The political class have it all worked out - they know how to say and do things that *push buttons* with our media and through them they influence the "bogan class" and capture "low information voters".
Tonight we had "big Joe Hockey" telling all and sundry on two networks and in front of talking heads and many thousands of viewers that he would guarantee "to have a lower tax to GDP ratio than Labor".
The thing is that he is lying and it is BS - and yet no-one has called him on it. And no-one will.
OK - Stephen Koukoulas has written about it - here and here. But not a single MSM journalist has - or will.
It has now become the assumption of said "bogan class" and "low information voter" that the Coalition are better economic managers - simply because *our media* choose to present the Coalition point of view - without comment or criticism.
A few of us with slightly longer memories know that Joe is lying - because he has form.
He duped the voters of North Sydney back in 2010 and he clearly intends to do it again in 2013.
But no-one would know that by watching Sky or ABC tonight.
