It was fascinating to see Sky Australia is now called News24. Imagine Rita Panahi reporting to Adriaan Basson. My column at News24 was canceled at the last minute. Helena Wasserman broke her word.
It turns out that Nasionale Pers aka News24 has been charging me on 2 different emails for months. Call centre cancelled one but refused to reimburse me for the back payments. Only R109 a month but it adds up. She was rude in fact. Seems to resent being asked to speak English.

There may not be many people left in 10 years who can write, or want to read, things longer than a page or two. But there will be at least a few of us, and we'll be a powerful club.

I accepted a free ticket. I am confident enough that I can make up my own mind. It's not as if I was offered free flowing champagne and hookers in a luxury hotel.
If you got a free ticket to travel to Israel, would you accept it? 🇮🇱🇮🇱 A) Yes 🟢 B) No 🔴

Not for debate? I think it's time you had a debate with Natasha Hausdorff.
These words from Francesca Albanese: ‘I am not here to discuss what two indicted war criminals have to say’ ‘This is genocide’ ‘It’s not for debate’ ‘We failed to prevent a genocide’ The Hague for Netanyahu 🇮🇱 now Free Palestine 🇵🇸 today.

It is longer form than Piers Morgan or Zeteo and gets people from all sides. "The Rest is Politics" is the most thoughtful podcast I see but very UK focused

The trend started with advertorial. Advertising and editorial should have always be clearly separated.

1/ The little Gazan girl killed fetching water: A thread about a new lie aimed against Israel yet which the evidence shows otherwise. Now the death of this girl is a tragedy. But it wasn’t the IDF who killed her. @GAZAWOOD1 @TheMossadIL @MOSSADil @Osint613

Agreed but a lot of my former colleagues moved there for Koos Bekker's 39 pieces of silver. Natasha Marrian came back after a few days.

Long time no see Niall. My book finally came out. "The Mavericks" got another on the go now. I saw you with a beard on Trigger Nometry, which was strange
"While the world fixates on Donald Trump’s populist cocktail of reciprocal tariffs and big, beautiful deficits, @JMilei is delivering a man-made miracle that should gladden the heart of every classical economist and quicken the pulse of all political libertarians." 1/5

I hear after pressure from BDS thugs Absa no longer sponsors the Jewish Achiever Awards. What a bunch of lily-livered cowards.
