If the government is so concerned and animated about controlling the message and misinformation, why aren’t they starting with the one vehicle they already have the ability to rein in and for which they don’t need misinformation legislation? The ABC.
The ABC has a well-chronicled history of bias and misinformation.
Perhaps that’s because the ABC is on the same page already and doesn’t need legislative coercion. More broadly, why don’t they have a focus on the msm overall. Why the focus on social media and Elon Musk?
The truth is it’s not, and never has been about misinformation. It is about controlling the narrative and not allowing the message to go rogue.
