CNN’s latest takedown of Julian Assange is rife with assertions that WikiLeaks worked in concert with Russian hackers. None of it is true, in fact, even the laziest Googling can disprove it.
@Unity4J, one of the largest Twitter accounts supporting Julian Assange has been taken down. The social media platform gave no reason for doing so.
Last night, Four Corners suggested massive corruption within the plan to save the Murray-Darling Basin. This morning, both sides of the issue have sparred through press releases.
Yesterday, the heads of our biggest media organisations banded together to seek greater protections for their journalists. But, what is on the table, and what can we realistically expect?
Despite data showing the opposite, Netflix has repeatedly denied that it leans to the left. Apparently, politics doesn’t enter into it. So why did they give the Obamas a multi-project deal?
It’s not just extreme examples like Julian Assange, the right to be heard, and the concept of dissent have been severely wounded.
This morning, the words of Israel Folau hit the front pages. If we’re so opposed to his message, at what point do we stop magnifying it?

The coverage of politics in this country is fundamentally flawed, as we too often report the personalities over the actual policy.
It was the great climate mystery of 2018. Who was responsible for the massive uptick in the use of banned ozone-destroying chemicals? After much work, researchers think they know who is responsible.
The data we archive today becomes history tomorrow. So, considering that we’re writing our own canon, I’m wondering who is saving exactly what.
Avengers: Endgame and the last Game of Thrones represent the end of dork culture. It will still be around, but I fear we’ve reached the top of Everest.
