and I think they are actually called “The Chicks” now because they felt “dixie” was a racist term. Fun fact #2 about them

Just to clarify, slightly pedantically, they didn’t think “Dixie” was itself racist, just that the context of the word made it associated with the racism of the South and that was something they felt they wanted to distance from. Similar thing with Lady Antebellum who changed their name to Lady A.

With regards to Piers Morgan. I am not a great fan of his because of the way stuck up for Trump for a few years and then he had this obsession with Harry and Meghan exit.
Under lockdown, I have been watching his Morning show and I have appreciated the way Morgan put govt ministers like Hancock, Williamsom, Schnapps, Raab and Patel on the spot. He grilled them ferociously, whereas some seasoned journalists haven’t been asking the tough questions at govt press conferences
He highlighted the plight of NHS when they were given inadequate PPE, being charged huge fines for NHS Hospital parking, which he paid for. He spoke up for for nurses and doctors and highlighted how serious the Coronavirus pandemic was and with alarming rates of Covid deaths. It was falling on deaf ears. There are alot of NHS staff who are grateful to him. Credit is given where it is due.

While he is due some credit, I think we should be careful to give him too much. He has grilled the ministers, but he has also often wasted that time by asking pointless questions such as whether they should resign instead of ones that could have provided more insightful answers for people watching. His recent interview with Williamson for example.

He’s tried to act the Paxman-esque tough interviewer, but more often than not had the opposite effect, because he comes across as a thick bully.

Piers Morgan is an oleaginous slime ball with a long history of being wrong on most things, and especially wrong in the way he carries himself.
However, I’m with Maria on that one. A Horrible person can occasionally do the right thing. Stopped clock is right twice a day. A blind frog gets a fly once in a while. Etc.

The guys a fuckhead
He tore apart with the use of editing and sound cutting an Australian representative of parliment for suggesting the bushfires of last summer were excaserbated by lack of back burning.
Now, the pillow was a soft target because he was a climate denier, but his point was solid, and he represented his public.
A lot of last years bushfires were caused by lack of backburning.
The indigenous Australians, even after all these years, still know the land better and have the best backburning techniques.
But oh no! Fuck face Morgan knows better than 60,000 years of land knowledge and KNOWS the only cause of last years bushfires are the conservative governments policiy on mining (as bad as that maybe, and as much as it needs to change) Morgan really missed a good opportunity to get a better knowledge of the Issue, and deliver that to his viewers.
( and the pillow in question is a bit of a dick)

To be pedantic, controlled burning is the process of clearing vegetation in the cooler, wetter months in preparation for the dry season, while backburning is the process of clearing vegetation in front of an already developed fire front to limit the fuel available to it.
I fully understand the angle that environmentalists have inhibited proper controlled burning to some extent, but let’s not pretend the climate in Australia isn’t the biggest problem. Take a look at the average temperatures over the last 100 years. Temps are skyrocketing. The warmer months are becoming increasingly drier.
I’ve recently come from one of the wettest places in Australia in SE Qld ( probably only second to where I’m from in Tas…) And their fire season these days starts in mid-August! It’s unheard of in those parts. I doubt the aborigines ever faced that.
The window for controlled burning is ever shrinking. It’s becoming all too regular these days hearing that a controlled burn has escaped containment lines and is now uncontrolled. It’s becoming increasingly difficult to find a good time to do it…

Morgan is a sensationalist and a bully. It seems he’s never really moved on from his job in the tabloids.
Still I applaud him for calling out the government on stuff that needed to be exposed. To my knowledge it was only really him and Preston on mainstream TV.

Apologies for my pretty basic stuff up, of course controlled burning was what I was referring to
And yes, not for a second denying there’s some serious issues outside of that, but as you’ve just proven, there’s a lot of subject to be discussed, rather than just scoffing at someone who does not just hold his hands up and basically say ‘ it’s too late, we’ve fucked it and it’s all doomed’
I guess what really got me, was not that the guys point was solid, it was just that he was an elected member of the Australian parliment and even if he was Donald trump RE incarnated, he deserved a platform of some sort, if you saw the interview you’ll see what I mean.
Maybe it was the way he was dismissed with such arrogant sustain, when a more capable journalist might have been able to take him to task …

WASHINGTON — The Justice Department’s top leaders listened in stunned silence this month: One of their peers, they were told, had devised a plan with President Donald J. Trump to oust Jeffrey A. Rosen as acting attorney general and wield the department’s power to force Georgia state lawmakers to overturn its presidential election results.
The unassuming lawyer who worked on the plan, Jeffrey Clark, had been devising ways to cast doubt on the election results and to bolster Mr. Trump’s continuing legal battles and the pressure on Georgia politicians. Because Mr. Rosen had refused the president’s entreaties to carry out those plans, Mr. Trump was about to decide whether to fire Mr. Rosen and replace him with Mr. Clark.
The department officials, convened on a conference call, then asked each other: What will you do if Mr. Rosen is dismissed?
The answer was unanimous. They would resign.
Their informal pact ultimately helped persuade Mr. Trump to keep Mr. Rosen in place, calculating that a furor over mass resignations at the top of the Justice Department would eclipse any attention on his baseless accusations of voter fraud. Mr. Trump’s decision came only after Mr. Rosen and Mr. Clark made their competing cases to him in a bizarre White House meeting that two officials compared with an episode of Mr. Trump’s reality show “The Apprentice,” albeit one that could prompt a constitutional crisis.
The fact that it could even be contemplated…that fact that a sympathetic and ambitious bureaucrat could suggest the move knowing it would be seriously countenanced, leading to a showdown in front of the emperor…fucking hell…
Framing the above with the argument presented in the article below does not add up to a pretty picture.
