    Ep 45 - Old Secrets

    24/02/2026 | 45 mins.
    The Palace PR machine kept ex Prince Andrew’s tawdry secrets hidden for decades - but no more. Denis Muller describes the “startled corpse” photo that flew around the world within minutes and revisits the other great royal scandal also covered up - the Hitler fanboy Edward viii who called on Britain from exile after abdicating to make peace with the violent fascist.

    Plus the New York Daily News calls out the Trump administration as a the world’s biggest criminal enterprise - existing to lie, steal and murder - in a powerful
    editorial truth bomb.

    And the spread of white supremacist, climate denying narratives into news feeds is normalising dangerous, racist, democracy-destroying ideas ..and it’s been meticulously planned that way.

    So why won’t the media report on the Senate inquiry which is revealing the dark forces behind this toxic disinformation machinery?

    “Truth Lies & Media” drops just after midnight Wednesday mornings!

    Ep 44 - The Ideological Complex

    17/02/2026 | 33 mins.
    Riddle me this .. Why aren't the media hitting the alarm bells over the Australian MAGA machine trying to install a Trumpian government in this country?

    They call themselves Advance, they fawn over Pauline Hanson, they are funded by rich conservative donors and they set their attack dogs on voices that refuse to sing from the whites only, climate denying, back to the 50's hard right playbook.

    It's a big story getting minimal attention.

    Plus we look at the gushing media interviews rolled out for the new Liberal leader, Angus "Watergate" Taylor.. you will have heard lots of slogans about "Australian values" but no mention of the Robodebt cabinet he served in or dogwhistling to racists.

    And the once mighty Gallup polling agency, the founder of all modern public opinion methodology, bends the knee to Donald Trump.

    Ep 43 - Priorities and Leadership

    10/02/2026 | 39 mins.
    ASIO takes aim at the ABC as Four Corners questions intelligence failures in the lead up to the Bondi terror attack ..

    The mighty Washington Post which broke the Watergate scandal now being detonated by its owner Jeff Bezos in order to curry favour with a corrupt President.

    And the bizarre “love and friendship” headline published by The Age for the visiting Israeli President Isaac Herzog, accused of inciting a genocide.

    Plus we farewell Jon Kudelka, beloved political cartoonist.

    Ep 42 - Up to the Task

    03/02/2026 | 48 mins.
    Bondi media BS .. how the mainstream media led by the Murdoch press wanted the public to think it was railing against hate while it weaponised a massacre.

    In the US we examine the arrest of a former CNN anchor Don Lemon in a Trump crackdown to silence the press after the fascist regimes agents executed a mother and then an ED nurse in Minneapolis.

    At the same time Washington Post boss Jeff Bezos pays a brazen bribe as he pays millions to Melania Trump to make a movie about Melania Trump starring Melania Trump .. which has spectacularly bombed.

    And the Australian news outlets openly sexist headline “Why I Wouldn’t Marry Sussan Ley” sparks fury as it reduces a political leaders worth to her desirability as a wife.

    “Truth Lies @ Media” roars into 2026!💥
