ICYMI in last week's #WeeklyBeast, the Courier Mail photoshopped Tony Burke out of a photo with the Iranian women's football team players, and still told readers it was a photo from the "Department of Home Affairs". But they did leave his elbow behind. https://www.theguardian.com/media/commentisfree/2026/mar/13/disappearing-act-tony-burke-erased-from-courier-mail-as-news-corp-tabloid-alters-image?utm_medium=d_social

@earleyedition Imagine being the spineless, grudging, hack image editor that edits an image to remove the minister just because they're from Labor.

Imagine being the Trump-like right wing conservative Murdoch-kisser that says "remove Tony Burke, can't have a Labor politician getting credit for anything in the Courier Fail".

Imagine being the Courier Fail reader who believes that the doctored image must be correct because how could a Labor minister be responsible for anything good?

The conservative media are just awful.
