Barnaby Joyce was pre-selected unopposed and received a thunderous standing ovation. Twenty-four hours later there is almost nothing in the mainstream media about it.

This is proof of the extreme-left bias of the urban bugmen who dominate our media – if you needed it.  Only events that support their agenda get published.

How can Australian journalism be fixed?

Second, get journalist training out of universities and back into on-the-job cadetships where it rightfully belongs.

Bugmen media activists aren’t ensuring our freedom, they’re eroding it.
