Os and Scott start the episode by discussing SBS' coverage of the World Cup and whether it lives up to previous broadcasts. They debate its merits, what it's lacking, the involvement of sports getting companies and whether more government funding would fix the problem.
Then, they discuss the Royal Commission's latest hearings examining the media and in particular social media. They talk about what the Royal Commission isn't covering, and why it's treatment of social media giants seems so light touch.
Plus in Keeping Tabs: The politicians who are turning to podcasting, the secret money behind Karl Stefanovic, and The Guardian's curiously conservative use of language.
