Section 2: Selected results from The Canberra Times, from 1976 to 1995.
[See the main article: Media bias, Senator Fraser Anning, and the phrase “final solution”.]
The attacks of the mainstream media upon Senator Fraser Anning, feigning “outrage” over the use of the phrase “final solution” in his maiden speech (14 August 2018), are great examples of journalistic bias, blatant hypocrisy, and manipulation by the media of the public in order to push their own anti-Western agenda.
The media claimed that the phrase “final solution” was a “Nazi phrase”, when — in fact — it is a common enough phrase used by all sorts of people, including journalists in the mainstream media. The pretence that the words “final solution” are purely and simply a Nazi phrase is simply just another media fraud — it’s just another example of Multiculturalist and Leftist journalists trotting out yet more fake news, in order to push their own anti-Western and Leftist political agenda.
Below are some examples of the media using the phrase “final solution”, gathered from The Canberra Times (from the National Library of Australia’s Trove collection of historical newspapers), from 1976 to 1995:
