From 22 minutes on, the brains trust over at the Guardian. Firstly not even aware we’re into year 4 of the pandemic. Then all sagely concluding the community ‘won’t support’ further Covid measures, regurgitating a LNP talking point as analysis. /1 #auspol https://t.co/A4CDiC4wgD

That lack of support is led. Just as support for ongoing terrible privation and action in wartime is led. Not one mention of the over 20,000 dead from Covid directly and indirectly in the past year. More regurgitated talking points about that being only the ‘vulnerable’. /2

A professional political class totally divorced from the actual realities of life, whose every fart and whispered gossip gets reported as political journalism by a political journalism that’s descended into slight edits of daily talking posts from the parties. /3

Imagine being one of these journalists, coming off a year where more than 20,000 died as a result of a pandemic that never went away, and not even ever mentioning those deaths. 20,000! You’re on your own, people. /end
