How the Media Fuelled Police Brutality. Plus, an Epstein Files Cheat-Sheet

Os and Scott unpack the violent police crackdown on protesters opposing the Israeli President's visit to Sydney on Monday. They discuss the confronting footage of police tackling Muslim men as they prayed and evidence police punched a number of protestors as they were restrained, before zooming out to look at how the political and media atmosphere over the past two years led the country to this horrific moment.

Then they discuss the global fallout from the latest revelations in the Epstein files, and why the media coverage in Australia seems so far behind the rest of the world. They step through how the files reveal an international network of patronage, money and favours involving some of the most powerful figures in global politics and examine the allegations that Epstein was an intelligence asset.

In Keeping Tabs, Scott and Os review the ABC's Four Corners episode this week examining intelligence failures in the lead-up to the Bondi attack, and Scott shares a good news story about the media industry.
