I think the word 'read' in the context of The Courier Mail is perhaps the wrong verb:
“skimmed”
“glanced at”
“scanned”
“picked over”

“was fed”
“was given”
“was supplied with”
“was exposed to messaging from…”
“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.
