Episode description
In this episode, we examine the influence of Zionist groups in Australian media and politics, exposing how News Corporation and right-wing activists manipulate public sentiment and suppress criticism of Israel. A failed Daily Telegraph stunt at Cairo Takeaway in Sydney reveals the media’s role in fueling Islamophobia. We also discuss the suppression of pro-Palestinian voices in academia, the arts, and politics, and the broader threat to democracy. We then analyse the Reserve Bank’s interest rate cut and the media’s hypocritical response, as well as the controversial YouGov/MRP poll predicting a Peter Dutton-led government. With Labor facing messaging challenges and the Liberal Party struggling with economic coherence, will right-wing media continue to shape the narrative?Support New Politics, just $5 per month:
