Right wing propaganda is to be feared because of the fact that there are all too many gullible and uneducated people around who will just accept and believe it. And the uncritical acceptance of the ideology peddled by the right wing is dangerous.

And the left wing machine doesn't spew out dangerous propaganda believed by gullible and uneducated people ?

They managed to destroy the Tasmanian economy, a whole industry and villify a businessman and his family

(as well as physically attack them) because it didn't fit their ideology.

you fear it?

Interesting point IF. How can a person fear bias contained in  "information, especially of a biased or misleading nature, used to promote a political cause or point of view." If a person is aware of the nuances of right or left wing propaganda dressed up as a harmless message why is there a need to fear it. Surely it is irrational to fear something that you know to be false or biased.

as an example of that . . . See what happened when the Murdoch press peddled their particular brand of right wing propaganda in one of our most promininet national newspapers and tv stations?

We ended up with a right wing govt. For a short time only methinks, but nevertheless much damage has already been done.

Greens in Tasmania, targeted Gunns Pulp Mill, the banks prooviding the finance and attacked the family of the CEO

when at home and out in the street.

Standard practice for them in campaigns.

[gleee58]

Seriously?

Nah, couldn't possibly be.

[aps1080]

Yes, seriously.

It's a long saga, has been in the papers for the last few years, the article I read today was a follow up piece but I can't find it Aaaarrrggghhhh.

The Greens are always sabotaging equipment.

And don't ever go to one of their "camps" after a protest unless you want to spend a few days cleaning up all the rubbish.'

are you sure about that?? all i could find was something about a drunk 20 year old who burnt a hole in their front door mat and wrote graffitti,  he was caught and charged.  Am I missing something?

[debra9275]
