In retrospect, Albanese giving Sky the debate on paywall, just so that he can win the debate and make Murdoch media look like idiots as they back peddle, might have actually been a stroke of genius.

"Across the last 48 hours, “Signalgate” has morphed from one scandal into what I think is best thought of as five distinct overlapping scandals, as well as providing some fascinating political insight into who has power and how decisions get made in Trump II."

This is a shocking story but not even close to the most shocking thing to happen to detainees. The detention centres are privately run and have financial incentive to obstruct efforts by detainees or their friends and advocates to get them out even when they have been mistakenly detained.
"I was stuck in a freezing cell without explanation despite eventually having lawyers and media attention. Yet, compared with others, I was lucky." Canadian entrepreneur and actor Jasmine Mooney, who was detained in the US for two weeks, writes for the Guardian about her experience.

Allsides, far from being unbiased, is actually measuring the social shift to the right in recent years rather than accurately judging bias. Adfrontsmedia on the other hand lists Associated Press as "middle" (which is accurate). Associated Press is centre but that seems Far Left now.

This is the crew of Artemis. All crew members are highly qualified and 100% certified for the mission. Yet two of them are technically "DEI" hires, since NASA wanted to ensure a cross sectional representation of crew. That Crew Selection is now potentially at risk
