Welfare and Refugees | Media Watch - ABC Tv

When Nine News made inflammatory claims about how much new refugees are costing the taxpayer, the "shock jocks" jumped on board. But Centrelink says Nine has mangled the numbers.

Thank God for Media Watch, this is truly one of my favorite shows, it's nice that there is someone out there willing to stick up for the underdog and claim the facts for what they are, Nine/Seven News should be ashamed with some of the stories they come up with, to make up stories and tell lies about vulnerable people, so they can tune in the rednecks who probably vote Liberal to increase their ratings, make more profits or whatever.

@thectexperience terrific show

[thectexperience]

@mcqualter Haha nice.

You don't have to like the rap. The stat comes from that same song: "77% of Australians agree with John Howard's actions on the Tampa," which was obviously the most racist political decision in this country since White Australia ended in the 70s.

Everyone who hasn't seen it, go and check out Go Back to Where You Came From on SBS, should still be available for streaming.

@thectexperience shitty rap and made up statistics. Too bad there's no YouTube CommentWatch

[thectexperience]

Talkback squawkin hacks, won't relax

til Jonesy, Zemaneck and Laws are all axed

77% of aussies are racist

i'll buy you a beer with an arsenic chaser

@clumpft Can you fix the BBC? The last time that members of the BBC publicly challenged the validity of British government statements, those involved were castigated. Is it any surprise to find that anything that is considered politically sensitive is marginalised, ridiculed, or just plain ignored, by the BBC? However, the explosion in media technology has, over the years, also tended to marginalise the BBC. Yet the BBC continues to act as though it was still 1975.

Thank god for media watch, shit they're doing the lords work - not that I beleive in god. FUCK ALL MAINSTREAM MEDIA! Including redneck radio scum like Alan Jones.

The late Stan Zemanic was another rabid hater of certain ethnicities. Homosexual Alan Jones is the gay version of John Laws but with more venom and hate. Laws is not as bad as the homosexual Jones but he still serves the same corporate masters. Australian Dutchman Andrew Bolt is more veiled and guarded but he is another coward that serves the wealthy elite by fear-mongering and xenophobic incitment. All of these people have propped up Hanson who in turn propped the John (the liar) Howard.

[errortable]

Alan jones a veteren rednecked demoniser of non white people was exposed by Derryn Hinch for what he was. Jones is a homosexual who likes his men young and sweet. One thing I've always liked about Derryn Hinch. He's not afraid to tell it like it is. Jones had covered up his homosexuality for years while going on a racist crusade against others for years. Jones is nothing but a racist fear monger who prefers the rectum to the vagina. Sorry folks for being so blunt but thats what the coward is.

This is why I love media watch, keeps the media accountable.
