"What does a democracy do when a dominant news media organisation goes rogue
during an election campaign?
In 2022, News Corporation is confronting Australia with this question once
again, as it did in 2019, 2016 and 2013, and as it did in the United States in
2016 and 2020.
“Going rogue” here means abandoning any attempt at fulfilling one of the
media’s primary obligations to a democratic society — the provision of truthful
news coverage — and instead becoming a truth-distorting propagandist for one
side.
The evidence that News Corp has gone rogue during the current federal election
is plentiful. It can be seen every morning in its newspapers across the
country, and every evening on Sky News after dark.
A sample of its election coverage over the period April 27 to May 2 makes the
case."
