@MikeCarlton01 @JaneCaro Independent reading in spite of the english instruction (not dissing my high school, but rather the curriculum at the time in nsw) was what got me through and what kept the joy of reading to this day.

@EleonoraFall I remember those times.
My family had a rotating tower of cds.

I feel this move from 9 is disingenuous.

Channel Nine flew to the US to interview some random guy leading a dead KKK chapter of 5 people - solely to try get him praising Pauline Hanson on video

Transparently desperate mainstream media attempt to smear 30% of the Australian voting public

[Mimi @mimisnotebook_]

Channel Nine used to be regarded as the more trustworthy out of 7, 9, and 10. And now we are seeing a drop in standards all around. All I can say is that Australians need to turn to sources that practice true journalism. There aren't many around.

[Avi Yemini @OzraeliAvi]

I’m old enough to remember Channel Nine SACKING Karl Stefanovic after he dared to interview Tommy Robinson.

Now they’ve sent a reporter to America to do a puff piece on the KKK in an attempted stitch-up of Pauline Hanson.

You don’t hate the media enough.

[Mimi @mimisnotebook_]

There are journalists who report news, like actual material things that happen, and then there are spin doctors who fish for "news." The public would do well to discern between the two.

[katy 🌸 @KatyKray73]

Channel Nine has officially lost the plot.

They sent an Australian journalist to the United States to interview the head of the Ku Klux Klan, then tried to link him with One Nation. This is not journalism.

It’s a coordinated smear and collusion with the Labor government to bring down One Nation at a time when Labor’s popularity is at an all-time low.

I’ve never seen such desperation from the media to bring down a party in my entire lifetime.

BREAKING: EPA to begin screening U.S. drinking water for traces of abortion pills.

Yes.
Access to the WH is a privilege not a constitutional right.

[Chanel Rion OAN @ChanelRion]

The miscreants at the White House are upset they no longer can treat the briefing room and their access to POTUS as their personal bookselling platforms.

It is and always has been a RACKET that a single PRIVATE non profit organization has been "in charge" of covering the president and his office.

That a single PRIVATE nonprofit organization who can barely keep the lights on "charges" fees to "rent out" the green tents on the North Lawn.

This organization exists on the White House grounds at the GRACE of the White House Press office.

I'm proud to have been the harbinger of change on this front. Unfortunately, with the way this White House has structured things, all the Lamestream has to do is "wait it out" and everything goes back the moment Trump leaves.

In the meantime, we are forced to listen to the poor, victimized Big 5 weep over the fact they can no longer lie about this administration with the proximity with which they are accustomed.

I think Trump actually enjoys this lack of coverage and this will also do 2 things.
1- shifts attention to coverage of other people in the trump administration including potentially the next presidential candidate
2- outlets that do cover trump for pool will get more attention

[Libs of TikTok @libsoftiktok]

BREAKING: Outlets including FOX News, ABC, CBS, CNN, NBC, and others have collectively agreed to HALT coverage of President Trump after he banned CNN, MS Now, and Politico from the White House.

@adamscrabble The more probable thing is that some were and some weren't. Some were actual witches. And some were innocent but cruelly murdered due to the divisive and chaotic environment at the time.

[Mimi @mimisnotebook_]

This is kinda the cultural divide I see in Americans.

This is discrimination against homeschooled people

[Matt Van Swol @mattvanswol]

🚨#BREAKING: Outrage is erupting after a 22-year-old who runs into BURNING BUILDINGS as a volunteer firefighter was told he isn't qualified to be a paid firefighter...

...because he was HOMESCHOOLED.

Then the city changed the job posting to cover it up.

His name is Andrew Coates. He's 22 years old, in Nebraska.

Right now, today, he runs into burning buildings as a volunteer firefighter for Cedar Bluffs Fire. He is a state-licensed EMT.

He is doing the job. For free.

All he wanted was to get PAID to do it. In his words: "Make a career out of it would be the goal. To get paid to do what you love."

So he applied to the Fremont Fire Department.

And in April, the city rejected him. Why?

Because his high school diploma says he was homeschooled.

That's it. That's the whole disqualification.

Not his EMT license.
Not his fitness.
Not his record.
Not his experience pulling people out of fires ALREADY!!

...how he was educated.

The job posting he applied to said "graduation from high school."

That's all it said.
He graduated high school.
He has a diploma.

And AFTER they rejected him, the city went back and added the word "accredited" to the job description.

His own fire chief, the man who has watched Andrew work, showed up to defend him:

"I feel the city of Fremont is really missing out here, and in my mind, because of his homeschooling, you guys are discriminating against him."

Over THIRTY homeschool families showed up to stand behind this kid.

And the Civil Service Commission? They said it isn't their job to touch city policy.

Homeschoolers are literally a generation of kids who read ABOVE grade level, who work with their HANDS, who volunteer in their communities, who show up for their neighbors.

And this young man is the proof.

At 22, he's a certified EMT and a volunteer firefighter, while plenty of his peers are on a couch.

When your house is on fire at 3 a.m., I promise you will not ask the man dragging your children out where he went to high school.

You will not ask if his diploma was accredited.

You will thank GOD he came.

Andrew isn't even fighting for himself anymore. His words:

"I think now it's turned into we want to make sure that every homeschooler has an equal opportunity."

That's a better man than the policy that rejected him.

Fremont, you have a licensed EMT and an active firefighter begging to serve your city. And you turned him down over paperwork, then rewrote the paperwork to cover it.

Fix this.

Hire him!!!!!!!

She is too awake to sleep. But she will sleep eventually.

[Mimi @mimisnotebook_]

It's midnight but my toddler is still awake.
She is playing with a piece of playdoh, cutting it up into pieces in different ways. Then using a fork to pick it up like a piece of food. Then offering it to me or her daddy. And we pretend to eat it and enjoy it. She needs to sleep.
