A young man by the name of Thomas Kowalczyk has today revealed to The Advocate that he can’t believe how much everyone’s sooking about this news thing.
“Fucking get over bro,” he laughed to our reporter over some nice Rosemary and Thyme Pork Sausages out the back of his parent’s place in Betoota Heights.
His comments came yesterday evening as the nation reacted to the revelation that Facebook would be banning all Australian news content.
“I’m not sure why everyone is blowing up about it so much,” continued the accountant who gets all of his opinions and information from his parents.
“Just go and search for the news online.”
“I mean like, so what if you can’t get news on social media,” said the young man as if large numbers of younger people subscribe to newspapers and watch the nightly news.
His comments follow the gradual decline of media diversity in a national landscape dominated by big players driven by commercial interests and agendas dictated by the upper echelon – something which Kowalczyk doesn’t seem to mind.
The man whose grandparents fled Europe during the horrific years of the 1940s, which may or may not have had anything to do with powerful forces controlling the distribution of information, said he reckons it might all just be a beat-up.
“No one’s forcing them to post on social media.”
“I don’t think news should be treated differently to anything else,” said the man who thinks all politicians are crook, but doesn’t see that maybe news organisations try and hold them to account.
“Just leave ’em to it,” he said, before walking some sausos back in for his grandpa who physically can’t speak about the horrific things he witnessed in Europe after propaganda campaigns were gradually left to go unchecked.
