it's time for the media to tell us the truth

Murdoch editors can't tell us the truth
Rupert would sack them if they did, so
the Australian and Sydney Telegraph
paint Abbott as a saviour and paint
Labor and the unions as demons.

But Fairfax papers and the ABC
give both sides of politics a
fair go. Liberals see that as
a monstrous distortion
as they don't control
editorial content.

Gina Rinehart bought up Fairfax shares
to control editors and journalists, but
the Fairfax board would not abandon
editorial independence. Gina spat
the dummy and sold her shares.

Below is a clip from "The Paper". I love the part where
(after much tribulation) a young photographer did
get the shot that made the front page and says
"I Got It". Much is wrong with the world.

But freedom of the press and youthful enthusiasm
to seek and publish the truth can liberate us from
government, military and corporate evasions,
spin, red herrings and bare-faced lies.
