Ep 45 - Old Secrets
Season 2, Ep. 45
•
The Palace PR machine kept ex Prince Andrew’s tawdry secrets hidden for decades - but no more. Denis Muller describes the “startled corpse” photo that flew around the world within minutes and revisits the other great royal scandal also covered up - the Hitler fanboy Edward viii who called on Britain from exile after abdicating to make peace with the violent fascist.
Plus the New York Daily News calls out the Trump administration as a the world’s biggest criminal enterprise - existing to lie, steal and murder - in a powerful
editorial truth bomb.
And the spread of white supremacist, climate denying narratives into news feeds is normalising dangerous, racist, democracy-destroying ideas ..and it’s been meticulously planned that way.
So why won’t the media report on the Senate inquiry which is revealing the dark forces behind this toxic disinformation machinery?
“Truth Lies & Media” drops just after midnight Wednesday mornings!

44. Ep 44 - The Ideological Complex
33:50||Season 2, Ep. 44Riddle me this .. Why aren't the media hitting the alarm bells over the Australian MAGA machine trying to install a Trumpian government in this country? They call themselves Advance, they fawn over Pauline Hanson, they are funded by rich conservative donors and they set their attack dogs on voices that refuse to sing from the whites only, climate denying, back to the 50's hard right playbook. It's a big story getting minimal attention. Plus we look at the gushing media interviews rolled out for the new Liberal leader, Angus "Watergate" Taylor.. you will have heard lots of slogans about "Australian values" but no mention of the Robodebt cabinet he served in or dogwhistling to racists. And the once mighty Gallup polling agency, the founder of all modern public opinion methodology, bends the knee to Donald Trump.43. Ep 43 - Priorities and Leadership
