      This is going to descend into “trial by podcast”, like the Mushroom Lady, isn’t it?

      I hate how everything has to devolve into a populist political circlejerk. Media monopolization just ruins everything.

      I felt like delving into reading some Facebook comments in stories about this the last few days, one said “Innocent in my eyes. Doesn’t matter what evidence.”

      So many people are just so far off the deep-end politically, it’s honestly more sad than it is frustrating.

      > There is something almost elegant about it. A machine so perfectly calibrated to convert human suffering into content, moral complexity into team selection and legal proceedings into ratings, operating at full capacity without a single moment of self-reflection.

      That moment when a Betoota article drops a paragraph with insight exceeding ‘genuine’ media.

      Betoota’s not wrong about media coverage (what with One Nation already coming out to support BRS and Kerry Stokes being his biggest benefactor) but I’m just so sick of this partisan valence being applied to questions of basic human rights. What does it say about someone when their political stance is that murdering unarmed civilians is acceptable? We’re so far off the deep end of humanity.
