As journalists we have to walk a fine line, and sensitive stories often need to pass internal legal reviews before publication. I like how Wired handled this — the headline doesn’t mince words and actually shows you how Musk’s salute is being received by Nazis www.wired.com/story/neo-na...

not sure that the news outlets tripping over themselves to compare Peter Dutton's appearance on a Olympic diver's podcast (currently rank #209 on the Aus podcast business charts) to Trump's podcast strategy realised how little reach it got. I don't think it'll tip the scales
