Another full day of lizard Oz agendas ... from koal that batters to kings that shatter ...

 

The pond realises that any one who glances at the pond will have already, as the ritual requires, turned on the Friday to the venerable Meade, to see what fresh reptile hell she has explored in The Graudian.

Repeating her work involves tautological redundancy, as the mango Mussolini might say, but still the pond is drawn like a flame to the moth, and so ... ABC warns staff of agenda-driven criticism after News Corp pounces on Aboriginal land comment

When the ABC Indigenous affairs editor, Bridget Brennan, said “always was, always will be Aboriginal land” in a live cross on News Breakfast on Australia Day, the Murdoch media pounced, labelling the comment controversial, divisive and partisan.
The Dja Dja Wurrung and Yorta Yorta woman was reporting from an Indigenous ceremony and trying to explain what the day meant for First Nations people.
Inevitably, the ABC managing director, David Anderson, was asked about the statement this week at Senate estimates, giving The Australian a follow-up story: ABC probes ‘always was, always will be’ broadcast.
Brennan’s boss, ABC news director Justin Stevens, fired off a note to staff, saying the corporation’s journalists were working in an environment that is “increasingly agenda-driven and sometimes clearly hostile”.
He said the attacks were often targeted at women, culturally diverse and First Nations staff. (Just ask RN Breakfast and Q+A host Patricia Karvelas, who is subjected to repeated criticism by sections of the media.)“The volume and nature of the Australian’s constant criticism of individual ABC employees is disproportionate and unfair, and looks to be agenda-driven,” Stevens said in a note seen by Weekly Beast. “Criticism of anything we publish can be directed at me and the ABC News leadership rather than targeting individual journalists in this way.”
The Australian’s editor-in-chief, Michelle Gunn, defended the paper’s reporting.
“The Australian’s coverage of the ABC is not agenda driven,” Gunn told Weekly Beast. “The report in question is a straightforward and accurate news report of a Senate estimates hearing.”
‘Editorially justified’
The Australian may be disappointed to learn the public broadcaster’s ombudsman, Fiona Cameron, has investigated the Brennan comment – after receiving 25 complaints – and found the ABC did not breach its standards for due impartiality and diversity of perspectives.
In a report published on Friday, Cameron said Brennan’s statement could have been “more explicitly referenced as the widespread and deeply felt perspective of her community, to avoid any suggestion that it was a statement of her personal opinion”.
“On balance, and in the context of live television, we accept the ABC submission that this was not a statement of Ms Brennan’s personal opinion but rather the view of the community [of] which she is a part and that the comments were editorially justified in the circumstances outlined,” she said.

There's only one line in this twaddle worth noting and that's the bald-faced shameless lie paraded for disbelieving readers: “The Australian’s coverage of the ABC is not agenda driven,” Gunn told Weekly Beast.

Remarkable really, even for reptiles filled to the gills with hypocrisy. 

Every bit of the lizard Oz's coverage of anything is agenda driven. There is not a moment in the rag that is not agenda driven.

Luckily the pond can ignore some parts of the agenda, like this early weekend juxtaposition ...

Caroline Overington acting as an agony aunt, and Dame Slap doubling down on her shameless and shocking behaviour, and shoved down below that was a stock filing from Dow Jones announcing that the sociopathic dictator Vlad the impaler had another notch on his belt?

In any sane rag with any sense of the significance of things, the death of Navalny would have been given the treatment ... but the lizard Oz these days is starved of funds, and is reduced to the idle peddling of agendas ...

Here's how WaPo did it at the top of the digital page ...

And here's how even the both siderist  NY Times put it at the top of the digital page ...

What's the pond left with? Putin lovers ...

And then to compound the coverage crime, while dictators keep up the killing fields, somehow the reptiles found the time to rejoin the Kanavan Karavan (one more K was needed, and the pond did think about mentioning Kontemptible).

We all know where the kontemptible koal loving Kanavan has come from and where the world is heading ...

And sure enough it's back to the future ...

By sheer chance, the pond was reminded of other days and other ways celebrated by the infallible Pope ...

If only the Kanavan Karavan, celebrating the koal that batters, had gone the same way as other new men ... who remembers Cory these days? ... but here he is, still hanging around, courtesy the lizard Oz climate change agenda...

There you go, Michelle Gunn, there's your agenda in a nutshell: "Many of our corporate and political elite know how mad our net-zero goal is."

Many know that the lizard Oz routinely finds ways to give space to barking mad loons from the deep north. That's one of many eternal agendas.

And speaking of agendas, where would the Catholic Boys' (and occasional ladies) Daily be without a dose of Catholic church propaganda, always about the right to be bigots, and reliably served up on weekends by the Angelic one ...

It's the relentlessness of the bigotry agenda that the pond finds exhausting, even when there's good news from abroad ...

Only in a world of reptile agendas could you find the Angelic one parroting blather of the "identity ideology" and "moral paradigm" ...

It's beyond irony, beyond the valley of satire ...

Every day the lizard Oz agenda includes TG bashing ...

It's tiring to find the memes to match ... and the only relief is knowing that the Angelic one always sputters out fairly quickly, like an Oscar Wilde rocket landing in the bigoted mud ...

Didn't she mean the marketplace of bigotry, prejudice, and fear-mongering, and blather about the eternity of hellfire, when the real hell is being felt up by a Catholic priest ...

Never mind, such is the full to overflowing nature of the reptile agenda this weekend that the pond will likely shift a few of the more onerous tasks off to a late arvo slot.

There simply has to be room for the latest panic attack and bout of hysteria from the bromancer...

There's only one nightmare ... the return of the tangerine tyrant, but the bromancer does both siderism in a way that would put even the both siderist NY Times to shame ....

That's not the problem, this is the problem ...

Naturally the agenda-driven reptiles had snaps of the two ogres in hand-waving mood ...

...  when really this is more to the point ...

And so to the both siderism ...

It's a real problem for the bro, an agonising dilemma. He'd like to join in the heiling of Darth, but at the same time, he's confronted by his need to lead Australia in world war three, or at least that war with China by Xmas. Can he trust the mango Mussolini to be by his side?

All those explanations sound reasonable enough, but are they truly reasonable enough? Naturally as a paranoid hysteric, the bro has some saucy doubts and fears ...

Thank the long absent lord that reference to the changing diktats of wokery is just in the text. 

The relentless agenda of Michelle Gunn's version of the lizard Oz has forced the pond to run its headline-triggered woke cartoon far too many times already this year ...

If the pond wanted to raise a woke issue, it would have revolved around the casual indifference to the latest US folly ...

But you can't expect the bromancer to go there ... after all, what he wants is more guns, more war ...

Ah yes, the border ...

Sorry, at some point the pond always has to revert to cartoons as the only way to handle the loonacy...

The bro is worried about defence? Even Ramirez is worried ...

Meanwhile, as the bro rages at the court system, if all else fails, then at least we can rely on SCOTUS ...

It's always in the detail ...

The cartoon strategy has once again sort of worked because the pond has finally reached the last bro gobbet ... and it's time for his regular rant about the need to arm up for his war with China by Xmas ...

The pond can't begin to count how many times the pond has read this sort of screed from the bromancer, but incessant repetition, laced with hysteria and fear-mongering, is a key part of the reptile agenda ... all with the sub-text that the return of the king wouldn't be so bad ...

Think that joke about being a king is an exaggeration? Perhaps you missed the Jordan Klepper clip featuring MAGA king worshippers ...
