I wanted to check up on this outrageous statement.

https://halturnerradioshow.com/index.ph ... arine-deal

China will nuke Australia BEFORE the subs are built rather than face the humiliation of being reigned-in by the existence of those vessels.

I put in the site

https://mediabiasfactcheck.com/hal-turner-radio-show/


and it came up with:



Overall, we rate the Hal Turner Radio Show extreme right biased and Questionable based on the promotion of extreme right-wing propaganda, conspiracy theories, and hate. We also rate him Very Low in factual reporting due to an abysmal track record with fact-checking and little or no sourcing of information.

It's a pity they don't have every website that I've used.

example

www.rt.com


although Wikipedia helps:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RT_(TV_network)

RT has been described as a major propaganda outlet for the Russian government and its foreign policy.[2] Academics, fact-checkers, and news reporters (including some current and former RT reporters) have identified RT as a purveyor of disinformation[42] and conspiracy theories

I thought the Australian ones were pretty predictable

Murdoch ones were right biased

The Age/SMH slightly left as was ABC.

Guardian was left leaning.
