    It’s Rupert Murdoch (and his bastard spawn Lachlan), owner of Fox News, The Sun, Sky News Australia, and more. The master of misinformation, sensationalism, and ragebait. He’s been doing this everywhere for such a long time now.

      The master of misinformation, sensationalism, and ragebait.

      It’s not even really that good. It’s just everywhere. Flip on your TV, turn on the radio, pop open a browser, and you’re hit with a legion of professional reactionaries screaming “Whitetopia Has Fallen! Brown Menace End Times Are Upon Us!”

      There is no longer anything resembling “normal” news. It’s just wall-to-wall cop worship, racism, and crime hysteria.
