Crikey

Hello, I'm Stephen May, contributor at Intelligent Investor, founder of Crikey and shareholder activist.

And I'm James Thompson, senior Chanticleer columnist at the Australian Financial Review.

And James, we are The Money Cafe.

I'll be back next week with intelligent investor, founder and editor, John Addis.

Alan is still convalescing after his back surgery, but we'll be back hopefully in early December.

So, look, send us a question and we'll answer it together, John and I, by emailing themoneycafe.com. at intelligentinvestor.com.au. Until then, I'm Stephen Mayne, contributor at Intelligent Investor, founder of Crikey and shareholder activist.

And I'm James Thompson, senior Chanticleer columnist at the Australian Financial Review.

Talk

But, you know, sometimes you feel like, do we have to keep doing this? Can somebody else? But now my feeling on it is that the more lefty podcasts in the ecosystem, the better.

um we need you know need some balance because we're certainly not getting it from any of our the rest of the media um and we don't you know certainly even the what do we got the published professional media that is progressive is reliably progressive even the guardian isn't like your guardian's reasonably good most of the time and then they'll pop off with some you know anti-trans nonsense or whatever you got the people from the australians to your your um Greg Jericho's and your Amy Ramikis's and you've got Rachel Withers from Crikey.

So you've got some pretty good people working out there, but the outlets themselves aren't necessarily always.

So I just, I feel that there needs to be more lefties out there.

Sans Allen again.

It's embarrassing to the craft of journalism.

Let's go over to Jeff Sparrow, who wrote for Crikey.

And I just want to also give a shout out that Jeff is a contributor and a freelancer.

And so he's doing this in a world where who knows where his next article or employment, like he's taken this kind of risk without the protection of a full-time job or an attachment to an independent media outlet.

It's just their voices, pure and simple, from the people, the Palestinians in Gaza.

And I found this most wonderful editor for an Australian media outlet called Crikey, and you can look it up.

There's a whole series of articles on there.

an editor who saw that there was a huge gap in particularly mainstream media in humanising Palestinians.

She did so by saying, I'll spare you the details, which meant also she was going to spare us all of the evidence, which is just sort of classic Zionism.

And then in the months leading up to this, The Shot and myself personally and Joel have been attacked by a bunch of outlets, The Australian, Crikey, Sydney Morning Herald, a few more I forget because they're unimportant and no one reads them.

Yourself, you are fairly constantly the victim of Zionist slander and...

I don't know, Grace.
