In this episode of Lamestream, released a day ahead of schedule, Os and Scott react to the "March for Australia" held over the weekend. They report on how some of Australia's biggest media companies did their best to promote and boost the rally, before Os describes his experience of attending the counter-protest and observing the far-right march.
They also look at the media and political reaction to event, and unpack why newsrooms are seriously unequipped to cover the rise of the far-right and how Australia's major political parties are fuelling white supremacy.
Later in the episode, Scott covers Israel's plan to forcible relocate the entire population of Gaza, accelerating the genocide and ethnic cleansing of the region.
Plus, an update on the media's fascination with alleged serial cop-killer Dezi Freeman and a brief reflection on Blue Murder, the iconic Australian TV show that turned 30 this week.
