You missed a screen grab of a punter talking about fuel prices and supered as the Reverend somebody. Hehe.
Good to see something posted after 12pm. I doubt anything will be shown on NC
Why do you call it NC? Nobody calls it that.

Constantly trying to decipher acronyms and even worse when it’s not something that exists.
It’s not called News Channel so it’s not NC. It’s ABC News. Or at a stretch ABCN. That is all.
You mean 12am, I assume. But yes, the ABC has a round-the-clock news operation online and radio - just TV channel not updating overnight.
The story made it to the top of the Breakfast rundown and will stay there throughout the day.

Last week, this masthead reported on the increasing difficulty for news outlets covering the Iran war caused by the rapid rise in the use of artificial intelligence for propaganda by states, their proxies and rank opportunists.
This week, the ABC’s independent ombudsman found it had run squarely into those challenges. The national broadcaster quoted what appeared to be Lebanon’s president, Joseph Aoun, during what it said was an appearance in military uniform, declaring to a crowd he was “fed up”.
“I want everyone to understand that the decision to ban any military activity of Hezbollah or affiliated elements [has been made] and anyone who violates this decision is breaking the law,” Aoun said, according to the ABC.
“No-one is above the law, and no-one is greater than their country.”
Unfortunately, as the ombudsman’s report notes, the remarks attributed to the Lebanese president were actually from an AI-generated video “rather than a genuine speech”.
