Megyn R Kelly is trying to create a permission structure to forgive sex abusers, rapists and pedophiles. Apparently it’s only bad if the victim is 5, not if she’s 15.
Kelly’s daughter is 13.
Reminder: If the person you’re trying to have sex with is too young to consent, it’s not sex. It’s rape.

I’d have to question my life choices if my employer paid me to write articles that got me investigated by the Human Rights Commission for racism.
Not this lot though.

I’ve finished two rounds of marking and have one to go.
My favourites so far:
- Describing a global news story as “ready to break the internet”;
- Defining explainer journalism as “a deep dive with good sources”.
Gen Z is ace and I may have used emojis in their feedback. :)

I’m taking a break from marking second-year media law and ethics explainers.
I just realised I’ve written “ew paragraph” a couple of times instead of “new paragraph”.
Sometimes it’s a fair comment but it’s not the message I want to convey about structure.

It's within the rules, but that should change - politicians receiving travel allowance to stay in homes they or their spouses own in Canberra is a very, very broken system

But the child's parents said she wasn't bullied on social media. Which News would have known if they contacted them before publishing.

Thomas Sewell is a very dangerous man. That he can turn up threatening the premier two days after being filmed attacking Camp Sovereignty and he still isn't arrested is quite something.

IMO, Rupert Murdoch is not turning against Trump. News Corp is doing what it does best: making bank from politics.
The WSJ article isn’t breaking anything. It will allow Trump to release what he believes are the “pertinent” Epstein files, relieving some of the pressure he’s under.
