I have more to say about the Guardian
[Patreon Exclusive]
Hello Patrons,
In case you missed it we just uploaded a video about the Guardian taking down one of our videos. Watch that first if you haven't but this is an exclusive chat that follows on from the end of that video. It's got some spicier stuff that doesn't belong on YouTube publicly, this is just a peek behind the curtain for the Patrons.
We hope you enjoy it, we'll have some more exclusive Patreon videos in the works very soon on top of our regular YouTube releases.
Thank you all for your support, you really keep the lights on around here,
The FJ Crew

Without the advocacy of minorities such as the Greens as well as the Bob Brown foundation, the Labor party would likely pass an authoritarian Federal Environmental Protection Authority with the Liberals. While the Koala National Park is welcome, the major governments are addicted to the gas, coal and oil companies and deforestation at the expense of the environment, not fully helping economies and destructing the world. With the Freedom Of Information bill that is also proposed by Labor, these sort of things would happen right under our noses. Jordan, thank you, I appreciate what you do, but please do not be a one eyed Labor supporter and still question all important things. Yes, the country is doing well. Yet without properly assessing all issues and all groups and individuals whingeing to have the best outcomes, we do not have a true democracy. Everyone having a say makes Australia the wonderful democratic country that it is.
I get and appreciate your message but tuned out about half way through. The Guardian isn't perfect but they still employ editors for better or worse.
I think when you hear the opinions of the msm before the last federal election they were all talking about 'labor will have to fight to get a minority government'. Even on election night on the ABC they constantly saying 'labor doesn't have enough seats to form government'. Then labor just wiped the floor with almost every other party. Was so funny seeing how upset the likes of SKY spews.
Hey FJ team. Can you do a reaction video to “Asmongold TV - What the f*CK is happening in Australia..” I reckon some good FJ counter points could be made, contrasting to his American lens points of view. As a constructive video. which could appease to your American audience :)
I was a believer in the Guardian and used their material to debunk climate deniers for ages. During that time, I had one of them point out that Guardian is biased (of course, all media is biased), but it did make me check myself and their info much more rigorously. Not sure if it was perfect timing but I started to notice what Jordies is talking about, they just became another click-bait, 'engagement' is king rag on most topics. Fucks sake, can we do anything about all this shit media?
My first video as a Patreon.
Thank you for the video Jordan and Team. I believe you are right regarding your comments on 'the tide shift' & a preference for neutral/positive news. I recall the Guardian articles from the housing vid being very misleading too, I'm very skeptical of everything I read now from Guardian. The quality and quantify of articles has slipped to clickbaity stuff. Katherine Murphy days were killer on the editorials, there hasn't been much talent to follow since at the Guardian, except a monthly graph from Greg Jericho? A tide shift may create a vacuum for another media outlet eventually, could it be FJ Media? Shanks may as well get a day job like the rest of us suckers and recite QT every parliamentry sitting day for us. #jordiesontwitter
Thanks, Jordan. It’s the kind of depressing we need to hear. Keep up the good work.
I wish Jordan would be able to run an interview with Van, but I assume she'd get the sack for it
Omg that would genuinely be amazing!
They very clearly employ Whinge Merchants for their cartoonists lmao. They just endlessly seem to push the "not good enough" line without seeming to understand the complexities of government or how difficult it is to get things done, then continue to complain anyway when things do get done. It feels really dishonest at this point.
To any branchies on here, put up this motion please: ‘The [your branch] branch asks [your LGA leader], State Secretary [your state secretary] and National Secretary Paul Erickson why our LGA, state and federal offices do not publicly engage with Jordan Shanks through his platform, FriendlyJordies.’ We all know why, but I’m sick of it and want them to justify it.
It's better that we don't publically. It's the same reason he's not a member of the party.
I mean the Sloan zone is pro labour (tho he smol)
Yes, pro worker.
11:06 I agree, I think there's been a tide shift quite recently. I ,and I've noticed many others, have just gotten so tired of constantly hearing "this is shit that is shit everything that currently exists is shit and only getting worse". I think we as a collective have just gotten tired of the Whinge/Hate Merchants, people can only absorb so much negativity before they just start mentally deteriorating. And you can kind of see something similar with films and other media being released lately, they're so hopeful and positive but at the same time not many are deluding themselves into it by being ignorant.
The point Jordan makes about one nation is true, so many one nation supporters in punters comments.
I was a subscriber to the guardian until a video Jordan did nye 22', I don't read the cultural articles, just the news, because I didn't see many other options. The new daily picks and chooses, and the conversation is not news directly. So I cancelled and pay for independent Australia even if it's a bit scattered. The guardian for current news isn't too... Bad, but I don't read Thier editorials besides Van Badham's. The new daily regularly has people who work for the Australia institute making editorials and I can pick it a km off now without even looking at who wrote it. Because it will be shitting on Labor for not doing enough. Every time. Michael west media, same story now. Their retort about being whinge Merchants is that the Australia Institute uses MWM's data.
I have stopped my financial support of the Guardian as they keep spouting shite. The anti-labor tilt is getting beyond a joke as is their 'vegan' bias - i now suffer the begging banners but still get to read their stuff - even as it shits me. It is quite a thing when nearly all mainstream media are weak in the same way - failing to ask the right questions or investigate sufficiently to get the fact straight.
The thing I've noted about single issue voters is despite their claimed dedication they barely understand their chosen topic. Worse they don't ever explore the connections between their topic and other topics. They substitute aggression for accuracy and fundamentally then can easily mislead themselves, others or be mislead.
Can the you post the video on patreon ? I didn't see the live stream
The sloan zone isn't doing too bad a job but yes. There's no pro Labor media. When Conrad did the one video praising Labor he acted all pained about it despite his patreons asking for it! But he's a grifter for the Australia institute.
I think Sloan is still too I am an independent progressive. He was way to non critical of Greens supporting Liberals because Labor didn't concede enough to get into government
Do you think Van Badham would talk on this? Being a good writer, pro-Labor and a writer for The Guardian? Might be hard as contacts would likely make that hard
I've asked her if she would publish on ia and the answer was no.
As a Tasmanian, THANKYOU!
I wonder if Israeli influence has anything to do with the Guardian’s strike against your channel.🤔
It would be a touch ironic that the outlet of choice for all the pro-palestine protester types would be backed by Israel and ordered to target Jordan.
