Os and Scott open this episode by discussing the NRL Grand Final and the sports media's obsession with creating controversy over nothing, before Os shares a scoop about Keith Urban (yes, seriously).

Later in the episode, they unpack the story published by Lamestream this week about the National Press Club cancelled a talk by Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Chris Hedges because he was too pro-Palestine. They also look closer at who runs the National Press Club, what it does and why it's funded by the world's biggest weapons companies.

Also in today's episode: A discussion about the media's coverage of Israel's genocide in Gaza over the past two years and whether anything has changed, and in Keeping Tabs, Os discusses the $150m purchase of the right-wing, pro-Israel outlet run by Bari Weiss and the decision to make her CBS News' editor-in-chief, what's really behind it and what it will mean for the future of news, while Scott looks at Israel's treatment of Greta Thunberg after she was detained for participating in the Gaza flotilla.
