Parliament Becomes a Joke, the SMH's War Crimes Hypocrisy and the Problem With Sports Media. Plus, Trump Now Runs Hollywood?
Description
Os and Scott talk about the bizarre news that Donald Trump has forced a major Hollywood studio to commission Rush Hour 4 and what that reveals about how grim the state of entertainment and culture is now.
They unpack the bizarre week in federal Parliament, including Pauline Hanson's burqa stunt and what the political and media reaction revealed about racism in Australia, before discussing the negotiations taking place over a new bill to reform environmental laws and what that tells us about the dynamic between Labor and the Greens.
Later in the episode they discuss The Sydney Morning Herald's new campaign targeting the Russian government, and why the newspaper is so willing to criticise Putin for committing war crimes but is unable to do the same thing in relation to Israel.
And in Keeping Tabs: A new editor at The Sydney Morning Herald, who is really backing Erin Molan's pro-Israel content, and a conversation about the state of sports media in Australia.
