Here’s 4 threads from senior journalists, including me, detailing the mainstream media’s collusion in the normalisation of hate speech. Time to take stock.

1. @GMegalogenis on the transformation of the Oz

2. @pryorlisa - SMH

3. @PhillipCoorey - general, especially Channel 7 and Sky

4. Me in 2017 - Sky after Dark in league with Hanson & Latham, who Sky after Dark give regular softball, agree-with-everything-you-say interviews.


Me yesterday, Sky after Dark in league with Hanson & Latham again -
5. @Raf_Epstein - Seven, NewsCorp, Sky after Dark

6. @rgcooke is the 6th senior journo to bell the cat on msm extremism - his thread bells the cat on Sky after Dark after @chriskkenny falsely called the charge a lie on Sky after Dark last night -

7. The 7th senior journo to beg the media to take stock, the brilliant @Gay_Alcorn (my sister) - on @sunrise8 and Bolt (and she has the guts to reflect on her decision to back Milo coming here on free speech grounds).

1. WOW! Morrison threatens a defamation writ against Waleed Ali for citing a @lenoretaylor story reporting he wanted to run an anti-Muslim campaign in 2011.

thenewdaily.com.au/news/national/…
2. But @lenoretaylor had MULTIPLE sources who gave the same info to other journalists and stands by it- any courageous enough to go on record? Bring it on!

3. Case closed? Morrison did not deny the reports at the time!

(and Defamation not a starter in these circumstances?)

Here’s how you do Christmas music: the definitive guide. Dec 15-20: keep it light and modern. Explore the new rocker Christmas songs. Check out @johnlegend this year. Toward the end of this period pare down to the sure classics like Mariah 1/
Dec 21-23: the Jazz Age. Get your Dizzy, Ella, Louis. IMPORTANT: now is the time to introduce instrumentals only too. This will be pivotal for the big day. You can start a light LIGHT rotation of the real classics Bing and co. but be careful. You don’t want to blow it here. 2/
Dec. 24: Don’t haste. Have the list ready at your bedside and start it off. Heavy heavy classics on repeat. White Christmas, Holly Jolly Christmas, and my favorite Marshmallow World. If the song has written while you have been alive, you’re doing it wrong. Sound volume up.

1/ Amid Twitter maybe getting rid of the "like" to promote "better dialog" and certainly giving safe haven to nazis and other extremists, a rant:
2/ You probably noticed how, people came forward to say that they'd reported the bomber for violent threats, and Twitter (as always) did nothing and (as always) now apologizes but (as always) won't say how they'll better handle. They won't, and I'll tell you one big reason why.
3/ to address complaints about threats and "improve the dialog" Twitter introduced the "quality filter." You see fewer threats and hate speech. BUT THAT DOESN'T MEAN THERE'S LESS OF IT.

Recommendation 15: ZBC needs to be reformed into a truly independent public service
broadcaster and state-owned media must abide by their legal obligation to be impartial and
provide equitable treatment to all political parties and candidates.- @eueomzimbabwe

#media #Zimbabwe
@eueomzimbabwe In accordance with the Electoral Act, from 4 July the state broadcaster ZBC afforded free access to political contestants through various programming aired on TV and radio stations. - @eueomzimbabwe report

#media #Zimbabwe
@eueomzimbabwe Nevertheless, ZBC failed to abide by its legal obligation of ensuring equitable and fair treatment to all political parties and candidates in its news and current affairs programmes.- @eueomzimbabwe report
