The Real Story Behind Morocco's Migrant 'Invasion'. Plus, the ABC vs. Gina Rinehart and News Corp
LamestreamShow Notes
Os and Scott go beyond the headlines to break down exactly why 50,000 Moroccans crossed into a Spanish territory, sparking a huge new debate about immigration.
They discuss the diplomatic and political power plays driving the situation, the role played by misinformation online, how the situation was amplified by the US and Israel, and the attempts by the far-right around the world, and in Australia, to capitalise on it.
Later in the show, they discuss how Gina Rinehart and News Corp have launched a new attack on the ABC and whether the broadcaster's leadership are willing to defend comedy and satire.
