Fake news and its effect on the community

As you understand it... Tisme. And exactly what do you "understand" ? Simply speaking, a number of trolls picking up this revolting garbage and spraying it around to see how much mud can be made to stick ?

And when it gets so ridiculously bad, the Police Commissioner has to step in and categorically state there is absolutely no truth in the smears. Whats the point in that when allegedly sane people can equate the revolting rubbish from MediaWhores with the material from The Guardian and not miss a beat.

And the Trump solution ? Wow ! This is The Liar in Chief. This is worlds greatest fantasist attempting to create a new world based on the Infallible Word of Donald Trump.


Hey look what I found:

The things that you're liable, to read in the bible. It aint necessarily so.
 
Just for the record, basilio has not created any fake accounts to my knowledge, and ASF has fairly sophisticated means for detecting them. I would know if he had.

As a general observation, personal slights and petty provocations do not make for interesting reading. What makes for interesting reading is intelligent, thoughtful, discussion and debate. So can we please focus on the topic at hand and not get sidetracked by irrelevancies, innuendo and personal attacks?

It always pains me to see interesting threads taken off topic and reduced to tit-for-tat slanging matches. It's never productive and always avoidable. So let's not go there please. Thanks.
 
Sophie Mirabella, Geoffery Rush, Alan Jones (defendant).. and others pending I believe.
Okay.

So there are some celebrities voicing their protest via the legal system.

What of those, libelled by the media, whom lack celebrity status?

How do you think those with names, only publicly known via media besmirching, would fare in civil proceedings?

How is a defamed individual (armed only with the quality of representation, afforded by legal aid and/or personal finances), to be expected to counter the persuasive arguments levelled by top shelf QCs, and somehow convince their jury of peers to abandon its entrenched faith in the mainstream media?

Not aware of the details, but it's beside the point. This forum is mainstream with the owner identifiable. You can make defamatory comments on facebook with an anonymous handle and FB denies responsibility for them.
My apologies for overlooking that particular distinction.

It's a problem, but some lawyers do pro bono work or "no win no fee" arrangements.
 
Is this a false or fake video...?


I don't know if it's a fake video or not, but echoes of the Chamberlain case came back as I watched it.

Lindy's apparent disconnection was taken as guilt, somehow the name "Azaria" meant "sacrifice in the desert", that sort of cr@p.

The media can and will beat up anything, and of course there is always the thought "but what if it's true?"

Yes people have been programmed to cry and sob for the crowd like on the movies, but that ain't the real reaction for many in the various scenarios of deep grief, fear, anger and anxiety.

Shocking turn out, remember well our Victorian forensic later finding that the so alleged blood spots put before the court were found to be paint spots.
 
The Madelaine McCann diatribes are just poisonous conspiricay theories confabulated for God know what reasons.

One thing for certain. Some of the main spreaders of these conspricay theories have built up large You Tube audiences which has become quite profitable.
 
Google is censoring, blacklisting and making it difficult to find certain content. I've noticed it for a while now. But even more so in the last month.
 
The good thing about the Dutton issue, is no one is biting, it hasn't rated a mention on the Dutton thread.
http://www.abc.net.au/news/2018-09-...ls-to-sack-peter-dutton-au-pair-saga/10284690

A lot of journalistic impact is visual implication, one just has to look at the pictures attached to the articles, to ascertain the leaning of the post. IMO
But it would be interesting to see the article and its presentation, if Morrison had backed down on supporting Dutton, would the headline be'Morrison throws Dutton under the bus'?

Oops :p
 

O.K I fixed that up, now go and look at the SMH political section online, all negative Lib press.

They never post anything about Labor, maybe because that's because Labor say fluck all, there you go answering my own question.
Why don't they ask silly Billy, how he is going to replace 20,000MW of base load coal generation, to meet his 50% carbon reduction?
Guess it is a hard question, because it will be really hard to do with today's technology.
But hey, let's not let reality get in the way, of opposition party dreams, or vote catching crap.:p
 
Notice a pattern here?

"
In July, the President retweeted a user's video of footage from one of Mr Trump's appearances on World Wrestling Entertainment's programme in 2007. During it, Mr Trump body slams WWE owner Vince McMahon who has the CNN logo superimposed over his face.

He had also suggested that a "fake news trophy” contest should be held as to which television network covers him in the most "dishonest, corrupt and or/distorted" way."
