In case you’ve missed it, New Matilda has been giving the ABC a hard time over the amount of advertising revenue it brings in every year. Yes, that’s right – contrary to popular belief, the ABC does accept advertising.

Well… that escalated quickly. Yesterday, New Matilda reported a story about paid advertising appearing on the ABC’s Apple News page. Today, we appear to have been struck off Aunty’s Christmas card list.
As it turns out, there’s quite a lot of it (advertising), but the ABC has been pretty coy about precisely how much it’s worth to them.

American politics is nothing if not fascinating. A train wreck, sure, but a fascinating train wreck.
And that train wreck shows no signs of getting any less spectacular, with American politicians and hopefuls jockeying for the 2020 presidential elections, just over a year away.
The Democrats, who simultaneously shot themselves in the foot, face and other bits by pre-selecting Hillary Clinton to take on Donald Trump (in the face of substantial electoral support for Bernie Sanders) look likely to do the same thing again for the 2020 election, with early popular party support falling in behind former vice president, Joe Biden.
Of course, support from the American people doesn’t necessarily follow party lines, and this lengthy interview with Bernie Sanders by American podcaster Joe Rogan shows why.
Of all the media Sanders has done in the past few years, this probably sums him up better than any other… and most notably, highlights the difference between Sanders and Trump. Enjoy.
