Bannon was and continues to be one of the biggest instigators of the constant stream of lies that has attracted the Trump cult followers.There is an article published last night in our Sydney Morning Herald, where a former Prime Minister and now our new consul-general in NY (Malcolm Turnbull) has stated that:
“I say this without any sense of hyperbole: I do not believe that there is any individual alive today that has done more damage to American democracy than Rupert Murdoch. You might say [he’s] Australia’s deadliest export.”
“What we saw ..... was a government that was nearly overthrown in a coup promoted by the president – and in an environment that was enabled by Fox News and other right-wing media, promoting stuff they knew was untrue.
“How do we deal with this?” ... noting that the media landscape had become so hyper-partisan that many people “are now living in information silos” with opposing views of reality.
Citing former Trump adviser Steve Bannon, who once suggested a tactic to “flood the zone with s__t”, Turnbull argued the answer was to do the opposite: “flood the zone with facts”.
Rupert’s our ‘deadliest export’, Trump’s an egomaniac bully, says Turnbull
One of my biggest concerns is what exactly is the relationship between Trump and Murdoch and Bannon because I think all three are incredibly corrupt. All three are incredible egomaniacs.
