This week on Media Blind Spot:
The ABC deletes an interview with a Palestinian advocate after backlash, ATO whistleblower Richard Boyle pleads guilty after legal protections collapse, and David McBride loses his appeal , jailed for exposing alleged war crimes while Ben Roberts-Smith and the army command walk free.
Three stories, one pattern: whistleblowers punished, critics silenced, and accountability avoided.
