I'm sure I'm not the only one who is probably just as confused about the anti-terror raids now as I was when they happened. Going to track down that Operation 8 doco and hopefully get a better picture...

On-demand ...

Last night's Media Take.

And the extra interview with David Blyth, which is (inevitably) actually better than what actually went to air.

With Buzzfeed, there should definitely be a move away from the more egregious swiping of content from other places without "value added". I notice they're being a bit more careful with attributions, but the posts that consist of ALL the images from someone else's blog article, with only a sentence…
