Best of 2021: Beyond belief: How the media gets caught up on PM’s Pentecostalism
- Anthony N Castle

5 Comments
At this point, the media cycle is mostly internal, and while the media is talking to itself, Scott Morrison is talking to a rapidly growing base with significant resources. The devil isn’t in the headline here, the devil is in the detail, in the appeal itself.

- Margaret Cassidy
- 22 January 2007
U2's Bono is as well known for his political activism as for his songs. He mixes his political evangelism with the concert performances to such an extent that they almost become interchangeable.
