Os and Scott break down Anti-Semitism Envoy Jillian Segal's incendiary and often incoherent attacks on the ABC and SBS at the Royal Commission and how it was part of a bigger plan being pushed by the pro-Israel lobby to influence the media's coverage of Israel.
They step through Segal's plan for a new board staffed with pro-Israel figures to monitor the ABC's coverage, what the consequences of that would be and how likely it is to actually be enacted.
Later in the episode, they discuss Pauline Hanson's decision to appear on far-right activist Tommy Robinson's podcast and how it positions her to the right of Nigel Farage. They also examine the wall-to-wall, uncritical coverage from the Australian media.
Finally, they cover Donald Trump's latest attack on the media with the FBI issuing subpoenas to five journalists from The New York Times in an attempt to get them to reveal their sources.
