3. Ignoring the convicted war criminal leading a genocide and starving children in Palestine, many of Australia’s football reporters fell straight into line behind their colleague.

An Australian media story in 3 parts.

1. high profile AFL footballer known for the courage of his convictions shares what - in a sane world - would be a completely uncontroversial post by the manager of an internationally popular band.

This journalist.
