Zelenskyy: Trump is living in a “disinformation space”

Trump will be remembered by future generations as the WORST traitor in American history, and his sycophantic political supporters will be compared to those who decades ago supported Hitler.

CDC source: “We just had word that all our fellows and post doc staff are laid off effective immediately. The famous Epidemic Intelligence Service, aka the Disease Detectives, is no more. That’s 1260 staff. They are calling this ‘Phase 1’.”

This exchange encapsulates so much of what is wrong with the media: Former ABC Chair Ita Buttrose describes Antoinette Lattouf as “an activist”. “What was the view that Ms Lattouf had Ms Buttrose?” Lattouf’s lawyer asks. “I think she was critical of Israel” Buttrose says.

I'm still puzzling over Ita Buttrose claiming in court today that ABC staff had not checked into Ms Lattouf's background in any way, and Ms Buttrose had formed no opinion of her one way or the other - but somehow Ms Buttrose knew with great certainty that Ms Lattouf was an "activist". Eh?

“How could I not believe, when Ita tells me too?” I hope Cold Chisel are watching Ita’s testimony cause I think they might finally have an answer.

And absolutely vile that she said this👇🏻 (for some, Covid can still cause disability and death). "Ita Buttrose pushed for Antoinette Lattouf to be taken off-air, asking why she could not 'come down with flu, or COVID or a stomach upset?' after receiving a tranche of complaints about her presence."

Bureau of Meteorology is failing to maintain its weather observing system despite hundreds of millions in extra funding explicitly for that purpose, diverting those funds to cover cost blowouts elsewhere. Now it's $152 million in the hole as systems fail. www.thesaturdaypaper.com.au/news/environ...

Translation, Dutton will sack 1000's of APS staff then farm out this work to contractor mates that will charge millions for the same services, it's not rocket science this is all for them to enrich themselves #auspol
