Anyone that thinks the news media is about anything but selling advertising is naïve at the very best. MSNBC or CNN or Fox don't give two shits about your need to know or reporting a story in a fair and balanced manner. They are in the BUSINESS of selling advertising.

I believe that Djokovic has every right to refuse vaccination. I also believe that the Australian Open has the right to require participants to be vaxed. No contradiction at all-Don't sign up if you aren't vaxxed and can prove it.

Muhammed Ali went to jail for two years IN HIS ABSOLUTE PRIME due to his refusal to serve in the US military. That is commitment to a cause. Does Djokovic have the same level of commitment? I have no idea. Has any media outlet told us one way or another? Not so much so far as I know. Not that I've followed it all that closely.
