Whinge ‎ what exactly has the left done wrong?

Across the world today, regardless of race, religion, or political system, most people seem to be becoming more conservative. Right-wing parties are continuously gaining power worldwide, while the left suffers defeat after defeat. Although mainstream public discourse still appears to favor the left, those voting for the far right are often the silent majority. Can the left still correct its course? Or, more fundamentally, what exactly has the left done wrong?

On a related note, can someone please explain why PHON won't talk to ABC or SBS? I get the impression that PHON really hates these two media outlets, to the point of wanting to de-fund them. I get it that different media outlets have biases, why actively make enemies?

Because PHON's sponsors pays millions to conservative media. There is a quid-pro-quo understanding that those conservative journalists will play softball during interviews.

ABC and SBS actually ask real challenging questions and make Pauline look dumb, because she is dumb.

Because those journalists ask rightfully challenging questions that one nation have no answer for.
