Katie is back on the show and we reflect on the media coverage of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, discussing cancel culture, violence and accusations of Russian disinformation on social media.

Does #QandA REALLY have a policy that you can't promote violence? Surely politicians and others regularly advocate for military "interventions" on the show? Would someone get kicked out for suggesting Australia should send weapons to Ukraine? It's about WHICH violence advocated. https://t.co/aP4FYfjrO4
