This offends me as an engineer because it’s really a way of saying that reality doesn’t matter and that majority opinion can trump facts.

If politics really needs to be done differently, as Prime Minister Anthony Albanese has promised, then the way politics is reported needs to be done differently too. This is because the power of the media to portray will determine how the electorate perceives whether changes occur. It is a mutual process. The way politicians behave affects the media’s portrayal of them, and how the media portrays politicians in turn affects political practice. A benchmark to help us assess whether the promised change will materialize is provided by academic Judith Brett’s characterization of the Morrison administration: The blame-shifting, the careless inattention,Read News
