@NTA That is the best meme. This thread seems to be a post articles from conservative media complaining about non conservative media treatment of the PM thread. I’m keeping up to date mostly through TSF and friends sending articles so I’m getting both sides of the media ... it’s all some good and some bad.
On the Ayatollah Morrison, I don’t think he’s doing a bad job per se, but that meme highlights some of the issues here in Oz. No one knows what the fuck is going on ... we’re in the in between, people are just doing their own shit because the govt aren’t making things clear. We all know that people are idiots even when given much greater clarity as evidenced by the NZ thread.

Naturally when you've got a conservative government in power that was put there with the assistance of a conservative media put a conservative slant on everything.
I don't get the criticism of the ABC - and fully acknowledge that I lean politically to the left in saying that - when they've been told to give the government a free run under threat of funding cuts. Sometimes they bite back, but mostly they just report "the facts" as they've been told them.

Multiple levels of government don't help. But the Libs in NSW are more aligned with the ALP in Victoria on this and other issues, than they are with the Federal LNP - mainly because it gets held hostage by a few rightwing crazies and can barely keep the rest in line.

All these stories of people going to the beach. I'm questioning whether I nip out to Bunnings to pick up a deadlock so we can secure a house we're trying to sell when all this dies down (my wife's grandfather passed away 9 months ago and we were in the middle of renovation).

I find this being thrown out to be disingenuous, the "it's harder for him because of states ...", it doesn't mean we can't measure his performance with all that taken into account.

There is an older Dr in the UK who has got a lot of traction on YouTube for his very simple videos and easy to understand manner. Check out his channel here. https://www.youtube.com/user/Campbellteaching/videos
Found his video on Vitamin D very interesting.

Anyone in particular?
I think the waffle at the start of ScoMo's updates is actually all him. Maybe the empathy consultant trying to experiment.

unlike the media, we fully acknowledge how ill-informed our opinions are. And don't try to pass them off as facts (in the main anyway)

Tone-deaf idiocy. Sadder still, this wasn’t somebody elses’ “gottcha!” This was the photograph they themselves chose to accompany their own headline.

What was I thinking? Anyways, here are some of the words. Great words.
There have been a lot more empty seats at President Trump’s daily press briefings — but no, news organizations aren’t boycotting the events in protest or attempting to silence him, despite what he suggested at a briefing earlier this week.
Instead, something else is afoot: Reporters are keeping their distance because they are concerned about the health risks at a time when many consider the president’s evening news conferences to have become increasingly less newsworthy.
The decision by such outlets as The Washington Post, New York Times and CNBC to stay away may be fundamentally changing the character of the briefings. With veteran White House reporters on the sidelines, the president has primarily engaged with TV journalists, including one from a small, far-right conservative news channel that rarely gets such a prominent stage.
Hey @Duluth @Kirwan I tried to italicise those paras above but didn't work?
