Media Man Watercooler Buzz "Media can be one of the best and worst businessess in the world" Greg Tingle News Flashback (ICYMI) June 2026 June 26 'Free speech is important': Karl Stefanovic thanks X owner Elon Musk for support after axing from Nine Karl Stefanovic has publicly responded to X owner Elon Musk, thanking him for this support and providing a platform for "free speech" after he was axed following his controversial podcast interview. "Free speech is important. Thanks (Elon Musk) for this platform," Stefanovic wrote on X “He started unplugging during the scamdemic,” Ryan wrote, referring to Stefanovic’s criticism of the vaccine rollout earlier this year. Ryan described the backlash over the interview as “massive free publicity” and "instant proof he’s no longer playing by the old rules and has woken up". "A crystal clear signal to his audience that he’s all in on unfiltered conversations," he said. "Karl’s unplugging from The Matrix is almost complete. Bro took the red pill and I am here for it." Billionaire businessman James Packer, who previously held a stake in Nine, has also weighed into Stefanovic's interview. Packer, a long-time friend of Stefanovic, told The Sydney Morning Herald that he did not think the episode was “that bad”. He said that during his time at Nine and "certainly at the Nine newspapers, the old Fairfax newspapers" there had "always been editorial independence". “I think it is pretty hypocritical not to allow Karl editorial independence. Especially on something I didn’t think was that bad," Packer said. Media Man Group praised "truth tellers" who question big corp media, especially in Australia and the UK, and rightly so. Developing story! News Flashback May 2026 News May 28 Rinehart will want influence after buying into media: Ex-Fairfax chair Roger Corbett contends it is almost certain that Gina Rinehart will express her views to how she thinks 'The West Australian' and Channel Seven should report the news, with both media outlets being owned by Southern Cross Media. Corbett was the chairman of Fairfax Media at a time when Rinehart was a shareholder, with the two having 'crossed swords' during that time, with his comments coming after it was revealed that companies associated with Rinehart, who is Australia's richest person, had 'bankrolled' most of Bruce McWilliam's $25 million stake in SCM. A former lawyer and commercial director of the Seven Network, McWilliam now owns just under 10 per cent of SCM. (RMS) News May 27 Magazine brands command mass reach, connecting with 14.4 million Australians across print and online The Roy Morgan Australian Readership report for the 12 months to March 2026 shows 14.4 million Australians aged 14+ (62.1% of the population) read magazines in print or online via the web or an app. Almost 10.8 million of this extensive cross-platform audience read print magazines, while eight Australian magazines have total cross-platform audiences of over 1 million people led by Are Media's Better Homes & Gardens and Woman's Day. Seven magazine categories have a print readership of at least 1 million people, led by Food & Entertainment Magazines with a readership of 6,300,000. (RMS) News May 26 Inside V'landys' $4b NRL bet: Does he hold a secret ace? Preliminary bids are due on Tuesday for the NRL's suite of television broadcast rights, with it being said that the deal for the NRL rights is the most closely watched broadcast deal in decades. Australian Rugby League Commission chairman Peter V'landys has made it well known that he wants $4 billion for a five-year deal, with V'landys saying he hopes it gets done before Andrew Abdo leaves as CEO on 15 July; it was announced on Monday that he was quitting to join Tennis Australia as its CEO. It is said that V'landys has an ace up his sleeve when it comes to getting a deal that is better than the $4.5 billion, seven-year deal that the AFL announced in 2022, with streaming giant Amazon said to be considering a bid for the rights. (RMS) News Waislitz backs McWilliam for SCM board Former Seven commercial director Bruce McWilliam should be added to the board of Southern Cross Media, according to billionaire investor Alex Waislitz. Waislitz owns 7.53 per cent of SCM, while it was revealed on Friday that McWilliam now owns just under 10 per cent in SCM, which merged with Seven West Media earlier this year. Waislitz contends that McWilliam would add " considerable firepower" to the SMC board, and that "I also respect the fact that he is investing his own money" in the company. (RMS) News May 19 (Australia) Investors back oOh!media's snub to PE bids Harris Oakmark and Investors Mutual have come out in support of the board of oOh!media over its rejection of two bids from private equity firms. Australia's largest outdoor advertising firm has knocked backed offers from Pacific Equity Partners and I Squared Capital, with both Harris Oakmark and Investors Mutual being shareholders of oOh!media. However, although both Harris Oakmark and Investors Mutual endorse oOh!media's decision to reject the bids from PEP and I Squared, they say its board should seriously consider any higher bids that could be forthcoming. (RMS) News May 18 Tabcorp forces venues to pay its fines Gambling company Tabcorp in December updated the contracts it has with the pubs and clubs that host its physical betting terminals; the terminals are the main point of difference to its rivals and are vital to its success. The amended contracts require the pubs and clubs to pay for Tabcorp's regulatory fines, with the changes to the contracts coming at the same time as financial crimes watchdog AUSTRAC began auditing the company, due to concerns about its ability to detect and stop money laundering and manage terrorism financing risks. (RMS) News Eurovision key moments: from Euro-pop to Euro-slop as Delta Goodrem makes Australia proud Australia has finished fourth in the 2026 Eurovision song contest in Vienna, with Delta Goodrem representing Australia with her song Eclipse, which she co-wrote. Bulgaria won the event, followed by Israel and Romania, with Australia having been in second position following the jury votes; however, it fell to fourth place after the audience votes were counted. Bookies had rated Goodrem as the second-favourite to win behind Finland following the sem-finals, with Goodrem describing her song as about "alignment, when things all come into the right place". (RMS) News Coles used fake discounts to fool shoppers The Australian Competition & Consumer Commission's chair Gina Cass-Gottlieb has had a major victory, with the Federal Court ruling that Coles had misled consumers with its 'Down Down' price discounts. Coles could potentially faces millions of dollars in fines after Justice Michael O'Bryan found that the discounts on 13 of the 14 items in a sample basket of 'Down Down' promotions were misleading because they had not been sold at the previous price for a reasonable period of time. In some instances, Coles had increased the price of a product before almost immediately selling it at a discount, but at a higher price than originally. The court has yet to issue its ruling in a similar case against Woolworths. (RMS) News May 12 Beer killer? Rise of the vodka RTD Gold Coast-based drinks maker Hard Fizz emerged at around the time of the pandemic, while the ready-to-drink canned beverage market boomed after the pandemic. Hard Fizz originally focused on alcoholic seltzer drinks, but it is now switching to vodka-based canned drinks, with CEO Wade Tiller saying the change is because you are more limited with flavour when you use seltzer. Hard Fizz's seltzer sales have slumped over the past year, at a time when there is a broader consumer shift to RTDs, while vodka-based light RTDs account for 75 per cent of Australian RTD sales. (RMS) News Drake Drops Three Albums and Shatters Spotify Records On May 15, Drake surprise-released ICEMAN, MAID OF HONOUR, and HABIBTI, with ICEMAN leading at 140 million global streams—the year's biggest album debut—and its opener 'Make Them Cry' hitting 13.2 million in a day, Spotify's record for any rap song. The albums pack 43 tracks, 14 videos, and lyrics firing at Kendrick Lamar, A$AP Rocky, Rick Ross, and others, plus nods to Michael Jackson like Drake's $123,000 Swarovski glove on the cover. He grabbed 41 spots on Spotify's global Top 200, swept Apple Music charts, and drew mixed reactions from praise for the bars to critiques of the volume and memorabilia flex.

Backed by last year's Pepsi Challenge where 66% preferred Pepsi Zero Sugar, leading to 30% sales growth, the spot includes nods to a Coldplay kiss cam scandal and contrasts with backlash to Coke's AI-generated holiday ads. Directed by Taika Waititi, who cameos as the bears' therapist, it positions Pepsi as the bolder choice ahead of Super Bowl LX on February 8.

News Best Quotes "I notice increasing reluctance on the part of marketing executives to use judgment; they are coming to rely too much on research, and they use it as a drunkard uses a lamp post for support, rather than for illumination." David Ogilvy News Best Quotes "The secret of all effective advertising is not the creation of new and tricky words and pictures, but one of putting familiar words and pictures into new relationships." Leo Burnett Best Quotes "I have learned to respect ideas, wherever they come from. Often they come from clients. Account executives often have big creative ideas, regardless of what some writers think." Leo Burnett Best Quotes “Before I was shot, I always thought that I was more half-there than all-there – I always suspected that I was watching TV instead of living life. People sometimes say that the way things happen in movies is unreal, but actually it's the way things happen in life that's unreal. The movies make emotions look so strong and real, whereas when things really do happen to you, it's like watching television – you don't feel anything. Right when I was being shot and ever since, I knew that I was watching television. The channels switch, but it's all television.” - Andy Warhol News Pop Culture Flashback "Video Killed The Radio Star" The Buggles Producer: Trevor Horn [Verse 1: Trevor Horn, Debi Doss & Linda Jardim] I heard you on the wireless back in '52 Lying awake, intently tuning in on you If I was young, it didn't stop you coming through Oh-a, oh-a They took the credit for your second symphony Rewritten by machine on new technology And now I understand the problems you could see [Pre-Chorus: Trevor Horn, Debi Doss & Linda Jardim] Oh-a, oh-a I met your children Oh-a, oh-a What did you tell them?

Some 1.45 million people also watched the premiership decider via the 9Now app, and the match had a total audience reach of 6.05 million.

Ware News (ICYMI) Alphabet Alphabet’s stake in Anthropic expands The value of Alphabet’s stake in the artificial intelligence start-up Anthropic has soared to around $US124 billion ($178 billion), making it one of the most lucrative bets in the company’s history.The Google parent disclosed in a filing on Thursday (Friday AEST) that the value of its investments in unidentified private companies totalled roughly $US124.3 billion as of June 30. The filing noted that this value is “primarily” driven by one investment, which is a reference to Alphabet’s stake in Anthropic, according to a person familiar with the matter, who asked not to be identified because the information is not public. The company said it recorded about $US77 billion in unrealised gains from its private investments in the second quarter, without providing further details in the filing. Google has emerged as one of Anthropic’s biggest backers over the past several years. The technology giant first invested $US3 billion in the start-up starting in 2023. Earlier this year, it agreed to invest as much as $US40 billion more, consisting of $US10 billion upfront and a potential $US30 billion in additional funding tied to operational and financial milestones through 2030.Alphabet’s filing on Thursday showed the remaining commitment has fallen to $US20 billion as of June 30 from $US30 billion at the end of the first quarter, suggesting that Google invested another $US10 billion in the start-up last quarter.

Media Man Gaming X News Flashback Feb 2026 Mining/Energy/Resources/Biz Rio Tinto dodges merger bullet Rio Tinto has dodged two 'bullets' due to Glencore's rejection of a merger proposal: a possible BHP takeover bid and a dangerous acquisition. BHP looked closely at whether to bid for Rio Tinto if the latter announced a merger with Glencore. The two companies would make excellent merger partners; amongst others things, their staff and senior people have similar cultures, they are co-operating on future Australian iron ore projects and they are copper joint venture partners in Chile and the US. Meanwhile, there are significance cultural differences between Rio Tinto and Glencore; there is little doubt that Rio Tinto's CEO Simon Trott would have had doubts about a merger once he understood these cultural differences. (RMS) News/Snapshot Australian Mining Global Commodity Rankings Australia holds some of the world's largest reserves and is a leading producer of several key minerals. #1 Producer: Iron Ore, Bauxite, Lithium, Rutile, and Zircon. #1 Reserves: Iron Ore, Gold, Lead, Nickel, Rutile, Uranium, and Zinc. #2 Producer: Gold, Alumina, and Manganese. Key Mining Hubs & Major Projects Western Australia: The nation's "engine room," producing 98% of Australia's iron ore and 60% of its gold. Major sites include the Pilbara (iron ore) and the Super Pit in Kalgoorlie (gold). Queensland: A global leader in metallurgical coal (Bowen Basin) and silver/lead production (Cannington mine). South Australia: Home to Olympic Dam, which contains the world's largest single uranium deposit and significant copper and gold reserves. Major Players The sector is dominated by several multinational giants and significant domestic players: BHP: Often ranked as Australia's most valuable company; major interests in iron ore, copper, and coal. Rio Tinto: A world leader in iron ore (Pilbara) and aluminum. Fortescue (FMG): Primarily focused on iron ore and rapidly expanding into green energy. Hancock Prospecting: Australia's largest private mining company, led by Gina Rinehart, the nation's wealthiest person. South32: Spun out of BHP; manages a diversified portfolio including manganese, silver, and nickel. 2026 Trends & Developments Critical Minerals Push: The government has introduced a $23 billion package to support domestic processing and manufacturing of critical minerals to reduce global reliance on single-country supply chains. Uranium Rally: Prices exceeding US$100/lb have sparked renewed interest in Australian prospects like the Kalkaroo project. M&A Activity: Major merger talks continue between giants like Rio Tinto and Glencore as they seek to consolidate copper exposure for the EV market. Workforce Challenges: The Minerals Council of Australia is currently calling for migration reforms to address a significant "skills crunch" in the sector.

The Greatest Movies Of All Of Time Media Man Spotlight Series Pop Culture Flashback: The legacy of 'Fight Club' and 'The Matrix' October 6, 2024 Broadcast via All Things Considered SCOTT DETROW, HOST: The society cannot be trusted. The system is your enemy. Man is asleep. These are some of the ideas that bring together two of the most influential and debated American films of the past 25 years. (SOUNDBITE OF FILM, "THE MATRIX") LAURENCE FISHBURNE: (As Morpheus) The matrix is everywhere. It is all around us. (SOUNDBITE OF FILM, "FIGHT CLUB") BRAD PITT: (As Tyler Durden) The first rule of fight club is you do not talk about fight club. DETROW: We've been talking about the movies of 1999 here for months. And for many people, two 1999 movies loom above the rest, both as movies in their own right, but also as pop culture that has shaped our vocabulary and our thinking decades after they first came out - "The Matrix, " directed by Lilly and Lana Wachowski, and "Fight Club, " directed by David Fincher. We wanted to pair these two together for our final conversation about that year in film because both have broad appeal that crosses a whole range of spectrums, gender and politics specifically. Depending on who you talk to, "The Matrix" is an anti-capitalist screed, a rallying cry for the alt-right or a trans allegory. "Fight Club" is either a celebration of a certain kind of manhood or a critique of it. We want to unpack how these two films have been interpreted over the years. So we called two writers who have thought a lot about it - writer and culture critic, Emily St. James, and Peter C. Baker, a novelist who writes for the music site Tracks on Tracks. Welcome to you both. EMILY ST JAMES: It's so good to be here. PETER C BAKER: Hi. Thanks for having me. DETROW: Let's focus on "Fight Club" a little first. Emily, remind us of what their reactions were like when it first hit theaters. ST JAMES: When it first hit theaters, it was a flop. You know, it had its critical champions. It had people who were saying this film is just way too hyper violent, which if you watch it today, feels strange. We've moved well beyond it in terms of hyper violence. But at the time, it was greeted that way in some corners. And then it kind of left theaters. And then it had this thing where it got picked up on home video. It was one of the first really big DVDs. People watched it over and over and over again. It became kind of its own subculture. But back in theaters, it was really kind of roundly rejected, which I think people often forget. DETROW: Peter, you have done a lot of writing where you talk about exploring the so-called manosphere, you know, these loosely sourced sites and blogs and forums and message boards concerned with masculinity and men's issues. And you wrote a story about this for The New Yorker that was titled, "The Men who Still Love Fight Club." Let's start with that. Who are those men? BAKER: Well, in the story, I was interested in both tracing this history, where in and through the early 2000s "Fight Club" was picked up by these, frankly, sort of nasty, you know, communities of so-called pick-up artists. And other just sort of online communities animated primarily by misogyny, who were not super interested in the elements of the film that constituted a critique of, like, a misogynistic masculinity. And they were more interested in the sort of potential excitement of a misogynistic masculinity. DETROW: Right. ST JAMES: I think it's interesting the degree to which both of these films have been interpreted by many of their viewers as within sort of an antifeminist context. When "Fight Club" is very pointed in how it doesn't really have moments where the characters are like, yeah, it's all my mom's fault, or yeah, it's all my ex-girlfriend's fault. They certainly have moments of, like, romantic tension with the Helena Bonham Carter character, Marla, but it is a film that is much more about here's what's oppressing me. It's my dad and it's capitalism. And, like, it's very direct about that in a way that I forgot when I recently rewatched it. There is, like, a weird streak of this film that is careful to not touch that raw nerve, and yet it was still interpreted by many people as like, yeah, you know who's holding you down? It's women. DETROW: Rewatching it and rereading the book, as well, I was really surprised at how on point it was about the alienation that a lot of people feel for modern culture and what they do with it. Because I feel like how people respond to be feeling left behind or left out has been, like, a defining trait of global politics in a way that's seen a lot of really negative implications over the last decades or so. And 25 years ago, this movie is really narrowing in on these guys who feel like there's nothing for them in society. ST JAMES: Yeah. I have often called this movie, "The Matrix," "American Beauty," some others like the Cameron Crow 2001 film, "Vanilla Sky" - I call them end of history movies after the Francis Fukuyama essay that became very well-known and very influential and also quite wrong in the end. But, like, the idea is sort of in the late '90s, early 2000s, there's this sense that we've reached the pinnacle of human civilization, and it is liberal democracy coupled with capitalism, and we're all happy about that. And these movies are like, but I still feel spiritually empty. I still feel like something's wrong. I'm still not getting the meaning I need out of life. And it does feel like "Fight Club" is especially tying that to how men feel about that aspect of their lives. The way that, like, just buying stuff doesn't fill them up. But also, like, just committing violence doesn't fill them up. There's, like, a need for connection that this movie is exploring, but it's like they won't admit to themselves that they have this need for connection, so they have to center it on violence, on blowing things up. It's a very devastating critique of a certain kind of masculinity through those lens. But it is very much rooted in that time period in a way that still speaks to us today. DETROW: Let's shift to focus on "The Matrix" a little bit now. When it comes to cultural impact today, I feel like we need to start with the idea of the red pill. Let's listen to the scene where Morpheus is offering Neo two options. (SOUNDBITE OF FILM, "THE MATRIX") FISHBURNE: (As Morpheus) You take the blue pill. The story ends. You wake up in your bed and believe whatever you want to believe. You take the red pill. You stay in Wonderland, and I show you how deep the rabbit hole goes. DETROW: Peter, let's go back to the group of people you zoomed in on in that article and spent a lot of time talking to. How has that world appropriated the idea of the red pill in conversation, in thinking? BAKER: Well, it's almost so simple and direct an appropriation that it very quickly becomes something that has nothing to do with the movie. But originally, you know, this idea or this online community called the Red Pill sprang up. And in the movie where it's suggested that by taking the red pill, the main character can sort of wake up and begin to realize the deep truth about the world, which in the case of "The Matrix" is that all of us are living in a computer simulation. Online, this sort of, quote/unquote "men's rights" community, the red pill, the revelation to be woken up to was that feminism, you know, certain modern views about relationships between the genders, were a big lie. That it was in a man's best interest to wake up from, to be awoken from, to find his fellow newly enlightened men and figure things out alongside them on message boards online. DETROW: Yeah. I do want to talk specifically about one reading that has really become increasingly prominent in recent years, and that's a lot of people talking about it and reading about it and, you know, support from the directors about the idea that it's a trans allegory. Can you tell us about how that conversation has developed and also what some of the key plot points on screen really support that read? ST JAMES: Sure. I mean, we'll just start with the red pill. When the Wachowskis were making this movie, the pill that you took - the estrogen pill that you took was red. And that often has been seen as like, oh, of course, the pill that you have to take to see the reality is estrogen. I don't like that limited of a read of the film. I think that the film contains many different metaphors within it. But certainly, it is a movie about when something in your life just feels wrong. And you wake up to the fact that what is around you is a constructed system, which I think for a lot of trans people is how they feel about gender. But one thing I think is fascinating is both of these films involve queer folks behind the scenes in some regard. Chuck Palahniuk, the author of the novel that "Fight Club" is based on, is a gay man. The Wachowskis are both trans women. It is interesting that these movies, that are from queer perspectives, ended up being so appropriated by people who are often very anti-queer themselves. DETROW: I kind of want to end the conversation really zoning in on each movie, and asking each of you what you think in each one of these films, "Fight Club" and "The Matrix," what holds up the best or what you think about the most 25 years later when it comes to just the way the film was made or the story or the images or whatever it is. Emily, I'll start with you. ST JAMES: I think, like, the core metaphors of them are so endlessly able to be sort of stretched and manipulated and turned into whatever you want them to be. I mean, I think all the time about how "The Matrix" or how "Fight Club" look at our relationship to the society we live in in a way that constantly reveals new aspects to me the older I get. DETROW: What about you, Peter? BAKER: I think they speak to this eternally recurring feeling of alienation from your setting, from your context, which can be anything. And they speak to the power of that feeling of alienation once you decide to sort of escape it or rebel against it. That's what's powerful about them - the way that they latch on to that feeling of disconnect of alienation and show all the places that it can take you. DETROW: That's Peter C. Baker, as well as Emily St. James. Thanks to both of you for taking the ALL THINGS CONSIDERED pill and joining us to talk about "The Matrix" and "Fight Club." ST JAMES: You're welcome. BAKER: Yeah, thanks.
