Pilger’s passing exposes our truly woeful MSM

Quentin Dempster’s moving tribute (above and below) to John Pilger also moved our Xcrement-of-the-Week judges to both tears and the need to open a third bottle of Bundy rum in their decision-making process.

Has there ever been a more worthy X post selected by our judges, given the totally deplorable state of this nation’s LNP publicity factory that also goes under the moniker of our current mainstream media?

We at The Bug don’t believe John Pilger will rest in peace for one moment; he will spin uncontrollably over the very thought that the great bulk of our mainstream mediocre believe that its prime and central task is to ensure the Albanese government is a one-termer.

Okay, let’s get straight back to the genocide in Gaza where, finally, Bibi Netanyahu and his Holocaust helpers have finally admitted what their goal is there: a strip devoid of Palestinians.

Coalition Tea Lady, our dear friend who has been unrelenting on this humanitarian disaster and unfolding series of war crimes since day one, has once again expressed outrage over our government’s duplicity.

Michael J Wyllie saw it from this angle…

jansant and Sophie McNeil took aim at the ABC’s coverage of the tragedy. The Bug agrees that Aunty has been rather zionist in its coverage. Does its management know more about how average Australians feel about what’s happening over there than our gut feelings on the matter? A poll is needed, maybe? One that’s well worded.

Sticking with our national broadcaster on a separate issue, Vince O’Grady and Joe2: Woke & proud of it. had this to spray.

And now on to wind. And if there’s anyone who knows more about wind, it’s the Member for New England, Barnaby Joyce. Stripped of just about all relevance, he’s ventured to the NSW central coast, to whip up opposition to offshore windfarms that we understand won’t be visible from shore but that’s not important right now.

Here’s Terry Sweetman and Zali Staggall, in conversation with Rupert’s Conscience Voted Yes, with a wonderful image.

It’s that time of year again, folks, and the LNP opposition searching for a cause are banging on again about how unpatriotic it would all be – led by that unAustralian Anthony Albanese, right Dan Tehan? – if the PM didn’t act right now to stop local councils moving their citizenship ceremonies away from January 26.

Take it away, Peter Murphy. And bloody well said!

A scandalous situation – well, we think it is at any time in the 21stC let alone in 2024! – in Catholic-run public hospitals caught the eye of Dr Mariam Tohhi and Jane Caro.

A few political jibes now, from Brett Hapi and Derek Robinson. A timely reminder from Brett that John Howard was, is, and will always remain a truly dreadful little cunt who, just maybe, has managed to refashion this nation in his own racist, miserable, self-centred, divisive image.

We’ll allow Terry Sweetman a second dip with this rather sad observation, one we think is totally spot on and another reason John Pilger will spin in his grave for ever more.
