And the rest of the press does nothing.

Well, it looked like they were recording and reporting it.

[–] stoy@lemmy.zip 42 points 5 days ago (1 children)

Sure, but where is the general outcry and black headlines?

[–] rc__buggy@sh.itjust.works 18 points 5 days ago

Language like "Trump Threatens"? It's right there.

Did you want them to dive across the resolute desk and beat him up? What exactly were you wanting the unarmed reporters to do here?

[–] onslaught545@lemmy.zip 16 points 5 days ago

Actually press him on his statements.

[–] SereneSadie@lemmy.myserv.one 7 points 5 days ago (1 children)

Someone should. Stupid turd wouldn't put up a fight anyway.

[–] salacious_coaster@infosec.pub 3 points 5 days ago

Secret service might.

[–] knightly@pawb.social 6 points 5 days ago

Follow in Al-Zaidi's footsteps.

[–] NigelFrobisher@aussie.zone 3 points 5 days ago (1 children)

Report it.

[–] Nastybutler@lemmy.world 3 points 5 days ago (1 children)

That's... literally what this post is

[–] Treczoks@lemmy.world 2 points 5 days ago (2 children)

To a very limited audience. And one that would be surprised if it was different in the first place.

The ABC is a national broadcaster. Think BBC but with an A.

This comment is not an innuendo.

edit: shit - wrong ABC

Did they put this in the news, as the No1 item? Because that's where it would belong. The non-Murdoch press needs to fight back, but I can't see them doing it.

The reporters didn’t post it here to Lemmy (assuming that’s the small audience). It’s on their website and they likely syndicated it across all kinds of platforms (such as Apple News, Google News, etc).
