Australia's Woeful Gaza Reporting, The AFL Media's Latest Pile-On, and Post-Election Grandstanding
Episode description
Os and Scott discuss how the Australian media is covering the Israeli government's announcement it will "conquer" Gaza and and forcibly relocate the Palestinian population. They talk about why the local outlets like the ABC seem to be doing a worse job at telling the truth compared to mainstream outlets in the US and Europe, and who influences reporting of the issue here in Australia.
Then they look at the growing furore in the AFL media over Fremantle captain Alex Pearce's sharing of an Instagram post by Irish rappers Kneecap, and the desperate attempt by News Corp, Seven and 3AW to drum up a culture war.
And in some more post-election analysis they talk about how different media outlets are responding to the result, and how some are coping much better than others.
