      Does putting it in larger font over and over again make it more true?

        Big font is because the people who need to read it the most - me - often overlook it.

          OK so you’re saying the quotes from the unions and PBO are fake news?

          I ask because some people seem to think that “media literacy” means uncritically discarding all information from a particular outlet, rather than recognising the ways in which bias can affect what, and how, events are portrayed in media, and using that as a lens with which to interpret the mix of fact and framing that all reporting invariably has
