"The Lot" specific question

If someone could link me to a couple of page numbers or chapters in this text that give Leunig's perspectives on the media, I'd be grateful.

Thanks  :)

I did the 'The Lot' just recently! All and all Leunig does not like how media exploits certain things. For an example read 'Thou shalt be attractive'. It is essentially him discussing his disgust in how media makes us want to 'flawless'; the dictator being mass media.

Yeah that's the only chapter I've got so far that has anything to do with the media kezzab. I was just wondering if there's anything else...thanks for the help!  :D

There are a few more: The Desert Fax, Hello Welcome to our Drought, and the one on terrorism. They are scattered throughout his piece, however, some are quite implicit.

There is also one where he describes his experience on Andrew Denton's 'Enough Rope'. I think this essay would probably fit the description best, out of all of his essays in the collection.
