Midterms Michigan drama, new Trump rape allegations, media megaphone for antisemitism report + Lebanon’s crazy rugby league win

Jan Fran and Antoinette can’t look away from the US midterm elections, albeit for very different reasons. Antoinette examines the the almost non-existent coverage of new rape allegations against Trump that include connections to Epstein. While Jan gives five stars to whoever is giving Democratic nominee Abdul El Sayed media training ahead of his battle for the hotly contested Michigan Senate seat, where serious drama is unfolding. Back home, Greens leader David Shoebridge addresses the National Press Club and we’ve got questions about the questions he received. Also, we shout out two ABC sports reporters who were as chuffed as we were about Lebanon’s nail biting, historic win in the Rugby League World Cup and we credit the independent media outlets with the one take on Jillian Segal’s latest antisemitism report that the mainstream media missed. ‘Jillian Segal's Flimsy New Report Gets Red Carpet Media Rollout’ Osman Faruqi via Lamestream ‘It’s time to sack Jillian Segal’ Jeff Lowenstein via DeepCut ‘Jillian Segal’s report is a Trumpian plan to curtail free speech’ Jeff Sparrow via Crikey ‘Australia’s complicit shills have lost the narrative and sound fucking ridiculous’ Dave Milner via The Shot ‘The Segal State: the office Australia never voted for’ Andrew Brown via Michael West Media This episode is proudly brought to you by Salaam Foundation.
