The Murdoch ability to influence Australian elections is over. The have become a caricature of themselves. Their so called journalists are just spin doctors, Murdoch apparatchiks with no regard for the truth. They have no credibility amongst the general public in either print or digital mediums.

A big cultural success for Murdoch/American-style populism in Australia has been the poisoning of popular opinion against unions.
The tradie-knuckledraggers used to be Labor heartland.
The time to turn that around is now, with wages and unemployment both at historic lows.
@dropbear42 @amazing_thoward @lilstevie @ajsadauskas@lemmy.ml @wintermin @kentparkstreet @snowchook Definitely agree that the influence is reduced, rather than gone.
At the same time, the warnings of doom about the Teals in The Australian, the Adelaide Advertiser spruiking Steven Marshall, the Herald Sun screaming about why we should have re-elected ScoMo, and the Daily Tele going in to bat for Perrottet, all added up to nothing.
Yes, the political class and the rest of the Canberra press gallery will still listen to Murdoch, and still overestimate News Corp’s influence.
But News Corp’s endorsement no longer wins elections, especially once the public has turned on a coalition government.
