  • 163 - Q+A, LA, and the IRGC are set us up the bomb
    2025/06/13

    NEWS WEAKLY 163 – 14th June, 2025

    This week on News Weakly, it’s bombs, bullets, and broadcast farewells as Israel goes full Mission: Impossible in Tehran, Donald Trump liberates LA from the tyranny of democracy, and Australian TV finally kills the panel show—freeing up at least 40 vaguely progressive journalists to start Substacks.


    Top Stories of the Week:

    Everything is fine in the Middle East! Israel totally didn’t just bomb another country! Why are you even worried?

    Also, America invades LA!

    And, Australian TV forces more journalists on the dole!


    Quote of the Week:

    “If your security plan requires bombing five countries before breakfast, you might not be the victim—you might be the geopolitical equivalent of a guy who’s been through five messy breakups but insists all his exes were crazy.”
