    What's Missing from the Media's War Reporting. Plus, the Bondi Royal Commission Implodes

    Os and Scott look at some of the key narratives that are missing or being downplayed in the media's coverage of the war on Iran, including Israel's invasion of Lebanon and the US' targeting of a school in Iran, which led to one of the worst atrocities in a modern war Australia is involved in. Then they look at the surprise resignation of former ASIO boss Dennis Richardson from the Bondi Royal Commission, what led to it and what it means for the future of the inquiry. Plus, Lamestream has an official Discord! On Monday, from 11:00am, Os and Scott will be live-blogging the Oscars ceremony for Lamestream subscribers on Discord.

    Albanese Sends Australia to War. Plus, Reviewing the ABC's 'Q+A' Successor and... Karl and Jackie O?

    As the war on Iran spirals into a global catastrophe, Os and Scott look at Anthony Albanese's decision to commit Australia's military to the conflict. They discuss how Albanese has become Trump and Israel's most reliable ally, what our military commitment really means and why Australia's political journalists still seem so uninterested in asking serious questions. They also examine the coverage of Iran's women soccer team and the players who sought asylum in Australia, as well as the new laws being rushed through parliament to prevent any further Iranians from seeking refuge in Australia. Then, they review the ABC's new 'National Forum', the successor to Q+A. They talk about how the show failed to engage the audience by playing it safe with predictable guests, and didn't present a diversity of views. In Keeping Tabs, Scott looks at the rumours that Karl Stefanovic could be set to replace Kyle Sandilands on commercial radio, and Os breaks down why Australian critics are so confused about the Oscar-nominated film 'The Voice of Hind Rajab'.

    How Australia is Aiding Trump’s Illegal War. Plus, 'Red Alert': The War That Never Happened.

    Os and Scott begin the show with a very special 'clarification' and discuss how the Sydney Morning Herald hit the jackpot with a group of private school students stuck in Dubai. Then, they talk about the latest shocking news from the Iran war, before a deep dive into the story of three Australians who were aboard a submarine that sunk and Iranian warship. After that, they look back on one of the wildest pieces of journalism every published, the three-part front page series that told us that by now Australia would likely be at war with China. It's a very special conversation about 'Red Alert'. Support Lamestream by visiting our website to sign up and become a subscriber. Follow us on social media: Instagram TikTok YouTube Hosted on Acast.

    Why is Australia's Media More Pro-Iran War than the US'? Plus, Kyle vs. Jackie O and the End of HBO

    Os and Scott open with a discussion about the break-up of the biggest and most expensive media partnership in Australia: Kyle and Jackie O. They look what the end of the $200 million deal could mean, and why staff at the radio network that paid them are celebrating. Next, they break down the latest in the war on Iran and how it has become apparent that Trump was manipulated into bombing Iran by Israel's PM Benjamin Netanyahu and what could mean for the end game. They also discuss how the Albanese government has doubled-down on its support for the war, even as more and more European nations declare it illegal. Finally, they investigate why the Australian media seems more shamelessly pro war than compared to the US media. In Keeping Tabs, they unpack the the takeover of Warner Bros. by the right-wing, pro-Trump, pro-Israel Ellison family. They look at what it means both for the news media, with CNN likely to face huge cuts, and the entertainment media, with HBO and the Warner Bros. film studio falling under the Ellison's control.

    Trump's War on Iran: Assassinations, Retaliation, and How Australia's Support Could Backfire

They discuss the background to this weekend's bombing campaign, why Trump has decided to pursue regime change, the consequences of Ayatollah Ali Khamenei's assassination, and how Iran has retaliated.

    Can Australia Admit to Our Trump Moment? Plus, the Wild Epstein Conspiracies and the ABC's Missing Show

    Os and Scott watched Karl Stefanovic's hour-long interview with Anthony Albanese so you didn't have to. They break down why the interview was embarrassing for everyone involved, how Stefanovic has cultivated a hard-right audience, and why that's now blowing up in his face. Next, they look at the disruptive impact Pauline Hanson and One Nation are already having on our political system, including influencing the federal government on immigration policy and their approach to Australian women and children trapped in Syria. They examine whether the media coverage of One Nation has improved, and discuss what journalists, and political parties, could do differently. Later in the show, Scott breaks down some the harmful Epstein conspiracy theories finding traction on social media and why they are resonating when the actual truth is scandalous enough. In Keeping Tabs, Os and Scott look at why the ABC suddenly pulled an episode of Australian Story, which it had been hyping up for days, and share some of their favourite stories from Australian media outlets over the past week.

    How Andrew's Arrest Turbocharged the Epstein Story. Plus, Trump's Dangerous New Global Order

    Scott and Os start the show by talking about why Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor's arrest is so significant and what it tells us about the Epstein story. They break down exactly what he is being investigated for, how the story has been covered, and how the Epstein files continue to reveal more and more about corrupt, shadowy networks that influence global politics and finance. Later in the show, they step through Trump's dangerous new foreign policy escalations including the launch of his Gaza "board for peace" and the ongoing threats around Iran, as well as discussing how the interview between Tucker Carlson and Mike Huckabee exposes how the political right in the US are split on the question of support for Israel. Finally, they end with a discussion on Sky News Australia's rebrand, and whether it will help or hurt the Murdoch-owned TV network.

    What's Behind the Media's Pauline Hanson Obsession? Plus, the Pod Save America Frenzy

    Os and Scott unpack how Pauline Hanson has been able to dominate the news and political conversation for the past week, all by going on Sky News and denigrating Muslims. They discuss why the media gives Hanson more oxygen and attention than any other political figure and why they refuse to interrogate her views when given the chance, and Scott looks at how reporting on Hanson during the 1990s and 2000s was much stronger than it is now. Later in the show, they examine Labor's attempts to try and take back control of the political news cycle. In Keeping Tabs, Os asks whether anyone knows who is editing The Sydney Morning Herald, Scott dives into Australia's obsession with Pod Save America, and a look at censorship at CBS, from Stephen Colbert to 60 Minutes.
