How Legacy Media Killed Real Journalism to Shield a Genocide w/Antoun Issa

Episode 39 of the Bogan Intelligentsia Podcast – Antoun Issa (ex-Guardian Australia senior editor, Deep Cut founder) on why he quit one of the country’s top media jobs over its Gaza coverage, how Australian journalism remains a racially gatekept Anglo-elite club, why “objectivity” is code for colonial bias, the untouchable power of the pro-Israel lobby in Canberra, and how independent outlets are now the only ones doing real investigative work on weapons deals, Pine Gap, and Australia’s complicity in Israel’s genocide. The most brutal, necessary autopsy of Australian media you’ll hear in 2026.

Episode Details: Duration ~95 minutes | Release Date: Saturday, 28 November 2025 | Guest: Antoun Issa – founder Deep Cut, ex-Guardian Australia
