  "textContent": "Os and Scott unpack how Pauline Hanson has been able to dominate the news and political conversation for the past week, all by going on Sky News and denigrating Muslims.\n\nYou can listen below for free. Or, if you're a subscriber, you'll find an ad-free version of the show below the description.\n\nThey discuss why the media gives Hanson more oxygen and attention than any other political figure and why they refuse to interrogate her views when given the chance, and Scott looks at how reporting on Hanson during the 1990s and 2000s was much stronger than it is now.\n\nLater in the show, they examine Labour's attempts to try to take back control of the political news cycle.\n\nIn Keeping Tabs, Os asks whether anyone knows who is editing _The Sydney Morning Herald_ , Scott dives into Australia's obsession with Pod Save America, and a look at censorship at CBS, from Stephen Colbert to 60 Minutes.\n\nNew episodes of Lamestream drop on Mondays and Thursdays.\n\n## Ad-free subscriber podcast\n\n### This post is for subscribers only\n\nBecome a member to get access to all content\n\nSubscribe now",
