  • ABC pulls interview with Palestine advocate from website and iview

    Jump

  • From what I can tell, the average ABC worker is on the right side of this.

    The average worker is Left wing and therefore agrees with Hamas' position. I am Left but often disagree with them on the Gaza issues. In fact their dodgy reporting on Al Ahli hospital early on lost them their credibility.

    I have not seen any news organisation consistently report "fairly". The only example of even-handedness was a pair of entries from a blogger a couple of months into the war (probably still valid - let me know if it has dated)...

  • And since they went through the bother of "accidentally" uploading it, why did they go through the extra bother to remove it?

    They play both sides. Am sure they have their own internal battles of which side to support since they do not seem consistent to me.

  • The Post is literally summarised here in my Lemmy feed with:

    During the interview, Nasser Mashni made a pointed remark that it was time 'for Palestine to be free, from the river to the sea'

    That could well be why the interview was pulled. One could argue whether that slogan is sinister or not. If sinister they could have aired it without the slogan (but some would argue against platforming someone with that view).

    These are the actual issues it seems, certainly not whataboutism.

    EDIT: Turns out this Crikey article is not paywalled (unlike most of Crikey). So I read it and platforming should not be an issue since it says the guy is a regular.

    The closing paragraphs are:

    Crikey received a statement from the ABC on Wednesday morning, a day after this story was published, which said the interview had been uploaded to the broadcaster's website and iview accidentally.

    "The original content was done as a live-to-air interview as part of broader coverage and was not intended to be published as a stand-alone clip. It was mistakenly uploaded and when that was noticed it was taken down," a spokesperson said.

  • So he is calling for the elimination of Israel? Or is he calling for a one-nation state where a Palestinian majority will supposedly conduct a democracy without misogyny, homophobia ignoring the Hamas agenda to expel all Jews?

    Am well aware there are a growing number of Jews with an agenda to expel all Arabs from Gaza. I wouldn't want ABC propagating sloganeering from them either.

  • It was a slur, then it was reclaimed but now it has fallen into disuse because of the acronym so it may have already slipped back into being a slur.

    how politically motivated someone was by weather they identified as "queer" or one of the many individual flavors of the rainbow (lesbian, gay, etc)

    Which was more politically motivated? Queer or the individual favours?

    In fact what was wrong with queer vs an ever-changing acronym? Or could we just use rainbow?

  • The social aspect is indeed important. Performative delivery of catchphrases are for affirming one's identity within a social group.

    You can see it happen even when the cause is a noble one. Any attempt by outsiders at real discussion is met with more catchphrases and insults.

    I experience it on certain topics within Lemmy.

  • And yet the flu vaccine is not mandatory for nursing home staff. I think it used to be pre-Covid but the cookers are winning. In fact there is a global drift away from science, meanwhile flat-earthers are on the rise.

    An annual influenza vaccine, prior to the influenza season, is strongly recommended for all staff of residential care facilities, and mandatory for NSW Health staff in category A positions.

  • Hard to know if the flu you caught was less severe because of the jab.

    Also, I heard one should get a second shot mid winter because the formula changes. Anyone know if that is true?

  • demesisx is the same person who you are accusing in this thread (demening_casually)? Certainly the usernames are similar.

    Or are you just demonstrating that you can produce similar evidence if needed?

    "demeaning casually" certainly describes their unacceptable behavior.

    You failed to notice that demesisx made some comments at exactly the same time (to the second), which implies automation. That in itself is extremely damning.

  • Fair enough, especially since I wasn't responding to OP as I thought I was.
