Having watched each and every episode of this series I have to say that this is unequivocally some of the best journalism I have seen in quite a while. At first I was amazed that such quality reporting about our own f-ed up election and political system came out of Australia. But the more I thought about it the more I realized that it is truly an indictment of the American media system as a whole. It seems that no network or platform in the US has the wherewithal or the balls to do something like this. Kudos to ABC for this example of first rate journalism.
Can we please get this level of coverage BEFORE the 2025 Australian election? I know the ABC has been scared of accurately covering Aussie politics since Howard cut funding and ScoMo filled the board with former Liberal politicians but the media has a responsibility to inform the voters.
The title of this excellent series is looking increasingly prophetic. From recent developments it's obvious that America is clearly in deep, deep trouble.
The best coverage of the US election anywhere. As a Brit, I enjoyed the "Who Broke Britain" series, but this one was a different level. Hope there's more in-depth series in the future!
As a Canadian, I fear I'll soon be experiencing the same sensation with respect to the next federal election here that's likely to see a Trumpish right-wing acolyte voted into power.
If you believe the propaganda from either your Democrats or Republicans ok I agree with you and you should be ashamed. If you don't then hold your head high.
What gets me is that they don't se that they're the main target and victims of his con, they just don't get it. But if something happens, maybe they get hit financially, I think,at least I hope, a lot of them will start waking up. Lol if 5hat happens they're not going to be happy about how they've been used and lied to. They've already been pumped full of anger and pent up rage, if they lose control of thisQult it's going to bite them in the patootty, BiGGly.
And the best part is, none of the U.S. news outlets bothered to provide this depth of coverage and context like Australia’s ABC did. I’ll give it to Australia for this.
Not all but the half that are being force marched along this dystopian time line are the ones I feel sorry for. The others wanted this insane clown show.
American here. I voted for Harris and have been severely sick to my stomach since the election. I definitely feel like our nation is lost. And Trump is a master manipulator. He used people’s anger against them. I see now how Hitler did it. I am very afraid now. I never thought this would happen.
America is an oligarch. When you have only two options it can seem that way. People are just trying to survive. And can you blame them? Biden in his second day of office signs executive orders about trans rights in sports yet does nothing for years to address the border crisis. This sends people the wrong message on where a governments priorities are.
Apparently it’s ok to just, lie. About everything. Over and over again. I mean the meet fact they have creationism and flatearther stuff so prevalent in there society, idk how you get through to them. Easily programmable NPCs
There education system, especially in red states has been gutted beyond belief, and they are easily programmable with propaganda. If you believe so vestments in god, the Bible, the kiddy fiddling churchies it’s easy to get programmed with propaganda for political agendas, especially when they wrap the things into one cultish football team of devotion.
Great conclusion to a great series! The fact that InfoWars was bought by The Onion in a state sanctioned auction was beyond satire and just the perfect ending to Jones’ empire 😂
LOL was it though? I think you should google that xD and then go watch Infowars because they're still on air rn. As Infowars xD It's hilarious you pretentious, morally and factually incorrect authoritarians always want to silence anyone who disagrees and live in some intentional echo chamber. well too bad. not happening.
why don't you go ahead and Google that sale. just double check that real quick xD the sale was reversed and Infowars is still on air as we speak. how does that make you feel? :) does your authoritarian desire to silence anyone you disagree with make you squirm when you hear they're still on air? I hope it does fr xD
@Merc399 NOPE. Jones had just filed to have it reversed. It hasn't actually happened. Once again, your closed media loop has only given you half of the information that you need to form an informed opinion.
@@asheronwindspear552 The Washington Post - "Judge Pauses the Onion’s takeover of Infowars over auction concerns" the hilarious part is the actual highest bid is by people who support Infowars and will leave Alex editorial control xD they put in 3.5 million when the Onion only put in 1.75 million LOL. They've been live in studio since Thursday evening of last week my dude
The only bit you left out was Trump’s ability to capture headlines. That woman can complain all she likes about a ‘biased media’ but Trump got all the headlines in a way the Harris campaign could not. In short, it doesn’t matter what you say as long as they spell your name right. When he was not in the headlines, his popularity dwindled but as soon as he announced his intention to run again he was news again. And the more outrageous he became, the more insatiable became the public’s appetite for stuff about him. Sunlight did not disinfect.
Thanks, this has been a brilliant series, I've watched as the episodes have been released. I love the style and production quality, as well as the balanced and objective analysis. I can't wait for more from Matt and team.
The health of democracy relies on the integrity of the parts contained within . Trump did not rise alone, there are many complicit parts - those that thirst for power, and not least a media that's lost its way.
150 odd million votes in total between Trump and Harris .. not even half of your 330 plus million population .. half your population is apathetic about the future of their country
As I was listening about 40 minutes ago, I was reading the comments and there was an interesting thread to which I left a reply, one of many and I also left a comment.

Loved this series. What the Trump voters don't realize is that while our government is far from perfect, it could be A LOT worse. And that's the most likely outcome with Trump. A lot worse.
Aus is 5-10 years behind culture. We follow the US, mellow it a little and mix it into our laconic version. But it's certainly coming for our isolated island.
@hsquared8774 to be fair Australia doesn't accept lots of people from outside,not a lot of diversity there... So it's easier not to get divided and be comfortable with the problems in the world... Just a thought

You guys are right on the money about censorship. My comments on this very video are being removed for citing Trump's racist rhetoric, even given ample context. Trump and Bannon being deplatformed was, indeed, _bad_ for freedom of speech and accessibility of information.

Imagine this: A foreign network that does a better job at reporting news than our domestic broadcasters. Ah, that would be the ABC (Australian Broadcasting Corporation). They do great work, and I rely on that foreign perspective, along with other foreign outlets, to receive balanced news reporting. It gives me a better perspective as to what's going on in other places on the planet.
It's not going to be Okay for a long time. That guy's in for life, and by the time he's finally gone, he will have successfully transformed the US into a one-party state.
@@brett22btthe supreme Court already consolidated the one party rule when they refused to enforce the will of the people in the voting rights act and said it's ok for red states to enact racial gerrymandering. Dems flipped a bunch of house seats but Republicans on North Carolina redrew the maps along racial lines and illegally awarded themselves 3 free guaranteed white gop districts. Same in Alabama, South Carolina and Florida and others I cannot think of at the moment. The SCOTUS basically rigged the house election to all but ensure GOP rule. Thats not even counting all of the voter suppression, illegal mass purges of voter rolls, and states like Texas and Florida not allowing DOJ civil rights division representatives to monitor elections like they do every year. Also thousands of people had ballots thrown out in the mail or didnt even receive them until after election day along with a week's worth of mail that had been held back for a week or more. That was purposely done by Trumps USPS fixer Louis DeJoy. Then Musk had illegal lotteries and fraudulent voter registration websites and was human trafficking black laborers from the south into michigan and Pennsylvania tricking them into working for Trump and flying them across the country and then informing them once they got to the destination that they would be working for the Trump campaign and if they didn't hit a ridiculously high number of targets, that they would be stuck and stranded in other states and would not be paid or have their lodging or travel back home paid for. And sleepy Joe did nothing about all of this.
Great series. Thanks. 👍 I read comments elsewhere that some Trump fans were saying Democracy is bad. I kid you not! They were comparing Ancient Rome, which was an oligarchy republic where only people of a certain caste could rule & be in the senate. So bizarre. Maybe they need to travel to North Korea.
This has been an outstanding series, that I've thoroughly enjoyed from its outset - I would love to see a thought-experiment running through all the possible likely outcomes for the next four years...
Great Series on how Trump made it back to the Presidency! As you say, America has voted for this guy a 2nd time with full knowledge of what he is, including Latino's who are going to bear the brunt of deportation efforts, in what ever form they take! So, let them all eat cake!
@@joebullwinkle5099 do you even understand that reference? Marie Antoinette and the let them eat cake quote do you even really know where that came from? Its a reference to the upper class gutting out the lower classes while engaging in a level of indulgence that lacks self awareness... The current moment is one of populist uprising... Which is what came after she was attributed the quote (the French revolution)... You're using it backwards in a way that makes no sense and makes you look like Marie Antoinette lol
This is a bad statement. Let them eat cake is utilized when someone in power decides to not take in the severity of the issue. People know full and well what they signed up for. Hardly a case of not taking it seriously.
Congratulations Matt on a remarkable series. The quality of journalism is outstanding. Well done on such an incredible job. I really enjoyed this episode. More please! Especially local politics. 😊
@topologyrob it would be different, were they to adjust to modern times and fight for what we actually want. Sometimes, I wonder if they are stuck in the 1960s.
So, are social media companies private and have their own algorithms and editorial polices driven by involvement? Or are they public squares that should be regulated?
It’s a Carnivale where the main attractions are playing an inverted version of themselves. The thing about a carnivale is that most people get tired of the craziness which is why it only lasts for one day a year, but some prefer it to normal life. And IMHO that is why so many are leaving Xitter and moving to BlueSky. One day or week a year of disruptive craziness a is enough.
Thank you so much. I only wish that the US media was a smidgen as. good and intelligent as you provide. What the hell are we going to do? The Vanals Got the Handles!
Unfortunately I am forced to use Rumble because for some reason it streams the SLS (Street Skateboarding League). The ads are literal scams and the most common emoji in the chat is trumps face. Why the premier skateboarding league is on this boggles the mind.
And it was not a perception that Trump was victim of censorship - he was indeed victim of censorship. NOTE: I'm not American - I'm Brazilian. I have always voted for what in the US would be considered "extreme left" but we here call "social democracy" or center left leaning towards the center and not the left.
Great series, however I fail to accept that the vast majority of Americans wanted Trump back in. The vast majority of the registered voters did, but considering they don't have mandatory voting, who knows.
The republican party let him run. Don't for get it. I get to say I think you are on the right track. I know people that where delegates for Bernie and voted trump. He is there false hope. Y they don't see it? "I do not know"... He want's so meany things that are bad for almost every one.

Not the entire population can vote of course. Voter suppression also contributed to the lower Dem vote.
@@gustaaf1892 please stop with that conspiracies. Voter suppression 😂😂😂.
U didn't have mail in vote to cheat. 😂😂😂.
That's what happen.
I really appreciate how you break all this Trump mess down and give it transparency. Scares me somewhat though!
I'm really liking this series, but aren't you saying it's the last episode for the last couple episodes? I'm not mad
We are repeating history again
There's another problem: censorship is totally contrary to a fundamental idea in American culture - freedom of expression.
And it was not a perception that Trump was victim of censorship - he was indeed victim of censorship.
NOTE: I'm not American - I'm Brazilian. I have always voted for what in the US would be considered "extreme left" but we here call "social democracy" or center left leaning towards the center and not the left.
America has fallen
Great series, however I fail to accept that the vast majority of Americans wanted Trump back in. The vast majority of the registered voters did, but considering they don't have mandatory voting, who knows.
No one ever censored him.
If you have to choose between the devil and the deep blue see, you’re going to make the wrong choice.
The republican party let him run. Don't for get it. I get to say I think you are on the right track. I know people that where delegates for Bernie and voted trump. He is there false hope. Y they don't see it? "I do not know"... He want's so meany things that are bad for almost every one.
When it says public broadcast service, it means >50% govt owned
I've seen those same potency ads on RUclips. I reported it!
Brilliant
Incumbent governments globally have struggled in the face of the pandemic-triggered inflation, not just in the USA.
