Hi Sally. When Weiss published a supposed expose on the death of George Floyd, a veteran criminal justice reporter showed in deep detail that the piece was not just wrong but filled with falsehoods and misrepresentations. Weiss did not retract the piece. What do you think of that?
This is really smart. Amazed at the hysteria over the ascendance of a woman entrepreneur who clearly knows how to cover and sell news and who's not afraid to take on a mob. www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv...

Without even getting into hyperbole, Abbott was likely the most destructive Prime Minister Australia has had in living memory - of a very old person - with quite a baleful legacy, indeed.
Then, there's a bit where he all but ran out of ideas within two years and was unceremoniously dumped.
