An ED doctor told me recently about a patient who presented to ED with florid psychosis, apparently being reinforced by ChatGPT. The patient insisted they had to keep talking to it because “it was the only one who understood them.”

I think the word 'read' in the context of The Courier Mail is perhaps the wrong verb:

“skimmed”

“glanced at”

“scanned”

“picked over”

and after you can say the "reader" :
“was fed”

“was given”

“was supplied with”

“was exposed to messaging from…”

A head of state who publicly celebrated bombs used on civilians should not be welcomed by Australia. Inviting Isaac Herzog isn’t diplomacy — it’s complicity. There is no moral cover for this decision.
