The problem is as obvious as it is troubling, Spotlight travelling the world and capturing profound human drama in service of a story about renewables that was never going to stack up. #MediaWatch

Wild attack on batteries and renewables by 7's Spotlight program falls over at the first fact check

TV program looking at appalling mining practices in Congo says it is a blight on the renewables and storage industry. But it falls over at the first fact check.

The Mexican drug cartels, an 85 year old rancher and Trump’s unfinished border wall…the immigration crisis at the centre of the US presidential race abc.net.au/news/2024-07-24/t…

Trump's giant red border wall snakes its way through a ranch in Arizona. Then it stops

Where Trump's unfinished wall ends on Jim's ranch you can simply walk across the border into Mexico. It's the centre of a political battle that will shape the US presidential election.
