The Australian media completely missed a major fib told by the Albanese government, and Charlie Pickering performs a not-very-apologetic backflip.

The ABC's news director was spectacularly replaced this week. It doesn't bode well for the future direction of the broadcaster.

Australians are returning home with stories of abuse and mistreatment while the media is deferring to Israel by interrogating them as if they aren't reliable.

The media is taking it at Israel's word that Ben-Gvir is an outlier, not the norm. Lamestream can reveal that on at least one occasion, points to the contrary were edited out of reports.

On the surface, reforming tax breaks for landlord investors should seem like a simple political win. So why is Labor's budget going down poorly?

The author's award-winning novel Discipline was published by UQP. Now, Abdel-Fattah has quit the publisher in response to its cancellation of an Indigenous children's book.

This week, Triple J deleted a controversial interview with Melbourne band Radio Free Alice discussing their cover of Usher's 'DJ Got Us Fallin' in Love'. It told us a lot about the lessons Australia's music industry refuse to learn.

Lamestream can reveal that as well as attending a 2013 dinner in honour of the Mongolian President, both Rudd and Epstein joined a six-member board to advise him.

Os and Scott watched Karl Stefanovic's hour-long interview with Anthony Albanese so you didn't have to and they look at the disruptive impact Pauline Hanson and One Nation are already having on our political system.
