You do know about what changed in the media rules with facts vs persuasive media right?

Media corporations in Australia used to be required to report
75% fact
15% persuasive
10% other (lifestyle, comedy articles etc)

The government passed rules subtly 9 years ago and the media no longer has to state facts legally.

This is the reason we now see 80% persuasive media reporting in Australia.
