The Australian bit of Sky News is the bit that Rupert Murdoch still owns.

The man is a premier league cunt and always has been.

If you ever see bullshit racist twaddle being peddled as "news", just do a quick search and you'll often find it leads back to this prick.

I just feel sorry for his many wives, who will have had to witness what Karl Pilkington once described as "like a tortoise without a shell on"

I first understood that maybe 15 years ago, when I was in the UK during the supposed mass riots there. My parents read about that in the media (European public service broadcast news) about the anarchic circumstances and were worried about me.

I was in one of the cities hit hardest, according to the media, and my flat was actually right at the location this was about.

All that really happened was a single demonstration that was mostly peaceful without any vandalism. That's it.

I'm assuming you were talking about the London riots, there were a few days of violence but it was only idiots who were after a free TV and PlayStation, and of course the one unimaginative guy who famously stole some rice and then posted about it on Facebook. But of course no one has any guns so once the police turn up everyone tends to calm down.

I was in a bar in the middle of the riot watching them run up and down to stay away from the police. They did manage to set fire to Miss Selfridge though!

Speaking of european news I was in Southeast asia when the Spanish blackout happened and they didn't report it.

The planetary ecosystem is undergoing a K-T scale mass extinction. Isn't that enough for everyone?

[–] nectar45@lemmy.zip 6 points 17 hours ago (1 children)

No no you see it has to be something we can blame minorities for /s

[–] ZMoney@lemmy.world 1 points 3 hours ago

My most hopeful take is that now that the global oligarchy is multi-ethnic and multi-racial, this narrative is on its last legs. Alternatively, we can pivot it from regular minorities to billionaire minorities.

[–] A_Random_Idiot@lemmy.world 2 points 14 hours ago

Yeah but its not a cool apocalypse with like, zombies.. or caused by brown people that we can wage a big war against.

Its caused by the vroomvroom juice we really really love, and thus must be ignored at all costs.

I've never seen this before holy shit that's awesome

I'm embarrassed at how many times i watched that thinking it wasn't a looping clip.

Looks arouns: families making a living, my doctor visit was for free, and a friend is about to take a huge redundancy package thanks to state laws that mandate his company to compensate.

We are so fallen.

[–] echodot@feddit.uk 4 points 18 hours ago

I'm not working today, yet I'm still being paid thanks to employment law ensuring full paid time off.

No, obviously we'd be much better under the American style hyper-capitalist system. Especially now.

To add a little bit of context, what happened in Spain was actually the opposite: gangs of fascists terrorising immigrant communities.

[–] bluetardis@sh.itjust.works 14 points 1 day ago

Sky news in Australia is far worse than Fox in the US. It’s little more than a shout box for small minded racists.

[–] elucubra@sopuli.xyz 69 points 1 day ago (3 children)

I'm in Spain, and can confirm, It's pandemonium and anarchy here. For example, one of my neighbors has spent more than an hour making drilling noises, and someone hasn't picked up their dog's shit. We are a few hours away from total collapse!

Australian media has fallen.

[–] Bloomcole@crazypeople.online 4 points 20 hours ago (1 children)

Europe is falling, but not for this reason.

[–] LoreleiSankTheShip@lemmy.ml 7 points 17 hours ago (1 children)

Actually, it's summering right now. Falling will take place in a month and a half

"Anarchy!" screams the caption of a photo of a group of police apprehending a couple of people.

[–] umbraroze@slrpnk.net 5 points 22 hours ago

I'm in Finland. Over here every summer there's always some streets that are being repaved or major public service buildings that gets closed due to "renovations". Ha, I know that's just a government cover-up. They don't want us to know about the looting gangs who apparently have access to stealth technology!

[–] DarkFuture@lemmy.world 64 points 1 day ago (13 children)

I live in California.

Do you know how many fearful conservatives have told me the place I live in has collapsed into a wasteland of violent criminal chaos? I can only go outside to check and make sure they're wrong so many times before I just have to assume they're fucking idiots.

Reminder that Australia produced the shitstain gutter scum that we call Rupert Murdoch.

So... not sure if that's where the picture comes from, but what seems to be happening in Europe right now is roaming gangs of nazis causing violence.

I'm impressed by the dilligence seeding the lie, just in case the news pierces the veil.

Sky News in Australia is equivalent to Fox or GB News.
