When News Corp sponsors a conference for the Arms Industry and Dutton is a featured guest speaker how can we expect our mainstream media to “focus on peace”? Did anyone see this reported in the mainstream?

The fact that Australia is sleepwalking towards a catastrophic war against China has received very welcome and responsible coverage in Pearls and Irritations and other non-mainstream media. The head-in-the-sand stance adopted by much of the mainstream media stands in stark contrast.

It was a most shameful collection of war-mongering articles and images.
