Re: 2013 Federal Election
Is that really the front page of the Daily Tele?

Re: 2013 Federal Election
Well I don't really read newspapers, but yeah it would! You can't spout opinion on the front page. Tsk tsk tsk.
Re: 2013 Federal Election
I'm sure it's just coincidence that last week Murdoch flew in reinforcements from the US for "two or three months".
The fact that Rupert Murdoch wants the Coalition to win the election so badly should be scary to all voters.The full email to News Corp Australia:
I am writing to inform you of a temporary change we are undertaking to provide our Australian newspapers with additional editorial direction at a particularly challenging time.
I have asked Col Allan, Editor-in-Chief of the New York Post, to spend the next two or three months working with Kim Williams and providing extra editorial leadership for our papers, which are in the midst of an important period of transition in our key markets.
Col, who will be in our Australian offices next Monday, will return to his position as Editor-in-Chief of the New York Post following the assignment. In his temporary absence, Jesse Angelo, the Publisher (and a former Executive Editor) of the Post, will oversee our very talented journalistic team.
I would like to thank Col for taking on this project. It will be invaluable for our papers in Australia to have the benefit of his insight, expertise and talent. I am also grateful to Jesse for his willingness to accept additional responsibilities during this time. His talent and dedication are greatly appreciated.
The ability to utilize our assets globally and across platforms is a core strength of the new News Corp – we all have much to learn from each other.
Robert Thomson
Chief Executive

Non of the parties are going to fix the shit I want fixed, so fuck 'em all
Re: 2013 Federal Election
I'd be more worried about the fact that the dickheads at Fairfax want to keep Labor in. Terrible. God I hope they get rid of Rudd.
Re: 2013 Federal Election
Why would that worry you?
Re: 2013 Federal Election
Because Labor has been a complete and utter mess and bad for the country, and yet they want to keep them in?
Re: 2013 Federal Election
That doesn't at all explain why you're worried about Fairfax.

Re: 2013 Federal Election
I think you should listen to the Tele, it says they're for Sydney afterall.
What a strange thing to put in their logo. They feel the need to tell people? They felt it was in doubt?

Hercy: Are you being purposefully obtuse or just dumb?
You say "The fact that Rupert Murdoch wants the Coalition to win the election so badly should be scary to all voters."
Why? Why should that be scary? Meanwhile you're not worried that our biggest competitor to News is being so utterly and ridiculously biased that they want to keep in a government that is actually bad for the country.
Even the Daily Telegraph said it was time for Howard to go in 2007. Anyone with half a brain can see it's time for Labor to go.

Re: 2013 Federal Election
Seeing that cunt Rudd on TV yesterday reminded me what an absolute piece of shit he is. So many lies.
I can't believe I think I actually prefer Julia.
Labor pretending to be their own opposition.
Rudd being back and spouting slightly right of centre just highlights how we only have right and extreme right options.
I'll be going back to good old informal. I can't bring myself to vote for any of these fuckers.

Re: 2013 Federal Election
Because Murdoch and News Ltd are bereft of ethics and regularly exploit weak and vulnerable people and groups. The organisation does not take any action against its journalists when they are found by Courts to breach the Racial Discrimination Act.mech wrote:Hercy: Are you being purposefully obtuse or just dumb?

Re: 2013 Federal Election
Ahahaha.
Also even though this is Fairfax, I'm still going to blame Murdoch and the NBN.

Re: 2013 Federal Election
Murdoch is a business man and his track record shows not much if anything (decency, the law) will stand between him and getting business over the line.mech wrote:Why? Why should that be scary?

As for Fairfax they've editorialised for changes to Liberal governments as well.

Re: 2013 Federal Election
At least he's being frank about his bias now.
Interesting how the Coalition zombie rhetoric has changed from 'Murdoch is not biased' to 'but it's okay for newspapers to have a voice'. Unless you're that wicked bastion of communism Fairfax.

Re: 2013 Federal Election
What I've observed from News columnists and regular commenters is commercial media is private enterprise and so should be allowed to print what they like, usually said alongside their whinging that the taxpayer-funded ABC is left-biased. Which makes their whinging about Fairfax even more mopey.

Re: 2013 Federal Election
I like your cute attempts at conspiracy theories.
Personally I'm much more intrigued by this one:
See that latin there? That says 'Novus Ordo Seclorum'. It means New World Order, or in laymans terms 'One World Government'.
If you still think 'nationalism' is the biggest threat to you, then you are 60 years behind the curve. Get with the times.
Let this picture of Bob Brown inform your interpretation of his calls to 'clean up the media' while the national broadcaster unashamedly backs him and his union bully boy mates at the Labor party, funded by tax payers money instead of reader demand.
Personally I'm much more intrigued by this one:
For comprehensive Earth action, an all-of-the-Earth representative democracy is required. That is, a global parliament...
...let us here in Hobart, and around the world, highly resolve that through global democracy we shall save the Earth from perishing.
...Let Australia take the lead in peacefully establishing a global parliament. I explained that this ultimate democracy would decide international issues.
...That query ‘will people a hundred years from now thank us?’ should be inscribed across the door of Earth’s parliament.
