This week,
news that Roald Dahl’s words would be sanitised drew the ire of many. Writing for Crikey,
James Ley railed against the decision,
arguing we shouldn’t shy from the author’s racist tropes and vindictive moralism.
Also this week,
Julia Bergin wrote on a misleading breakfast television segment anti-vaxxers rallied behind,
John Buckley covered the reality of our alleged “wage-price spiral”,
and Charlie Lewis introduced you to Dan Andrews’ popularity secret.
Meanwhile Cam Wilson went deep on a little-known company spying on you in thousands of stores,
and elsewhere delved into the colourful emails from controversial new Victorian Liberal MP Moira Deeming.
We also had Guy Rundle criticising Labor’s law-and-order push on kids,
David Hardaker asking who Scott Morrison speaks for when he weighs into foreign policy debates,
and Christopher Warren taking a look at recent revelations at Fox News.
All that plus journalism academic Alexandra Wake on the ethics of News Corp publishing notes from Brittany Higgins’ diaries.
We hope you have a magical weekend, |
