I keep asking people in the comment section why Australians are promoting Rightwing USA stories, but no one has given me an answer

Joe said that white European descent people will be a minority. That's the part they want you to be scared of. Even Australia they want you to be scared of immigrants. Makes sense I've never met an Australian who wasn't racist.

Murdoch’s Sky News Aus is full on hard right, that’s their audience.
The Biden crime family antics are a great laugh, much better than watching Home and Away.
Every person I talk to, left right green can’t believe this guy is president, everyone thinks he’s a 🤡

The chasers were a left leaning comedy/news series of the early 2000’s. absolutely nothing about them was conservative; their popularity rose in rational response to the “war on terrorism” (how did that end and/or why don’t we hear more about it) and the United States invading Iraq.
They literally faked their way into an international summit in Sydney (g7? OPEC? Can’t recall) by just dressing up and acting as security guards for a foreign dignitary. They got nicked in the end but…ahhh damn those were the days when our national broadcaster still had balls and journalists to boot.
To more accurately address the OPs question you would need to be more specific and possibly cite what you’re referring to. As someone who is generally—and classically—progressive in his views, I know full well that some of what is contenporarily considered conservatism still holds weight and value and worth.

Because we're all still living in the system created by the British Empire, and the philosophy of white anglo supremacy is worldwide.
Right wing racists love to hear about the stuff they hate happening in other countries. It adds that extra layer of simplistic fuzz, "Oh, man, I heard it's REALLY bad over there," without the worrisome complexity that's hard to ignore at home.
Immigration is an inherently complex issue, but it tends to look a lot neater when viewed from the other side of the planet. Australian douchebags love to hear about "Mexicans" taking over the US. American douchebags love to hear about "Arabs" taking over France. Etc., etc.

What's not to believe?
He's like a center-right political "average" that banks and defense contractors cooked up as a placeholder while most of the electorate is busy imploding with internal contradiction and division. Just another day at the office for America.

she starts off the video with a 'red wave' map. shades of 2022
anyone paying attention to US politics can tell you that republicans are loosing special elections by MASSIVE margins.
if the literal facts and numbers say one thing and someone tries to say the opposite with a red/blue map i think its safe to label that 'propaganda' and not 'news'

What those 'concentration camps' did, along with cooperation from Indonesia, was break the people smuggling business model and saved people from drowning at sea.
I don't have a problem with Aus taking refugees but I don't want them fucked over by criminals or loosing their life trying to get here.

How's your southern border looking guys? I'll tell you what it looks like from here, a complete mess.

The southern border of the US has been fucked since at least, say, 1848.
But thanks for proving my point, too.

Oh kinda like Jon Stewart, I didnt know anything about politics before I seen Jon Stewart, think I was in grade 9, also got popular off the war in the middle east

Yeah it was in the same vein, absolutely, and what’s more these guys were paid their salary by our ABC, an entirely taxpayer funded network. Even if the journos on the same network were practically wet with the ratings boom of the new-ish “war on terror” these four friends and some cameras managed to trash the entire endeavour and were brilliant at it for a while.
Our ABC is a very different beast now, and not for the better.

Notice how anyone who values legal immigration is "scared of immigrants"
That's as dumb as NBC telling me every night, "American democracy may be destroyed"
