Sick of all the "COULD leave Liverpool" takes. Yes, people have legs and the Liverbird has wings, even the Liverbird could leave Liverpool, journomen. How about some actual news, or some actual writing, now that you're all afraid you won't have jobs because even machines could write this garbage?

ABC news actually did a segment with an on-the-ground reporter talking about "The struggle for Greenland." What? What? The American mainstream media is fucking the world over, spinning up a drama to please Donald Trump, a colossal buffoon and literal moron who couldn't pass a fifth grade social studies test. Do better. This while Trump is using his Nazi platform to spin up ridiculous propaganda about "protecting Greenland" as a pretext for a military invasion. Do better, #media

For 41 years I was a newspaper journalist, half of that time being in production - so, editing copy, designing pages, writing headlines.
In the 1990s in Liverpool I was presented with a weekly columnist's crushingly dull piece about how much he disliked the modern trend for breakfast meetings.
For hours I toiled with the headline until, eventually, it came to me: BREAKFAST ANTIPATHIES.
It fitted like a glove. And not a word of thanks came from the writer for rescuing his article! #journalism

A. Since entering politics the orange freak has told about 80,000 lies. Everything he says is a lie. Everything everyone who works for him says is a lie. It's all lies. It takes no energy to accept this simple fact.

Also everything they will say, probably ever, will be more lies.

The Cons are trying to flood the zone with shit. Sociologists warn that you're gonna get overwhelmed. They're wrong.

Things are very simple when we see the big picture. So let's spread the main message.

It takes very little mental energy to process these things, if we keep them in perspective.

🇹🇷 TURKEY | 🇸🇪 SWEDEN
🔴 Swedish Journalist Jailed in Turkey

🔸 Kaj Joakim Medin jailed for “terror links” & “insulting Erdogan.”
🔸 He was covering protests over Erdogan rival Imamoglu’s arrest.
🔸 Sweden demands consular access, says he’s punished for reporting.
🔸 Past warzone reporting also cited in charges.

The ABC is in urgent need of fundamental reform. Hopefully the Greens can use this as a precondition for lending support to the next Lab minority govt.

"And the rot clearly starts at the top.

During the 20 years of French and American wars in Vietnam, 63 journalists were killed. Over the seven years of World War II, 67 journalists were killed. In just 18 months, Israel has murdered 209 journalists. This is a journalist murderfest more grotesquely deliberate than any other conflict in history.

So how can the Chair of Australia’s public broadcaster swear life-long allegiance to a regime systematically murdering journalists and perpetually lying about its genocide?"
