    The irony of the Outrage Left's attack on @murpharoo and @JazzTwemlow is that it perfectly serves the agenda of the far Right to prevent progressive analysis of drivers of bigotry. Question is, are the pitchfork wielders deliberately working to this agenda, or just thick?

        Respectfully and logically debating the alt-right in “the marketplace of ideas” would be fine if the alt-right were willing to partake in a respectful and logical debate.

        Exactly ... It's a straight-out platform/soapbox not a marketplace of ideas but it would be fine if the bloody journos actually asked even the most basic reasonable questions

        THIS 👆is the problem. Sorry Bernard but journos DO NOT ask the questions needed to be asked. Do not sufficiently hold these RW creeps to account, do not do the work we need them to do.

        I am an outraged Leftie as you put it. I have posted several respectful & logically argued views to @murpharo. I am not a pitchfork wielder but I do know which one of us is thick.

        Bernard, that last bit was written in real anger. I withdraw it & have been a longstanding admirer of your writing & media appearances. I ask you to remember that Twitter is the only platform most of us have to express an opinion on anything. Please do not try to put us down.

        No don't apologise to him. You're a good man. He's being an insulting, patronising arse. He deserves every response he gets.

        I think on the whole that I may withdraw my withdrawal. I suspect that Bernard does not bother with the likes of us. 😇

        Stop assigning all opposition to Bannon & fascism as "the left". Plenty of people who do NOT subscribe to any ideology loathe what fascism DOES! In REALITY! not just because it's some "idea" they disagree with Stop accusing everyone who fights fascists as being "left"!

        Alternatively: are Australia’s white media class just really bad? Jazz’s producer got advice on how to handle race for his skit, it was ignored. Bannon wants to establish a white ethnostate. That the left picks bad fights is fair. But the fight against racism is existential.

        Get you hand off it Bernard . The drivers of racism are systemic. There’s plenty of analysis, academic, progressive, cultural and otherwise. Nobody is preventing anything other than the promotion of deliberate misinformation

        Bernard, I'm a POC journo, it is harmful to POC & other diverse ppl to let Bannon have a platform, I commend Remnick for realising this & finding a solution that allows him to do his job while causing min harm. A white ed then saying that this creates enclaves is concerning to me

        And it is concerning to me because white ppl can debate this forever without having to experience the impact of the racism Bannon's sort of hate speech generates. To dismiss me as an outraged leftie for explaining to @murpharoo why her comments worried me is not fair of you.

        They worry me because as journos we welcome moves like Remnick's that help protect us & also let us do our job AND I WANT to know that political eds at Aus papers understand what this sort of racism/hate speech means for diverse ppl when we have to live w/ it daily esp as journos

        Her comment made me question if she wld ever understand/want to understand how diverse journos working w/ or under her live w/ racism. If she feels bannon shld have a platform, i wld feel betrayed. Not just a diff of opinion to laugh off when ppl have to live w/ results of racism

        I am quite open to explaining all this to her because I know everyone doesnt always know everything & twitter isn't best means to do so. But do not dismiss my concerns please. They are valid. For us diverse ppl, we want to know that the people we work w/ also get it & support us.
