I have been experiencing more and more people questioning and trying to read between the lines of a bloated media industry obsessed with shock jockism.

When people take to the streets and become citizen journalists, you know something is up. All the signs are there if we read between the lines and cut out the main stream media white noise. Because that is all it is, break it down and think about why certain things are reported and are some are not?

For instance the young man killed in America yesterday, from all accounts so far he was shot 10 times and was unarmed and posed no threat. This is not unusual for the USA sadly. However what I have noted, is that there seems to be a groundswell of discontent emanating from our American brothers and sisters.

Social media is so important, quite simply our voices get to be heard. Whether they are wrong or right, they all are allowed to be heard in a democratic society. I think that’s what George Brandis was trying to get at with his infamous bigot comment.

Main stream media has no concept of public life because it hasn’t lived in our realm for quite some time. Leigh Sales meeting with Tony Abbott for dinner and Clive’s infamous banana split with Malcolm Turnbull and Martin Ferguson is not unusual. In fact it is their norm. Both major parties have done this for so long that it appears to be an entrenched world of old ideologies and forgotten philosophies.

And lets not forget the ultimate Big Brother Rupert Murdoch. Remember when the infamous ‘Bondi Punch up’ was headlining for a good couple of weeks? You have to ask why? Once we start doing that it gives us a chance to really know not whether you are Left or Right aligned but if you support their policies. Because it’s not about being a rusted on ALP voter, because that’s what mum and dad voted. It’s also not about the leader as such, it’s the whole party, he/she is just the front person for their core beliefs and policies. And that’s it. Take the jargon and bull shit away it’s just life….Being disengaged and misinformed is tragic to me in this day and age and has worked well as a business model in the USA but I really don’t think it will work here as much as Lord Monckton would like. It appears to be a game plan set in place a very long time ago by people such as Murdoch, Rhinehart and Monckton, that we the general public had no idea about.

Elitism will never work here, mainly due to colonial history in my humble opinion. The ‘fair shake of the sauce bottle’ is born from that. We love sports because anyone can have a go, anyone! Perhaps that is why our current refugee situation is so beguiling. We have always been welcoming, just listen to our national anthem.

What changed? Fear, pure and simple which led to big business sharks generating self interest to fatten thy wallets? The lobbying needs to stop and the concept that we are not a society; because it’s bigger than that. We are global brothers and sisters that need to keep the conversation flowing.
