Unpacking the Iran Bombshell, the Pro-Israeli Media Vortex and the AFL's Snoop Dogg Drama
Description
On Tuesday, Australia's domestic spy agency ASIO sensationally revealed that it believed Iran was behind multiple anti-semitic arson attacks in Melbourne and Sydney. Scott and Os step through ASIO's announcement, the government's response and the media reaction, before discussing the unanswered questions that remain outstanding. They also talk about where this leaves the media, who have spent nearly two years blaming these attacks on pro-Palestine protesters and calling for an end to the protests.
Later in the episode, Scott shares his investigation into how Qanon-esque Israeli media outlets spread misinformation and propaganda, and how that seeps its way into mainstream Australian news coverage.
Plus, they discuss the media coverage of the extremist violence that led to the death of two police officers in rural Victoria, and finally they look at the relentless coverage over Snoop Dogg's controversial upcoming performance at the AFL Grand Final.
