  1. *The Hill missed the massive nuances unfortunately.* Here in Australia, Rupert Murdoch owns 70% our print media (News Corp, who also own Fox News in the US), our media has a strong bias that has supported and helped elect our conservative party (Liberals) in the majority of our elections in recent history. This is actually a massive power struggle between Murdoch's news media ) and Facebook. Our former prime minister Kevin Rudd just sat before our senate for a Royal Commission into Murdoch's monopoly on our news media. You can view this in full on Kevin Rudd's Youtube page. The government is pushing Rupert Murdoch’s agenda - major news outlets will get compensated but independent journalists won’t. This Australian law says that, to simply link to news articles, one has to pay the publisher — and only establishment news qualifies. This disenfranchises independent news as well as breaks a key aspect of a free and open internet — being able to link to and move between different sites liberally.

  9. It isn't a great insight at all - Here in Australia, Rupert Murdoch (News Corp, who also own Fox in the US) owns 70% our print media. The ruling right-wing LNP party has strong ties with Rupert Murdoch and to a lesser extent, Nine/Fairfax. These two groups combined control the majority of Aussie legacy media, push heavily and (usually successfully) for the LNP during both federal and state elections, and in return want the LNP to pass laws to prop up their business model. This is actually a massive power struggle between them and Facebook. Our former prime minister Kevin Rudd just sat before our senate for a Royal Commission into Murdoch's monopoly on our news media. The government is pushing Rupert Murdoch’s agenda - major news outlets will get compensated but independent journalists won’t.

  23. In Australia here: In reality, Google has only made a deal with SevenWestMedia in regards to this. As Rupert Murdoch (see News Corp, same owners as Fox in the US) owns 70% of all print media here in Australia, and knowing that it is massively losing money for them vs. online...you can add it up. **Rupert Murdoch was literally consulted to make up the co-design media policy for this!!**. The current conservative government is known to be heavily favoured in news coverage by the Murdoch press to the point of damn Senate enquiry into this *If you want something to REALLY cover, we have an actual senate inquiry (in American terms) on the domination of Murdoch in the local news media here. Look up former Prime Minister's Kevin Rudd's Youtube channel. - 'Senate Inquiry into Media Diversity in Australia' .You can add this up. Not to mention Facebook are blocking based upon what the proposed deal states down here is "core news content" which includes all of that unfortunately. It maybe overreaching, but this take completely misses the mark due to essentially, you not being in Australia and knowing the nuances of the issue.

  45.  @ramses1134  Correct. Both are acting in their own corporate interests but as an independent journalist / comedian who ironically survived the purge (FriendlyJordies, look him up on Youtube) and yes, posted a video on Facebook to flex, pointed out, for the first time, there is a balance of power. Murdoch can't just abuse whoever he wants now as there is actual bigger fish than him (Google, Facebook) who can actually fight back.

  47.  @ramses1134  but most Australians can see through that crap. Like for example when the Murdoch media massively went on the attack on the Labor candidate (left wing) in Queensland in their state election, in which Murdoch literally owns *100%* of the print media there.....only for the Labor candidate to win in a landslide ROFL. IT WAS *GLORIOUS* to see Murdoch be completely owned.
