The Project's mass exodus of hosts, chaos in Qatar, and Elon's killing Twitter

Hosts are dropping like flies from Logie-award winning current affairs show The Project. Why?

Network Ten's flagship program only one of the most popular shows on Australian television, but also one of the most criticised on social media. Hot takes are analysed intently. Hosts are criticised whatever they do or say.

But is this targeted toxicity the real reason that Lisa Wilkinson is the latest to say she's leaving? James Law and Lucy McLeod talk about their experiences with trolls and how they affect journalists.

Meanwhile there's a little tournament in Qatar that's capturing the world's attention, and not for all the right reasons.

Fans from around the world have descended on Doha, but it's not all football they're talking about. Its treatment of migrant workers, LGBTQI+ people, women, and minorities has taken precedence over the football. But is it right to put it on the footballers to take a stand?

And finally, Elon Musk's takeover of Twitter couldn't have been more chaotic if it tried. There's been mass layoffs. Staff asked to commit to 'hardcore work' or told to leave. Other staff locked out of the office. 

Will Twitter survive the next few weeks, or will Elon drive it into the ground?
