not hearing any of that infamous balance on the wireless today.
be a good day to #RaiseTheRate.
RN busy prosecuting the myth of royal neutrality.
removing a lawfully elected government that has the confidence of the House is not politically neutral.
imagine speaking to George Brandis #OTD and not asking whether his cereal box silk goes by QC or KC.

good morning from unceded Darug lands☀️today on #Insiders are press gallery veterans Laura Tingle (now ABC) and Paul Kelly (murdoch sinecure for life or something). The interviews are with Prime Minister Anthony Albanese and LOTO Peter Dutton. And John Howard.
opening spiel: the GG is about to declare Charles III king of Australia. Speers says the death of QEII is a profound moment “for Australia”. It would be more profound if nobody declared Charles III our king lol #Insiders
she visited Parliament House, where Speers is now, he says again, 11 years ago. He then claims collective “affection” for QEII on behalf of 25 million people, which is simply incapable of being accurate. She was there through [lists some atrocities without blame] #Insiders

they trained for years to perform a single correct take on the death of QEII and seem blithely unaware that there is a word for this kind of thing.

seems compliance was bought incredibly cheaply - with the laughable assertion that death of a foreign nonagenarian is the biggest “live” coverage story of their careers. Not the gravest public interest. Not planetary survival. Journalist careers.
it speaks so much to ruling class strategy that these very highly paid public figures - whose training put them on live coverage of an insurrection in the most heavily armed, the most dangerous country on earth - are convinced a dead 96 year old is peak “live coverage”.

one of the many opportunities to do something useful that she rejected: Larrakia Petition, 1972.

36 hours later the ABC speaks to someone with facts to hand about King Charles III. He was a conduit for Kerr, Prof Hocking reminds us, and his role in executive removal of an elected government was kept secret from the public for decades.
and the establishment spent millions of public dollars protecting Charles III from public knowledge of his active participation in unlawfully removing the only genuinely reformist prime minister we ever had.
there are two other interviews on the ABC worth listening to - just my opinion - in the last 36 hours or so. One is with Peter Yu on RN Breakfast (below) and the other with Wesley Enoch on #WorldToday (noon, yesterday).

real time case study in why “history will judge X harshly” statements are invariably a pathetic copout.
the Philip drivel went for days. We could be in for weeks of this traumatising garbage.
willing to bet that not one person in the history of mass media ratings has ever said they want 24/7 coverage of a single death thanks.

good morning☀️happy Sunday! Today on #Insiders are TSP chief political corro Karen Middleton, ABC journo-at-large Fran Kelly, and Guardian Aust politics corro Sarah Martin. The interview is with Skills and Training Minister Brendan O’Connor.
opening spiel is a rundown of jobs summit announcements, including “no quick fix on wages”. Speers highlights the skilled migration intake, TAFE places and working pensioners. #Insiders
we are then told “the tone” matters as much as concrete outcomes. Last week we were told that real outcomes matter more than talkfest announcements.
This type of coverage is about media asserting control over public perception. #Insiders
