Zionist running the ABC. Biased towards genocide.
Listening to the Iran episode on gas line - it’s not called natural gas anymore dude - that’s big gas propaganda
It’s called fossil gas to most of us - nothing inherently natural about it
Good explanations and very informative but byast to Israeli. And sort of makes Iran look bad
Trust worthy and informative.
Israel must be paying a lot of money to matty boy and the abc - at least I hope my taxes aren’t going towards this blatant rubbish. Nothing but fluff pieces that promote Israel and the blatant lies of zionist propaganda. Matt how dare you call yourself a journalist while trying to discredit actual journalists like Seymour hurst. You’re a joke.
