Every government engages in espionage, including Indonesia. Very few details are known about this particular case.
Snowden is the point of interest here.
- gadders 13y agoSo we have an approved list of places we can link to now? A Murdoch-owned link is as valid as any other.
- dTal 13y agoOn the other hand, Murdoch media is well-known for political advocacy disguised as unbiased information, a boycott is a worthy thing to advocate, and 7stark7 said "please don't" rather than "you are prohibited from".
- gadders 13y agoThe Guardian and the New York Times are also well known for political advocacy disguised as unbiased information, just towards the left rather than the right.
- dTal 13y agoSorry, I'll phrase it a bit more straightforwardly: if it came from Murdoch, it's much more likely to be a lie.
- gadders 13y agoOr how about "I only believe left-wing news sources"? That would be more honest. And just because you agree with a news source's bias, that doesn't make it true.
- Nick_C 13y agoBecause I live in WA, I used to read The Australian to get Australia-wide news and decent political analysis. I don't bother any more, it is absolute rubbish now and has been for a few years.
