The Shocking Reality of the Gaza ‘Peace’ Plan, Media Ownership Gets Worse, and Our Tips On Fixing Newspapers

Os and Scott open this episode by discussing Paul Thomas Anderson's new film 'One Battle After Another' and why it's Os' favourite film of the year. Then they unpack Donald Trump and Benjamin Netanyahu's disastrous new 'peace' plan for Gaza. They discuss why the plan is a horrific example of neo-colonialism driven by corrupt Western leaders and real estate developers and how Australia's Prime Minister and media establishment have largely lined up behind it.Later in the episode, they discuss the new advertising campaign being rolled out by The Age and The Sydney Morning Herald, why it misses the mark, and share their thoughts on what the newspapers could be doing instead if they want to rebuild trust with their audiences.Plus, they cover the impending merger between Seven and radio and podcast behemoth SCA, and why its a bad sign for media diversity, and the ongoing reluctance of mainstream media to acknowledge the rise of independent media.New episodes of Lamestream drop on Mondays and Thursdays.
