Have a Good Sook Why Don’t You?
There was a collective tanty from government-funded media across the world yesterday, as they had a good old sook over being labelled, well, government-funded media. As part of his bid to increase transparency on Twitter — which includes removing millions of “bot” accounts — Elon Musk has rolled out a
ABC Runs Silent on Thorpe Latest
I wonder if the ABC will cover the story, now? For two days, the Australian media have been all over the story of a high-profile senator being ejected and banned from a Melbourne strip club, after launching a racist tirade. The Australian media… with one very notable exception. Two
Nonsense from Trevor Richards
Sir Bob Jones nopunchespulled.com Recently the NZ Herald published a ridiculous article from Trevor Richards, a name probably meaning nothing to New Zealanders under about 35 years of age.

The Leaker and the Media
In the aftermath of the outing and arrest of Massachusetts Air National Guardsman Jack Teixeira, the 21-year-old leaker of national security documents, over there at The New York Sun, journalist Matthew Rice headlines a very appropriate question.
