The Media

I'm with you, I can't see why any of them get the airplay, I mean really who gives a damn about any of it. ?

Opinions? If people want opinions, join ASF and have your say, why listen to some overpaid journo's opinion.?
 
Couldn't care less about these media hungry priviliged silver spoon pair
 
Another reporter questioning why Meghan deserves this level of abuse, obviously media abuse is only allowed when the media reps decide who it will be focused on, there are plenty of people who are mercilessly attacked by reporters.
Why the indignation all of a sudden? I don't find it attractive when reporters attack anyone.
just my opinion.

Narcissist or not, Meghan doesn’t deserve this Game of Thrones humiliation

The question is not: how much do you like Meghan, but how much do we expect a human being to suffer or tolerate when it comes to public abuse?

If it wasn't reported on then nobody would be the wiser an even less wouldn't probably care a toss.
 
The headline on my phone based ABC app said quote:
Aboriginal man dies at Midwest prison, W.A's second death in custody in days.
I wonder why innocent people who get killed while minding their own business, don't get the same headlines? Something like eg.
"Another innocent person killed, because no one gives a $hit, but the police have apprehended the culprit and they were not feeling themselves at the time".

Aboriginal man dies at a Midwest prison, WA's second death in custody in days

The Department of Justice said the man collapsed while playing basketball at the regional prison, and died at the scene despite prison officers and medical staff providing first aid.
www.abc.net.au
From the article:
An Indigenous man has died in a Western Australian prison after collapsing during a game of basketball, according to the state's Department of Justice.
The man's death comes days after an Indigenous female inmate died following a "medical event" at Wandoo Rehabilitation Prison in Perth.

The Department of Justice confirmed the woman, who died on Christmas Eve, had been on life support at Fiona Stanley Hospital since the incident on December 21.

Data from the Australian Institute of Criminology showed there were 27 deaths in custody nationwide in the July-September quarter, including 11 Indigenous deaths and 16 non-Indigenous deaths.

All of the deaths were male prisoners.

In the 12 months leading up to the end of September, 106 people died in custody and 27 per cent were Indigenous.
 
I don't know if anyone else has been following the Twitter spat between LWNJ Phillip Adams and aged crooner Kamahl.
But Adams basically called the very dark skinned Kamahl a Token White Man.
Some of the media are all over this, however there has been no mention (so far) of the exchange on Phillip Adams employer The ABC.
One of his other employers, The Evil Murdoch press gave it a write up.
So imagine if you will, a right wing conservative, say an Alan Jones, or a Bolt calling a black man a Token White Man.
The screams of Racist would be deafening.
Instead, all we have had is deafening silence.

Its clear Adams has lost the plot Kamahl has been stiffed repeatedly over the years as for Jones and Bolt they both have done far worse and gotten away with it remember the chaff bag thing and Bolt being sued for telling some indigenous they were white.

Here's a few points;
Adams doesn't call Kamahl 'a Token White Man' does he. Adams uses the term 'Honorary White'.
That nuance obviously means nothing to you.
Those with a little understanding know that Honorary White was used by South Africa's apartheid government to circumvent its own laws with regard the Japanese for example.
See how now the Mandela referrence takes on more meaning. And from there, there's Bradmans 'conflicted' legacy with apartheid era SA, his conservatism is not in dispute.

There's a few, more, things you're deaf and word-blind to mulligan.

India's Cast system and English Class system ... such a neat fit.

Bolt and Jones's go to audience are by and large happly reactionary and illeducated... such a neat fit with their forums.

I suggest; a little book 'learn'n'.

How the world turns.
Andrew Tate self promoting elete misogynist decided he wanted a piece of Greta Thunberg. At least he wanted to put her in her place.

So he starts a Twitter exchange which ends disastrously for dear Andrew. Greta comprehensively skewers him.

Andrew In response dons a smoking jacket, smokes a big man cigar and gives Greta a 2 minute Twitter serve.

As a result of this Twitter rant the Romanian police anti organised crime unit have picked up Tate and his two brothers on suspicion in of human trafficking, rape and forming an organized crime group.

Check it out.

Andrew Tate arrested in Romania on human trafficking, rape charges after posting pizza box video

Days after being told by climate activist Greta Thunberg to "get a life", divisive internet personality and former kickboxer Andrew Tate is detained by Romanian authorities on suspicion of human trafficking, rape and forming an organised crime group.

'Small d*ck energy.' Why everyone is talking about Andrew Tate and Greta Thunberg.

It all started with a rogue tweet.

The down side of being a high profile media personality, your private life isn't private.

All you need to do is get more right and I'll comment less. That'd make better world for both of us.
Maybe a little more thinking for yourself and little less of Merde'dochs opinion pg's; just to keep things on topic.
 
Made me laugh.
 
I wonder if Karl Stefanovic gave everyone a update on the Michael Clarke issue? Might be a bit close to home eh.
At least with this incident, he could give some inside knowledge, rather than just an opinion.
Imagine, a topic on a breakfast show, that is first hand info about themselves for a change.
Rather than just getting paid, to giving opinions on other people's behaviour. ?

Inside late night stoush between Michael Clarke and Karl Stefanovic

The pair were holidaying together on Queensland's Sunshine Coast with their partners, sisters Jasmine Jade Yarbrough when all hell broke loose. Read the blow by blow account of the fiery altercation.
www.dailymail.co.uk

A fired up Michael Clarke unleashed on good mate, Karl Stefanovic and called him a c*** after copping a barrage of expletive-filled abuse and insults from his girlfriend Jade Yarbrough, who accused the cricket legend of cheating on her.

Disturbing footage continues to go viral of the ex-Australian cricket captain and Today show breakfast host embroiled in a wild late-night stoush in front of shocked onlookers at a public park at Noosa last week.

Below is a blow by blow account of what happened during the fiery altercation.

Two of the most spoiled , entitled pratts in the country imo.

Stefanovic is a smug, self satifised dill who doesn't deserve to be on tv. I stopped watching that show the minute he took over.

Clarke is a self promoter, thinking he's marvellous and wondering why no one else does.

Couldn't give a stuff about either of them.
 
Lucky you put names to the comments, IMO it covers most of the presenters on current affairs T.V programmes. ?
