Did you want them to dive across the resolute desk and beat him up? What exactly were you wanting the unarmed reporters to do here?
Actually press him on his statements.
Someone should. Stupid turd wouldn't put up a fight anyway.
Secret service might.
Follow in Al-Zaidi's footsteps.
Report it.
That's... literally what this post is
To a very limited audience. And one that would be surprised if it was different in the first place.
The reporters didn’t post it here to Lemmy (assuming that’s the small audience). It’s on their website and they likely syndicated it across all kinds of platforms (such as Apple News, Google News, etc).
The ABC is a national broadcaster. Think BBC but with an A.
This comment is not an innuendo.
edit: shit - wrong ABC
Did they put this in the news, as the No1 item? Because that's where it would belong. The non-Murdoch press needs to fight back, but I can't see them doing it.
