in some thinking (some previously set-in-cement assumptions that have conditioned a lot of actions). John Quiggin refers to it as: “the exposure of Newscorp as a paper tiger”.

If News Corp - yes, News Corp - are running op-eds like this, the night after Dutton allegedly won the Channel 9 debate, Spud doesn't have a hope in hell.

Might have to read news.com.au more often!

Perplexity blasts media as ‘adversarial’ in response to copyright lawsuit

Perplexity argues that news organizations like News Corp that have filed lawsuits against AI companies “prefer to live in a world where publicly reported facts are owned by corporations, and no one can do anything with those publicly reported facts without paying a toll.”

@Mediagazer This is an incredibly lame article from #Axios ! It says there's a debate about whether authors are benefiting, and the link it shares clearly states NO AUTHORS are being notified about their publishers' deals w/ Spotify. So Both are corporate leeches ! That's not a "debate" that's the usual superhighway #plunderfuckery ! We all know what Spotify and the Data + Publisher giants are usually doing ! #Boycott #Spotify ! And #Newscorp + #Harpercollins too.
