Trump is starting a war with Venezuela to sidetrack the news cycle from the Epstein files. It’s unfathomable that the people around Trump aren’t able to manage this dangerous, mentally unfit, psychopathic president. All his supporters have blood on their hands.

For some enterprising media journalist, there is a book just aching to be written about how Bari Weiss (CBS), Will Lewis (WaPo) and Chris Licht (CNN) irreparably destroyed their storied news organizations at the behest of the billionaire owners seeking to suck up to Trump.

The bad news is that it appears CBS News has fallen.
The good news is that independent media has been ready for this moment.

Bari Weiss’ rebrand of CBS News as “Fox News but way less successful!” is coming along apace.
Incredible. CBS Evening News announces five new “simple values” — instead of their “38-page handbook” — as they roll out Tony Dokoupil is lead anchor.
One of those values is simply: “We love America and make no apologies for saying so.”

When news reporters claim to care more about uninformed opinion than they do with expertise and facts, you know something is very, very wrong. CBS is on a slippery slope towards being yet another political weapon of the hard right, just like Fox News.
CBS announces they're turning into a Fox News clone, explaining to people
that there will be no more academic and vetted journalism, instead more of gut feeling and echo chamber twitter reporting. They are desperate because the boomers are not leaving fox news and they lack credibility for everyone

This is Bari Weiss’s MAGA propaganda. When Weiss chose to kill an investigative journalist piece which legitimately and factually critiqued the Trump administration - exactly the watchdog journalism America needs - she showed CBS can no longer be trusted to speak truth to power. Shame!

We watched a madman get back into the White House, who let billionaires hijack our federal government, slash our benefits to fund their government handouts & tax cuts, while stealing our data to feed their Orwellian surveillance systems

Anyone who says the Trump movement is not a white supremacist movement is not paying attention.
DHS now says it's aiming for 100 million deportations. In an amazing coincidence, there are 104 million Black and Hispanic people living in the U.S. right now.

Let’s put this another way. If Donald Trump is not a co-conspiracist paedophile with Jeffrey Epstein, then why is his administration so scared of full transparency in releasing the Epstein files? Why are they fighting the law, dragging their feet, and redacting so much? What has Trump got to hide?

Australians are rightly shocked and disgusted by Sussan Ley accusing the Labor govt of not showing enough grief at the Bondi attack. The sick politicisation of terrorism by the Liberals - ignoring calls for unity - has been so ugly. Days before Christmas. Shame on all of them!

Thank you Amy Remeikis for calling out the horrendous political opportunism of the Liberals in using a terror attack to score political points. Everyone I have spoken to about this devastating attack has agreed the Liberals are making a tragic situation worse.

Every “journalist” who is helping the hard right anti-immigrant Liberal Party use a terror attack to spread fear and hatred and to undermine the Labor government should hang their heads in shame. We know News Corp exists to run these campaigns, but what’s the ABC’s excuse?

Australians should be standing against racism, antisemitism, Islamophobia, bigotry, discrimination, hatred in all its forms. Let’s remember that the recent “anti-immigration” marches were crawling with antisemite Nazis. People need to be clear who they stand with and stand against in this debate!

Frydenberg’s statements blaming Bondi terrorist attack on Albo are outrageous. Extremism and radicalisation exists in every society. Frydenberg and everyone else - inc. News Corp - who are using a devastating terrorist attack to score political points against Labor should be ashamed of themselves

If you’re an Australian politician or activist using the Bondi terror attack to provoke hate towards immigrants, while also opposing quite clearly necessary gun law reform, we see you! Shame!

Shame on everyone who didn’t even wait a day to use an abhorrent, devastating terrorist attack to create fear and division - exactly what terrorists want. Anyone using a national tragedy for political point scoring should be ashamed of themselves! From all ends of the political spectrum.

New SA Liberal leader Ashton Hurn has started her tenure by vowing to scrap SA’s successful Voice to Parliament. Thankfully Hurn will never be the premier so this won’t happen, but it’s just a sign that she is as MAGA as extremist Alex Antic, offering nothing but hate and division. Shame on her!

Predictably, News Corp have ignored teachers’ pleas for them to stop pitting schools against each other by publishing uncontextualised rankings. Since they’ve ignored this, I’m sharing the list of Australia’s most untrusted brands. News Corp number 8 - should be higher! A toxic stain on Australia.
