Payback. I criticised The Australian. Now I must pay

2. Murdoch controls 70% of the print media in Australia.

And right-wingers control all the commercial radio networks. Only the major
public broadcaster, the ABC, gives a different slant to news and current affairs
(and is therefore labelled as "pinko" by conservatives). But although a majority of Australians will tell pollsters that they trust the ABC more than the commercial networks, their ratings are pretty low, so that trust doesn't translate into regular viewers.

The success of the media campaigns against action on climate change illustrates how many people get their information from these sources and receive it uncritically. Sadly, the majority of the Australian population probably have a similar mentality to those who get their opinions from Faux News, and they won't bother to go the source of articles like this (ABC online).
