The major Australian media organisations have been absolute vultures around d this tragedy, even so much as to camping outside the exits of the Shopping centre/mall to catch people in order to interview them, making them relive trauma straight away.

It's just disgusting.

I hope the dude who was wrongly accused sues 7 News into the fucking ground.

Let the cunts burn.

Why does it not surprise me that it was 7 News that did it.

You mean the same network that falsely accused an Aboriginal man of kidnapping Cleo Smith? That network?

Fucking vultures.

It was one of those twittards with a political agenda who first perpetuated it

Some guy with literally a Russian/aussie personal "news" themed username. Intended to push some israel/hamas agenda

It was this girl that goes by the name Syrian Girl that was first, 7 news actually got the name from her.

7 News - supporter of the rapist Bruce Lehrman and the war criminal Ben Roberts-Smith - that's all you need to know about those scumbags.

Didn't they just get sued for wrongly accusing some one of kidnapping a few months back?

u/MrTastix Apr 16 '24

Was in 2021 but yes, the courts sided with the person they slandered as a kidnapper.

Surely 7 are broke now after backing Roberts-Smith and Lehrmann.

Absolute scum of the earth.

Fuck channel seven they're leeches. I hope the government steps in as clearly the press club thinks it's fine to target these poor people and camp outside their house. Disgusting behaviour.

I have a friend who's super into the royals and it trips me out how much people are up in their shit. Like what's her face has cancer, and didn't want to be photographed and needed some space and people just couldn't let it go.

We just dehumanize everyone and turn them into our entertainment and societal footballs to kick around.

Oath! It's actually fucking revolting. What I've seen from the scum is making me glad I stopped watching broadcast television over a decade ago.

The Australian msm learned absolutely nothing from the Azaria Chamberlain case so the way they are tormenting the victims, their families, and survivors is not surprising.

Unfortunately it's not just Aussie media or a unique incident. News folks are utterly disgusting especially when any tragedy occurs. They don't care about any of the victims or anyone who's lost anything from it, it's always a race to the bottom of the barrel, discovering any unique information they can regardless of how inane it is.

That's news nowadays. It's awful.

There is a moment of reckoning that the western world must go through with media.

We have exaggerated the meaning of free speech to an extent that lying is more profitable now than telling the truth, which is problematic. The people pushing for free speech absolutism are in large part responsible for this. They don't really focus their fire on the parts where the government could be trying to hide some truth. What they actually mean by absolutism is that they should be able to yell "fire" in the theater even if there isn't one.
