WOW. Will definitely have to check him out. I am the same as @cryptogee, I don't watch any mainstream news, or read any newspapers. The way I get the news I need to get, is from social media platforms i.e. reddit front page, and, eventually (hopefully) #steemit. Anything important enough, will make it to these two channels, I believe. In fact, this is basically my new news policy, and I am a lot happier without being fed all that fear from 'the news' 24/7.
Everything else, is rubbish.
I don't subscribe to 'the news'. In my mind, it is only 'a news'. Those large corps and their idea of 'the news' is nowhere near 'the news'. It is simply 'a news', 'their news'.
Oh, you mean Australia? :P
Australia is a very strange place these days - just ask the Aussie journalist John Pilger!

The state is more powerful than ever; the view that big business alone shapes the new world order is wrong!!
The very term I used in https://steemit.com/cryptocapitalism/@cryptogee/cryptocapitalism-vs-cryptocommunism-the-battle-rages-on
I believe we are seeing a kind of social capitalism with Steemit :-)
