smh.com.au/politics/feder… A thoughtful analysis of- itself showing journalistic maturing in Australian commentary.

Even with the most modern precision weapons on the planet, surprising how often Israel misses its target, kills innocent people, apologises, promises to investigate & finds no one was at fault. And then does it all over again. cnn.com/2025/07/17/mid…

CBS’s billionaire owners pay Trump $16 million to settle a bogus lawsuit while trying to sell the network to Skydance. Stephen Colbert, an extraordinary talent and the most popular late night host, slams the deal. Days later, he's fired. Do I think this is a coincidence? NO.

RETWEET if you stand with Stephen Colbert after Paramount/CBS fired him.

CBS canceled Colbert’s show just THREE DAYS after Colbert called out CBS parent company Paramount for its $16M settlement with Trump – a deal that looks like bribery. America deserves to know if his show was canceled for political reasons. Watch and share his message.

smh.com.au/national/legal… Great to see anonymous bullies bite the dust.

🚨 HUMILIATING: This video of Trump saying he's surprised Biden put in Powell as Fed Chair while a video of Trump nominating Powell HIMSELF plays below is going viral. Share this video of Trump's mental decline because the media won't. They're too busy giving wall-to-wall…

OMG how inspiring is Ocean Vuong - a Vietnamese American writer with extraordinary insight. Than you @abc730 for a truly magnificent interview.

A big shout out for the job being done by @SteveCannane for his work filling in on @RNBreakfast. The standard of journalism up there with Sally Sara. The best the national broadcaster has to offer.

The special envoy’s plan is the latest push to weaponise antisemitism in Australia, as a relentless campaign pays off | Louise Adler | The Guardian Thank you Louise for your courageos clarity theguardian.com/commentisfree/…

Whatever else Ms Segal and her co-drafters wanted to achieve of a document that should very quickly find its way into a dustbin, they have brought out the best in some. Kudos to Louise Adler for speaking up against a corrosive prejudice, as always 😑 theguardian.com/commentisfree/…

Jillian Segal in another train wreck interview on ABC. Complaining about an ABC report while ignoring the genocide, ethnic cleansing and inhumanity of the Israeli govt and military against innocent civilians in Gaza.

The shape of the day thesaturdaypaper.com.au/comment/editor… via @SatPaper A deeply spiritual reflection and a reminder of the evil of importing old hatred’s to the new world of multicultural Australia.
