After dark

Bullies in the pay of the Marquis de Tabloid indoctrinate the vulnerable after dark. The bullies are paid to turn ignorant citizens into sycophants, like themselves.  Their aim is to maintain and expand the power of overly influential, pseudo-conservative egomaniacs, at the expense of real democracy. Puppet politicians collude with the bullies, having already colluded with overly influential puppeteers to fund bullying and greed with public money. The bullies, as hate-spitting enemies of reason, pretend to care about justice.  They do so by shouting superior orders into cameras.  But they only really care about themselves and their own misguided opinions.  After dark, a tiny minority delude themselves that they represent the majority.  They imagine their audiences as vast and attentive.  But ranting into the homes of the desperately lonely improves nothing.

Keeping the public ignorant

Ruining the news since 1952

To run the world, it is first necessary to ruin the news, and possibly even The News . News Crap has a long and proud history of ruining everything, especially by running incompetent governments and hacking phones . We've been doing it since 1952, with a little help from the Playmander , plenty of propaganda and technical assistance through the Adelaide GPO . We specialise in ruining careers, ruining romances, spreading gossip and destroying democracies. Real news suppliers have a watchdog role . News Crap, instead, allows its tabloidian minions to hound the innocent, dismantle democracy, ridicule reasonableness, indoctrinate the gullible and prevent media diversity .
