Privatised Corporate Media has become the business of “creating and not reporting news”. Facts and their verification fail to even begin to be required in favor of imagination. Profit is the goal and ratings the means to achieve it in a market where the money larely flows from a minority at the top down and not from the majority at the bottom up. Peter Costello has pivoted Ch9 to the Murdoch’s business model to hopefully attract a larger portion of that cash flow from the usual suspects. Red Alert is just an example of new and normalised sensationalism and propaganda sold to us as news.
The backlash over Nine Entertainment’s “Reds Under the Beds” campaign continues as they defend their stories by pointing to “panel of experts”. Who are these experts?

Peter Hartcher has now been into war talk and urging war on China for years courtesy of his stewardship of the Sydney Morning Herald’s Foreign Affairs editorship.
People should get this straight. The Sydney Morning Herald and the Age are editorialising in favour of a war between Australia and China.
The Herald and the Age, unbelievably, are countenancing a war with China. And not just countenancing, urging a war with China.
The editor of the Herald, Bevan Shields, should hang his head in shame for encouraging the publication of this provocative and dangerous rubbish.
As Nine newspapers attempt to spread panic about a Chinese invasion, Professor John Quiggin explains why the logistics of such an event happening are unrealistic.

Costello’s Media wants part of that money and is competing with Murdoch for it.
Two foreign governments, those of the U.S. in particular, but also the U.K., have significant financial inputs into ASPI. ASPI also has extensive links with arms manufacturers, of which just a few are listed on its own site.

Today’s Sydney Morning Herald and The Age front page stories on Australia’s supposed war risk with China represents the most egregious and provocative news presentation of any newspaper I have witnessed in over fifty years of active public life.
