This sort of article gets clicks, and at first this approach to writing jolts people and makes them think. But Mr Murdoch has shown for decades that once people buy in to your emotional writing enough, they actually stop thinking. Then you can drip-feed them a daily dose of outrage, bring them around to whatever cause you like and weaponise your readers.
I like my news to be boring. Just give me the bare facts. Don't tell me how I should feel about them, I'll make my own mind up, thank you.
Strip away the emotions of this article, and you are left with 'We are not happy that LNP won the Queensland election. We believe that Australia should cut ties with the Monarchy and the US military. Indigenous Australians are poor and not enough is being done to correct that.' Weirdly, none of these individual topics appear to be related to one another.
Did I miss anything?
If you like news boring, there is an app that runs news articles through a LLM to make them boring.
