Our Readers Have Champagne Tastes but the BFD Has a Beer Budget

Last year Stuff reported on the extent of media bludging from government troughs. It is eye-watering just how much taxpayer coin some media organisations have availed themselves of.

Mainstream media reporting on the Royal Commission into Institutional Responses to Child Sexual Abuse, especially from the ABC, focussed almost exclusively on the damning accusations against churches. This was not unmerited — but the one-eyed hyper-focus of the media left the bigger picture entirely obscured. There is no doubt that not

The EU has announced that it will ban the Russian news channels RT and Sputnik. This is because, they say, the channels are spouting pro-Kremlin propaganda. Which is without a doubt true. So, now all EU citizens will be able to rely on is pro-EU and Washington propaganda. (That’s
