Media aids One Nation’s grift, ABC staff strike, Rupert Murdoch pushes for Iran attack

from We Used to be Journos

In this episode, Jan Fran and Antoinette look at the role the media played in One Nation’s South Australian election surge and ask how should the media report on Hanson moving forward? Plus: the Aussie news site pumping out hundreds of timely and factual news stories with zero journalists - just one software engineer and a whole lot of theft (and A.I). Then, how much sway did Rupert Murdoch have over Donald Trump’s attack on Iran? We unpack how Murdoch’s ideology trickles down to his reporters.Also, ABC staff walk off the job for the first time in 20 years. What’s behind the strike—and what on earth is the “Lattouf clause”?READ Alex Fein's article 'Polarisation is a myth' SUPPORT Ette Media by becoming a subscriber here.If you want to see our mugs as we yap you can watch the episode in full here.
