Indigenous diggers, WW1. Good enough to fight for our country. But not to be acknowledged by The Thug Dutton.

Internal News Corp planning docs shows that Daily Telegraph journalists spent a week planning using secretly recording video glasses to show "peopls [sic] reaction to this jewish man"

CCTV shows that he went into a cafe, ordered a drink, loitered for a few minutes and just walked out.
The Daily Telegraph prepared for a story featuring an ‘undercover Jewish man’ using covert recording eyewear. CCTV footage and internal files seen by Crikey show it didn’t go as planned.

She has set an example for all decent people to follow. And how tawdry and pathetic Trump and his crew looked as she spoke truth to their gawping faces.

And yet, MAGA agents like News Corp and the LNP, who continue to support Trump’s ‘Christian’ facade, will dutifully and desperately find some twisted way to condemn her because she dared to burst their delusional bubble by speaking to truth

I suspect the Bluesky team have their hands full at the minute, but if they need encouragement to look into a Facebook equivalent, I'm in.
I will donate to a development fund for Bluesky to build a Facebook equivalent. Please share this skeet if you would, too.
It would be so good if the bsky team had funding to build a fb competitor

The European Federation of Journalists will “no longer participate in a social network that its owner has transformed into a machine of disinformation and propaganda”.

Time for Aus journos to follow.
But NewsCorp should stay with X. They do disinfo too.
