The Olivia Nuzzi story and the Bari Weiss at CBS story are the same story, which is that the upper echelons of legacy media are absolutely rife with people who worship power and don't feel burdened by any sense of responsibility to their profession or the public.

Cannot believe how concussed the discussion is in Australia. We have a major security problem - two extremists training with (?) ISIS overseas and had easy access to guns – and Sussan Ley is releasing an Action Plan that is like "We will amend the Australian Research Council Act"

The Greens, independent MPs and gun safety advocates are urging the Minns Labor government to remove recreational hunting as a “genuine reason” for owning guns in New South Wales as the government prepares to introduce urgent legislation after the Bondi massacre.
Such a move would dramatically reduce the number of gun licences within NSW, but could cause backlash from some shooters. Continue reading...

The idea that changing a definition to include criticism of Israel as being anti-Semitic and cracking down even further on anti-genocide protests would have in any way made anyone safer is madness. That the Coalition have so comprehensively jumped to blame here is insanity. Who is this speaking to?
