Here's How CNN And MSNBC Are Helping Donald Trump's Campaign
And don’t blame Fox.
As you may have noticed, Donald Trump has been on TV and in the media a lot in the last week.
Just how much? This much:
This search was done using the media monitoring service TV Eyes, which uses closed captioning. It's a very loose estimate, though. Closed captioning is often pretty rough.
The number above seems likely to be short, given this video which features 239 instances in a 24-hour period:

16 Old Liberal Tweets That Are Now Hilarious Because Of The #QandA Boycott
“The empty chair… confirms that civil war is engulfing Labor coast to coast.”
Tony Abbott's "Q&A boycott" might be one of the more intriguing political moves in recent times, with the PM finally getting a chance to stick it to the ABC.
ABC Q&A
Letters released at the end of last week show Abbott fiddling in the affairs of the national broadcaster, demanding the show move from the light entertainment section of ABC, into the news division.
Until that time, government ministers have been banned from appearing on the program.
But if you wander through their Twitter timelines the boycott really does seem a little silly.

9 Things Scientists Didn't Find When They Were Searching For Tiny Lobsters Off The Coast Of Australia
TFW you’re looking for tiny lobsters and you just end up finding four massive, extinct volcanoes instead.
You know how sometimes you and your scientist buddies go out looking for tiny little lobsters off the coast of Sydney and all you can find is four giant, extinct volcanoes?
"Hello scientists!"

That's exactly what happened to a group of scientists from the CSIRO.
"We've found a cluster of ancient hotheads just east of the Sydney CBD," the CSIRO said in this VERY sassy media release.
The researchers were looking for larval lobsters when they stumbled across four, 50-million-year-old, extinct volcanoes about 200km off Sydney.
"It proves yet again that we know more about the topography of Mars than we do the sea bed in our own backyard," ANU geologist Richard Arculus told AAP. "But there's no real chance (they) are going to erupt again ... these guys have been dead for a long time.
Which is all well and good. But you know what they didn't find?

Prominent Indigenous Women Are Furious After Gary Johns Called Pregnant Black Women "Cash Cows"
Australian senator slams Johns over comments that poor black women are forced to have babies for cash.
Australia's prominent Indigenous women are speaking up after former Queensland Labor MP Gary Johns described pregnant Indigenous women as "cash cows"
Johns told The Bolt Report on Sunday that "a lot of poor women in this country, a large portion of whom are Aboriginal, are used as cash cows right, they are kept pregnant and producing children for the cash. Now that has to stop."
Labor senator Nova Peris, Australia's first Indigenous woman elected to federal parliament, told BuzzFeed News that Johns' comments were "disgraceful."
“I’m getting sick and tired of supposedly educated people making these insulting and degrading remarks about Aboriginal people."
“Mr Johns’ comments make the ridiculous assumption that Aboriginal women are stupid, can’t think for themselves and care more about welfare than their children," an outraged Senator Peris said.
"It’s disappointing that a former MP, who is feeling the pinch of irrelevance, can only get media attention by degrading Aboriginal women and mothers, and all women generally."

Johns made the comments during a discussion with Andrew Bolt over constitutional recognition for Indigenous people.
He was responding to statistics from a report by Aboriginal Housing Victoria, which showed that Indigenous women were 34 times more likely to suffer from domestic violence.
Furious viewers took to social media immediately after the show, slamming Johns for his views.

19 Melbourne Cafes That Are Taking Avocado Toast To A Whole New Level
Because nobody smashes avo like they do.
Tom Dick & Harry, South Yarra
Smashed avocado on toast? Amazing. Smashed avocado on chia seed toast with a cauliflower, corn, pomegranate and quinoa salad, and a poached egg? Absolutely next level. Toorak Road's Tom Dick & Harry gets the avocado accompaniments spot on.
Journeyman, Windsor
Avocado and hummus come together at last in one great dish — and on one piece of toast — at Journeyman. This dish is also topped with candied bacon, a poached egg, and a sprinkle of dukkah. Along with Dukes coffee, you can see why this is one of the most popular cafes on Chapel Street.
Combi, Elwood
Of all the toast in all of Melbourne, Combi's has to be the most Instagrammed. The simple combo of avocado, feta, lemon and pumpkin seeds is a clear winner at this organic, raw health cafe.
The Vertue of the Coffee Drink, Carlton
Whoever told you popcorn wasn't a breakfast food was wrong. Because at Vertue, not only have they been bold enough to serve up popcorn with your avocado and ricotta on toast, they've been able to prove that it tastes good too.

Australian PM Says Other Countries Don't Give His Government Enough Credit For Protecting The Environment
The PM’s comments come after moving to stop investment in wind and solar projects.
Prime minister Tony Abbott thinks that the world isn't giving Australia enough credit for its efforts to reduce emissions.
Speaking at a farm in Tirrannaville near Goulburn on Monday, the prime minister was commenting on Australia's position going into the upcoming UN climate change conference in Paris.
"This government doesn't get enough credit. Australia doesn't get enough credit, for the emissions reduction work that we have already done. We don't get enough credit for the environmental protection that has already been achieved," he said.
Tony Abbott told reporters that his government had made "strong and credible" achievements in emissions reductions, and that they would be in a good position in Paris.
"It will build on the 13% reduction in emissions from 2005 levels that we are well and truly on track to achieve," he said.
He also threw down a challenge to other nations:

"The difference between Australia and a lot of other countries is when we make commitments to reduce emissions, we keep them. Other countries make all these airy fairy promises that in the end never come to anything," the prime minister said.
(Maybe he's still upset about that time he was left out of a photo of G20 leaders last year.)

His comments come on the same day as the release of a Climate Council report that found Australia is behind the rest of the world in cutting emissions.
The report found that Australia is one of the largest emitters per capita, and the 13th largest greenhouse gas emitter in the world.
It also found that Australia is now lagging behind other countries on climate action, and recommended a 40-60% reduction below 2000 levels by 2030 as the "bare minimum" to get Australia in line with the rest of the world.
Australia currently has an emissions reduction target of 5% by 2020 and is expected to announce its next target in the coming weeks.
The independent Climate Council says the number of record hot days in Australia has doubled in the last 50 years and there is proof that climate change is creating longer, hotter heatwaves.
Climate Council
The Climate Council says that the prime minister's comments that other countries did not deliver on their climate goals was incorrect.
"It's a strange assessment for the prime minister to make when China, the U.S. and Europe are all on track to meet their emissions reduction targets," Climate Council CEO Amanda McKenzie told BuzzFeed News.
"The US is on track to meet a 27% reduction by 2020 and a 26% reduction by 2025," she said.
In contrast, McKenzie said some analysis suggests that Australia is not on track to meet its 5% reductions target.
