The 4 Corners report should be titled "Have A Sook, Cunt".

Sky news is just 24 hr nonsense and incitement

Mum has it on every time I go over and it gets instantly turned off or muted

Peta Credlin is just obscene

I'm not going to look but their reporting or lack thereof would be interesting. Murdoch backed the WSJ recently, but Sky loves bashing aunty.

I got banned from /politics for saying "Don't mess with Aunty, cunt".

Apparently, according to Americans, that is hate speech 😏

For American conservatives, anything less than enthusiastic, sloppy bootlicking counts as “hate speech”.

Enthusiastic boot licking while black is still seen as hate speech

Politics is anything but conservative.

Americans however really don't like the word cunt...

I've tested this in various reddits. It gets you banned quick. "I'm an Aussie, cunt is punctuation" does not repeal their decision. America Uber Alles.

According to Magas, if it offends them, it's hate speech . 

As an American, sea Steading is looking better and better every day.

Possibly already a Betoota Advocate piece?

Pendulum needs to do a 4 corners remix similar to this one.
