I wonder what Australian and other Western so-called journalists think would protect them if there was to be a conflict (not even an armed one, but certainly an armed one) on their home turf. So smug. So wishy-washy. So disappointing.

Pulitzer Prize–winning journalist Chris Hedges and I have plenty to cover — his remarkable career, the betrayal of Palestinian journalists, the National Press Club fiasco, and *that* ABC Late Night Live interview.

I started tuning out from news; it was so full of puff pieces and piffle. Now I’m really picky about my sources and feel less jaded.
Bravo for digging around in MSM.
What say you to a show about reliable alternative news sources, especially from non-Western regions?
Thanks for your excellent show.

Exactly so!

And we won’t even get them before that.

Reckon so. Biggest disappointment.

Salt of the earth, both …

A 2 panel political cartoon titled “NAIDOC 2025: A Voice to Parliament Finally Achieved.”Top panel: An Aboriginal Elder with a YES23 badge addresses PM Anthony Albanese. She says:“Can we have a Voice to Parliament — to speak on genocide, systemic neglect, our right to self-determination, and to advocate for our communities with respect and honesty?”Albanese replies:“Uh… well… that would require a costly, divisive, uncertain referendum…”Bottom panel: Jillian Segal, wearing Israeli and South African flags as lapel pins, speaks forcefully to Albanese.She says:“We want to radically shape national policy and gain sweeping powers to censor speech — across education, media, the arts, and public life — to protect a foreign apartheid state currently committing genocide. Highlighting dead Palestinian children makes Zionists uncomfortable. We want that silenced.”Albanese, now smiling with blood on his hands, replies eagerly:“Say no more!!!”

Officer-induced jeopardy • Karen Middleton The NT coroner spells out the long series of events that led to Kumanjayi Walker’s death

So, will the organisation with all the power and all the history have the courage to act swiftly and honourably so that the issues identified with that culture are no longer a risk to the First Nations populations in the NT 🤔

And even if that is not her intention, it is certainly the effect of her words and behaviour. I hope she is held to account.

Picture showing a protest against the genocide in Palestine. Text saying: Sign the Sarajevo Declaration of the Gaza People’s Tribunal. Please share.

If you have a mo, please share & sign the petition to honour the Sarajevo declaration of the Gaza People’s tribunal. It’s a quick way to join with others internationally to make your voice heard.

And that is the limit of her capacity 🙄

Patricia Hyperbolos is an outstanding example of the blank stare of modern mainstream media; an impediment to well informed public discussion.

Youse women rock!!! Thanks for looking in the dark corners and ferreting out the facts. Looking forward to more.

Has YouTube banned The Shot for promoting controversial independent thinking and analysis? 🤔

Again, enough brain food to keep me going for days. I (wistfully) long for this level of interrogation of really important public issues from elsewhere in the media. All too rare and therefore all the more necessary that The Shot stays alive. 🎓

Littlewit! (Yes, it’s come to ad hominem attacks). Who are these nobodies, and why are they getting so much airplay?

Seeking justice for Kumanjayi White The killing of a 24-year-old Aboriginal man being arrested in an Alice Springs shop is the ninth First Nations death in custody in Australia this year.

Another young Aboriginal man killed by NT police. I wholly concur with Yuendumu community and Andrew Boe’s assertion that an independent inquiry is the only viable option.

I despair at what is happening to civilians, ordinary people in Gaza.
Wee children are being bombed and starved, deprived of proper medical care, education, music, play, and the freedom to sleep and laugh.
It must stop. History will not look kindly on those who simply stood by.

If only one didn’t have to bear Patricia Hyperbolas in order to watch.

This was my thought/hope too. An acknowledgement that the community wants more and is experiencing regret for our mistake.

Tonight, Australia voted No to ignorance & Yes to Acknowledgement; No to xenophobia & Yes to Welcomes; No to regression & Yes to progress.

Peter Dutton, Jacinta Price, Clive Palmer, Pauline Hanson, the IPA & Advance henceforth have no mandate. They’ve been thoroughly told NO.

Thank goodness for broad ranging unvarnished and relevant contemplation of the facts at hand.

A woman, I believe. Perhaps you could leave the gaslighting to the failed candidate.

The Guardian winds the prize for making me laugh out loud this morning. Headline: Andrew Bolt says it was the voters who were wrong as Sky News commentators grieve Dutton election loss.
