Talking with an old friend, the topic of ‘communication’ came up, and the question of what is truth? What is the role of the media? How do we distribute, consume and process information?

They say a fish rots from the head. The writer is not sure if it’s true about fish, but it certainly appears so when dealing with the Australian Broadcasting Corporation (ABC). On behalf of 10,000 of our fellow Australians, the Australian Monarchist League (AML) forwarded [...]

Meta platforms are a primary source of news for most Australians. Meta, Facebook’s parent company, is the latest international mega-company to get involved in Australia’s upcoming referendum regarding an Indigenous Voice to Parliament, after Pfizer pledged its support for the Yes campaign earlier this year.

Welcome to part 2 of this three-part essay on media bias. In part 1 we traced the innovations of media technology and concluded that while the technology can’t be biased the operators always are and always have been. Now let’s consider how we as individuals [...]

Welcome to part 1 of this essay on media bias. About five years ago, I woke up to the bias of the ABC, and ever since then I no longer listen to her at home or in the car, unless it's ‘Classic FM’! In this [...]

Earlier this week on the Channel Ten show The Project, comedian Reuben Kaye made a crude joke about Jesus on air and the hosts laughed along. In response, many Christians and Muslims took offence and demanded an apology. Waleed Aly and Sarah Harris have issued [...]

The Australian media regulator, ACMA (Australian Communications and Media Authority), has found that Four Corners, the ABC’s flagship current-affairs program, “materially misled” viewers and breached the ABC’s own code of conduct, which requires accuracy and fair and honest treatment of complaints.

Christians should start reading the news as though journalists were trying to influence their beliefs, worldview and vote – because that's precisely what's happening. If you’re feeling a little distrustful of the legacy media, you’re not alone. In a 2021 global survey about media trust, [...]

The legacy press exposed its bias for all to see during the Trump era. What makes you think they are a trustworthy source of news now?

Atheists are cheering at the drop in religious affiliation in our nation. However, with Christians becoming a minority, those who have abandoned faith in God have embraced faith in other things -- in modern ideologies. Australian census data released yesterday shows that -- for the [...]

How do we find the facts in a world full of biased media and government propaganda? Let us apply the scientific method to media reports on the coronavirus pandemic, sifting through conflicting narratives to get at the truth. Questioning Jesus at his trial, Pilate said, [...]

The one-sided campaign that Australia's national broadcaster is waging against the religious discrimination bill is a disgrace, argues James Macpherson. Soon they'll be telling us that religious freedom will kill koalas, cause climate change, and create new Covid variants. It's only a matter of time [...]

Why are we not being told this? With far too many governments and political leaders pushing pure panic porn and hysteria about Covid, and far too many happy to gain ever more power and control by exploiting a crisis, we are seldom getting reliable information [...]
