Kimmel gets Lattoufed, SBS’s tunnelvision on Eurovision + getting real about independent media

We used to be journalists, but now we mostly just bitch about them. (Kidding. Kind of.) We also break down broken new. This weekly podcast brings you honest and original media analysis from two insiders who’ve broken plenty of news and been broken by it, too.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Hosted by long-suffering journalists and even longer-suffering friends, Jan Fran and Antoinette Lattouf, We Used to Be Journos is your guide to the way the media works.&nbsp; Join us every Wednesday as we unpack the headlines you see, and the power you don’t. We’ll take you through the week’s sketchy editorial decisions, suspect sources and thinly veiled bigotry. We’ll show you how the media sausage is made —so you know what you’re being fed.&nbsp;&nbsp; Armed with a low tolerance for spin, zero patience for BS, and just enough humour (and delusion) to keep working in the media, We Used to Be Journos serves up hot, sharp, unapologetic media tea. Support Ette Media by becoming a subscriber <a href="https://www.ettemedia.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">here</a>. If you want to see our mugs as we yap you can watch the episode in full <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qDn2m-RFCy4" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">here. </a> Thanks to <a href="https://www.instagram.com/jaidanielpyne/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@jaidanielpyne</a> for composing the music for our podcast.<hr> Hosted on Acast.
