A conservative politician shirking off the Beeb as if they haven’t done so for the past how many years? What a shock!

Thinks the problem is most of the western media doesn’t have reporters in Gaza. Which is pretty legit considering. But when you see the AJ reports from Gaza the human toll is terrible.

Every time I’ve flicked over to AJ the past few days and they’ve had live footage from Gaza there’s always been smoke in the background. Whatever they’re paying those reporters is not enough.

The human toll is just utterly awful on all counts. I feel for the Israeli civilians who were attacked, killed and taken hostage in the initial rampage, and for the Palestinian civilians facing bombardment and destruction on all fronts as a consequence of the terrorist actions of Hamas.

Not sure people would turn to seven for international events. They’re not that well credentialed compared to 9 and the ABC who have pedigree. Seven news is typically unwatchable. It only rates because the great unwashed watch it.

I’d say that’s more a claim than a fact. Seven’s level of coverage is on par with Nine’s on international news but none have a bar on ABC.

Yea it’s my observation. Merely an opinion. Seven cater for suburbanites, the uneducated, conservatives. All things I’m not a fan of.

Back to back live reports from the cease fire at the crossing near Ashkelon.

Is it just my user error or has Paramount+ removed the individual city/state news streams in favour of one live news stream from the Lewiston station?

I think the source is CBS 13 in Portland, Maine. WGME TV.
