They 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.
Later in the show, they examine Labour's attempts to try to take back control of the political news cycle.
In 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.
