ABC Tries to Memory-Hole Inconvenient Tweets

COVID Shows Why You Need Independent Media

COVID has demonstrated the absolute necessity of independent media. Sure, it seems somewhat morbid to speak of a “silver lining” to the Wuhan Plague and unseemly, perhaps, to use it to blow our own trumpets, but there it is: if it weren’t for sites like The BFD, who would
