@latingle I am a real person, not afraid to voice my opinions. I am a Labor member and proud of it. I don't agree with abuse on this platform and try hard not to swear on here. I think social media generally frightens the hell out of Journalists. The technology changes have also changed

@latingle the media marketplace. Gone are the days when the majority got their news from the Media. Now I go to the source such as Government reports, the ABS etc. I have a range of learned skills which enable me to do Analysis for myself. many people on twitter are like me.

@latingle Much newspaper reporting is inaccurate and opinionated and comes from "Sources" which are dubious at best. There are three main Media groups in Australia, Murdoch, channel Nine and the ABC. I discount any media from the first two and much from the Last. Mainly because it's

@latingle standards have decreased substantially. Not in every facet, but getting worse all the time. I was an avid watcher of Insiders and 7.30, but no longer. I am sick of the gotcha style of the interviewers. To highlight my comments I will give you one example of a poorly covered story

@latingle On 27th March 2020 the National Cabinet agreed at noon to implement hotel Quarantine in the States. The States agreed. The Prime minister gave them 24 hours to do that. Section 51 (ix) of the constitution says,"The Parliament shall, subject to this constitution, have power to

@latingle make laws for the Peace, order and good government of the commonwealth with respect to. (ix) Quarantine. When the Outbreak of Covid 19 went pear shaped in Victoria, the press unfairly attacked (like twitter trolls) the Premier and his government. Many Deaths occurred in Aged care

@latingle Another Federal government responsibility. Yet as a Victorian watching the Press trolls from the Murdoch press. It was all down to Daniel Andrews. Hardly any main stream media actually reported these facts. The total abrogation of responsibility by the Commonwealth. It is my

@latingle opinion that the press are being well manipulated by the Coalition. Leading to wrong perceptions of politics and politicians by the media. The way the ABC treated Julia Gillard (at home with Julia) was a disgrace. The writing on an ABC article when Julia Gillard visited a

@latingle premises with the Liberal Victorian Liberal Premier Ted Baillieu and the Caption read Juliar Gillard (Yes I have screen shots), the Way the press club treated M/s Gillard, when she followed The Hon Tony Abbott. Abbott was The Hon and The Prime Minister was Julia Gillard no

@latingle honourable there, until I pointed it out and they changed it. Bias? In the eye of the beholder perhaps. What the press need to do (IMHO) is to move with the times, to change with the technology and the social norms, The press and their platform has severely eroded. They need to

@latingle find new ways to engage with their customer base. Twitter is part of that customer base. It isn't going away. Disrespect in Social circles unfortunately is a fact of 2021 (and 20 years before). It is my idea that by failing to call it out then (Julia Gillard, Kevin Rudd, allowing

@latingle the coalition a free ride) the media is coping some of what they have allowed. I don't think that abuse is OK. I block it right away. But the fault doesn't all lay with twitter. it lays with poor journalism. Whilst i admire your Journalism Laura, I don't admire or like any of the

@latingle Journalists Leigh Sales mentions. Because I don't think they are very good journalists. If you are interested in what else i think goto my website at thevogfiles.com
