    One of the few news outlets not dancing to Murdoch's tune.

      • +8

        Murdoch uses his media power to look after his own interests, nothing more. Some idiots believe him.

        You are the one the brought the voice into it, completely irrelevant.

            What would you know what inner city suburb do you live in? Manly?

            If Manly is inner city what's outer city in your mind? Dubbo?

        Dutton is not on Murdoch's level. Murdoch actually makes a difference (not a good one). Dutton is a divisive nobody with no ideas, no policies and no chance. He'll be an ex LNP leader soon enough, the natives are already restless.

        At least the extreme left isn't forced to pay for it, unlike those on the right, who are forced to pay for the extreme left ABC! I know that's a hard concept for the lefties to understand, but it's a fact!

          Tell us you haven't watched the ABC since Ita Buttrose took it over without saying you haven't watched it since then.

          Extreme left? Have you ever watched David Speers?

  • How much does it cost at a newsagent? $480 per year divided by, I will say 50 - don't know if they take any breaks = $9.60

    "Sky news= vast majority of Australians agree with most of their content."

    That explains their phenomenal ratings.

        Oh, they've given up on independent ratings and now do it themselves - brilliant.

        • Just under 1 in 2 people watch/engage Sky News every month - seems legit.

          • @Randolph Duke: Seems legit. Good grief.

            From the article "The data comes from the new Sky News Australia Audience Study 2023, which unpacks consumers’ news consumption habits and preferences."

            In other words, sky is doing it's own survey. Of course the numbers are good. They can bias the questions however they like.

        Using this metric, the vast majority of people think Baby Shark is the best song.

        I'll give it to Sky, their digital strategy demolishes every other network out there. They need it though, year on year Foxtel lost 130k subscribers and Foxtel Now lost 25k subscribers according to their last financial statements. News Corp Australia revenues were down 10% as well on lower advertising revenue. Tough times for the news source that the vast majority of Australians agree with.

          'Tough times for the news source that the vast majority of Australians agree with.'

          in other news I've read that Murdoch media mainly appeals to angry old white people who are a shrinking minority - perhaps reflected in the shrinking sales you described.

          Rupert Murdoch apparently called DJTrump an effing idiot and wanted to ignore him - until he saw his online customer base shrinking rapidly when he went against the Trump, then jumped back on board

          it's all about money, honey. Rupert follows the money.

          there is an often-mistaken human tendency to assume a majority of people think like me - e.g. those who expected Gough Whitlam would win re-election after the 1973 dismissal - or those who stormed the US Congress after Trump claimed the election had been stolen.

    Thanks, OP. Signed up. Supporting free and independent media is one of our most important civic actions.

  • Cheers OP - it's nice to read a long form print news paper.

    Anyone know how the cancellation works? That's usually where they get you. There doesn't seem to be an option for cancelling the auto-renew in advance - instead they refund any unused portion of the subscription cost.

    'Weekly magazine at $1 per week for first quarter (12 issues), then reverts to normal price at $120/qtr' - deal seems to be a paper printed magazine delivered to your home address once a week - first for $1 a week, then $10 a week

    I remember newspapers - I used to read them for free in my local library - which has since changed to a DIY-self-service checkout and return facility with no newspapers to be seen

    I read The Guardian web version daily online - last paid $140 for the year (not a quarter) back in January - works for me - some confusion is reading comments from UK-centric folk assuming everyone is in the UK, and the odd comment from someone in the US describing their different perspective.

    As for the to-and-fro about left-right prejudice - we tend to start with our prejudice, and then accept only information that supports it, while rejecting anything to the contrary.

    here's something I just read - right fighters will of course ignore it - 'Dutton is not seeking the votes of people who fact check or read checked facts or even think much – just those whose prejudices he can appeal to, those who think that for every large, complex problem, there is a simple solution, not minding that it is wrong' - https://michaelwest.com.au/peter-dutton-goes-the-full-trump/

      The Guardian just ignore facts or issues that don't fit with their ideology. Their readers just have different prejudices and equally simple solutions to complex problems. Read widely to get all the facts and perspectives

    You may be able to get this for free (ebook version) through your local library and the PressReader app. Loads more too.

    I gave up on them though due to pro Hamas propaganda.

      Uhhhh, anti-colonialism and anti-genocide isn't the same as pro-Hamas.

        They're pro genocide against Israel dude. Which isn't a colony, but Australia was and is one of the best countries on Earth as a result.

        • Can you source a single 'pro genocide against Israel' article? There's an active genocide (like, an actual one - not a figurative one) in Gaza being committed by the Israeli state if that's what you're referring to?

          Or are you referring to the attack on civilians on a single date last year by Hamas, in response to decades of colonial aggression from the Israeli state?

          And yes - Australia is an amazing country, in spite of its past genocide of (and continued institutionalised disregard for) the original Australians.

          • -3

            @OfTheOverflow: Hamas have the destruction of Israel in its constitution. Hamas tortured, raped and murdered jews on Oct 7 for no other reason that genocidal intent. Defending themselves against maniacs is not 'genocide' - that is pure Hamas propaganda you have fallen for. The war would be over in a second if Hamas surrendered. If the jews surrendered, Hamas would slaughter them all. You have chosen to fight on the side of pure evil against the only democracy in the middle east.

            And 'colonial aggression' is also propaganda. What country is Israel a 'colony' of? The jews have been there since thousands of years before the New Testament.

                  @Enterz: Please take it as me being flabbergasted at your gullibility and inability to understand the basic definition of genocide — let alone the nuance of geopolitics, the US's historic vassal interest in the region and Israel, and the ongoing murder of thousands of women and children for… Well, no particular reason other than wanting to eliminate an ethnic group that has been repeatedly impeached upon for the last 50 years.

                  What will you tell your children when they ask what you did as the world stood by and allowed this genocide to continue for months on end? 'Yeah I was arguing with a stranger on the internet that it's actually their fault they are were ethnically cleansed'.

                  Hopefully they will judge you harsher than I am for your lack of basic humanity.

                  • -2

                    @OfTheOverflow: Your whole premise is based on believing propaganda though.

                    30,000 people - half of them Hamas members- dying in a war that Gaza started is not genocide. Particularly as Hamas hides among civilians to get them killed for propaganda purposes They started the 'genocide' accusation because Hamas literally are genocidal. It's like when Trump started calling everything 'fake news' after people accused him of spreading fake news

                    The population of Gaza has doubled in 20 years, the number of Palestinians grown by 2 million.

                    The Israelis clearly suck at genocide. "Ethnically cleansed" is another term you don't understand as the Egyptians won't let them leave, so there's no cleansing going on.

                    The war would stop tomorrow if Hamas surrendered. That's all they have to do to stop civilians getting caught up in the war they started.

                    I'm judging you for being so ill informed you'd support insane evil terrorists over a democracy. It's like supporting the Nazis in WW2 because German civilians were killed.
