The Australia ABC TV Media watch program has revealed utterly shocking ant-Arab anti-semtism, Islamophobia, xenophobia and anti-Aborigine, anti-Asian and anti-Islander racism in Australian Mainstream media.
Media Watch gives horrible examples of egregious racism from the on-line version of the major Australian newspaper owned by global media mogul Rupert Mudoch, the pro-war, pro-Bush Sydney Daily Telegraph.
Key quote (Media Watch''''s conclusion): "Perhaps some online papers and blog sites are giving people too much rope. Everyone has the right to express their views and those offended have the right to complain. But has the responsibility to filter out the worst and most divisive comments - observed in print - disappeared in the new electronic media?"
Comment: publication of this foul racism is utterly unacceptable. The support by the Murdoch hacks for Bush''''s evil and criminal "War on Terror" (in reality an horrific War on Arab Women and Children, a War on Muslim Women and Children, a War on Asian Women and Children and a War on Non-European Women and Children) is ALSO a powerful reason to eschew such rags (post-invasion excess deaths 3.4 million in the Occupied Iraqi and Afghan Territories, mostly Women and Children and due to egregious US and US Alliance War crimes) (see: Body Count: http://globalbodycount.blogspot.com/ and The Cost of War: http://mwcnews.net/content/view/13099/26/ ).
