Our Intolerant Media

Our Intolerant Media

Veteran journalist Kerry O’Brien recently said, "The health of the democracy can partly be measured by the health of its media and I don't think the health of our government, of our democracy, is great right now… I don't think our politics is in a great state and I don't think our media is in a great state."[1] I fully agree.

Like Hydra infiltrating Shield in “Captain America - The Winter Soldier,” the enemies of freedom seem to have infiltrated our media, institutions and political elite in Australia. This infiltration has reached such a critical mass that the boldness in the political interference, pro-social-engineering, left-wing bias, disregard for democracy, and anti-Western Civilization is no less than what one would expect from an intolerant, authoritarian ideological movement out to remove all those who oppose them.

The war of world views is upon us and is dividing Australian society as if we were in a civil war without guns. So far the infiltrators are winning and are increasing their positions of influence throughout Australia, not just in the media, along with a correlating increase in the number and size of big sticks they control, and are anxious to use.

This ideological coup in Australia has the potential to take away the hard won freedoms we have grown complacent in taking for granted. The stakes really are that high. People never give up their freedom willingly do they? It has to be taken from them by deceit or force. Our freedom is under imminent threat of being taken by deceit.
