Yep. Definitely sticks out from doing the rounds of all the media outlets.

Also strikes me as a bit of martydom going on. Breast milk, if you can do it (not all women can) is definitely better than formula and breast feeding is a way of bonding with the baby. But, FFS, it's 7 months old. If it aint bonded by now it's never going to be. So buy a fkn breast pump, express some milk so someone else (like the Dad) can feed it, stop being a martyr and having to keep the baby with you all the time and get some life back.

why anyone would take a baby or a child to a loud raucous show is beyond me, its child abuse.

it actually shits me, always did, when parents let their kids scream or terrorise by running amok at restaurants ( as apposed to fast food stores, but still control em!) My eldest tried it once in Target when she was about 4-5, other kids were running around the old bars they had at the front of the store, and I said loudly if you want to call the cops go for it but I'm smacking her butt! littel old lady said to me its good to see someone still disciplines their kids! Its ok, she didnt need councilling!!

same reason I don't go to dog parks, unleashed does not mean out of control!

^Sounds like a histrionic attention-seeking nutter, or as Stui says, a martyr, which is a classic far-left archetype. Comedy of all adult events people go to chill, let go a bit, and escape the world. Ricky Gervais would've had a field day with her!

As you say, you'd not do that to a baby, while I'd also never do that to people spending their hard-earned on no doubt a well-earned night out.

We've asked them to take it down, they've gone stuff you. It's inciting terrorism so that's what you arrest them on. Social Media giants have too much say and their moderation is pathetic as the amount of misinformation out there is out of control.

What terrorism has been incited?

Also, who are "we" to ask for an actual new event to be removed? That's a pretty dangerous precedent for the government to decide what news people can and can't see.

Personally I'd rather see more effort from the Social Media megaliths into stamping out fake shit designed to warp and twist peoples views than publishing factual stuff that some find distasteful.

That's so true. How hard can it be to stop ads that say "Celebrity X didn't know the mic was still on...Big Banks are trying to stop this"

^Thirded. Deceit has become so normalised, yet trust is the glue of the entire edifice; it's miles more important than some grim fact.

^ very good article David

[stui magpie]

Yeah, agreed. It really is overreach to try to demand that Musk take down the footage internationally. If it inspires terrorism elsewhere, that's their problem (and Musks) but they got there way to have it removed here. Which is really pointless if you think about it as most mainstream media showed the footage and if you wanted to find it, you likely still could and even if not there's plenty of worse stuff out there.

Bit of tilting at windmills happening.

Good article, David. Thanks for posting.

I've been disturbed by the cheerleaders of censorship.

I wanted to pop this here quickly now, but it deserves its own thread. Bluey has been the best advertisement over here and elsewhere that Australia has had since Crocodile Dundee. I'm telling you, the affection with which it's held, and delight at its simplicity and good-natured charm, has cut through at such a cynical moment the world over.

Normally, embassies talk meaningless nonsense, but this is absolutely right (the series has obviously achieved much greater acclaim this, but it caught my eye yesterday):

Especially by the MSM who themselves decides to run with a story accusing the wrong person!!!
