Recurring phrase in McGurk murder reporting

Monday, 14 September 2009 12:40 P GMT+10

The murder of Michael McGurk is absolutely fascinating. It's like a bloody straight-to-DVD thriller, with a touch of Agatha Christie thrown in. Barely audible tapes, political powerbrokers, dodgy development deals, notes naming potential killers,

No-joke zone

Tuesday, 12 May 2009 12:16 P GMT+10

Journalists the world over continue to grovel at the feet of President Obama. Comics, too, are generally very reluctant to give him a urinectomy (piss-take).About the only reason they'd get stuck into him is if he were to emulate Bill Clinton an

Pauline Hanson nude photo scandal

Tuesday, 24 March 2009 12:03 P GMT+10

The publication of those naughty shots reputed to be of Pauline Hanson reveals more about the meeja than they do about Hanson herself. I mean, there's next to no chance that a major news organization would publish them if they were supposed to be

Not such a good bid

Thursday, 4 December 2008 10:03 A GMT+10

Re that nauseating act of opportunism by Labor MP James Bidgood: You can understand Rudd and his fellow pollies being appalled by Bidgood trying to sell the pics of that bloke immolating himself. But you've gotta wonder about all the hacks condem

G20 gaffe still snowballing

Sunday, 16 November 2008 6:57 P GMT+10

Re those false comments about Bush not knowing what the G20 was: If Rudd himself leaked them - and it looks very much like he did - then it just confirms my view that our PM has an emotional age of about seven. And it reveals a bloody-mindedness tha

President Obama's transformative power

Thursday, 6 November 2008 8:12 P GMT+10

Now that The One has become, er, Number One, fluffy wuffies who hate America will now have to do an emotional one eighty. The country they derided as the world's most small-minded and racist has now become its most visionary and inclusive! Some a

Global warming always bad

Saturday, 18 October 2008 12:18 P GMT+10

It always amuses me that just about every story you read about the possible effects of climate change paints a scary scenario. And no positive outcomes are mentioned, even though logic dictates that this would have to be the case. Here's an

Blouse lifter condemns chair sniffer

Saturday, 16 August 2008 2:27 P GMT+10

So West Oz Labor is trying the gender card, trying to get still more mileage out of Troy Buswell's chair sniffing. Make no sense to do this. Buswell has gone, almost completely as a result of this very issue. They're clearly desperate.It'

My night on the reptiles

Sunday, 15 June 2008 8:26 P GMT+10

Speaking of snakes'and lizards 'n' such: Can't say I'm too fond of the term "Iguana-gate" to describe this Della Bosca and Belinda Neal fiasco. Though more of a mouthful "Night of the Iguana" has a much be

Gary Adshead, journalistic joke

Sunday, 25 May 2008 3:36 P GMT+10

The absurdity of this Troy Buswell quokka-kicking "scandal" still has me reeling!See, several days ago, I received a call from a friend in Perth who left a message saying that there was a story about me being the quokka soccer "ho

Reece Whitby has cake, eats it too

Wednesday, 21 May 2008 1:40 P GMT+10

Journalist Reece Whitby keeps his old gig as a hack for Channel 7, even though he's one of Labor's new star recruits.You'd think that some hacks and/or or pollies would be mightily shat off about this. And surely such a situatio

More media strangeness

Wednesday, 21 May 2008 12:39 A GMT+10

The revolting misery-pimps who produce Big Brother are feeding the "housemates" -- "inmates" would be a better term, I reckon -- live bloody insects.But in this story, the gruesome psychological cruelty of this is ignored.&nb

Pam Casellas defends a dinosuar

Wednesday, 7 May 2008 8:47 P GMT+10

Mediocre West Australian columnist Pam Casellas reveals that classic double standard of the cowardly PC feminist: It's only sexual harassment if your political enemies do it. Sure, I agree that Troy Buswell has been a bonehead who deserves

Chair sniffers and breast nuzzlers

Monday, 5 May 2008 2:17 P GMT+10

The West Oz meeja are going spacko over this Troy Buswell chair-sniffing scandal. But there's another related controversy that has receved little attention yet has been brewing for a while.That's the Alan Carpenter blouse-lifting and br

Another hack for Labor

Monday, 7 April 2008 12:23 P GMT+10

Here we go. Another journalist has been parachuted into Labor. This one's a TV hack from WA called Reece Whitby. Premier Alan Carpenter (himself a former journo) reveals a deep disdain for the rank and file of his own party with

Selective outrage

Sunday, 10 February 2008 4:45 P GMT+10

Some poor hack has been foolish enough to use a prostitution analogy in describing the use of Chelsea Clinton in her mother's campaign. He was sledged by the Clinton camp and suspended by his employer and even issued an apology.

Paddy McGuinness

Sunday, 27 January 2008 7:58 P GMT+10

Just learned of the passing of fluff-bashing legend Paddy McGuinness. Read one of his excellent pieces only a week or so back, actually. Had no inkling that he was even unwell. Met him once. I was on a bus to Balmain and

Appeal lost

Friday, 21 December 2007 12:02 P GMT+10

Just heard something on the radio about the notorious Kathleen Folbigg. A reporter was saying that she's "lost her appeal". You'd think that since she killed 4 kids she wouldn't have any to s

Putin demands respect

Thursday, 20 December 2007 7:52 A GMT+10

The editors at Time have named Vladimir Putin "person of the year" ... probably 'cause they didn't want to be shot.

Aussie journos and "pugilistic" Abbott

Wednesday, 5 December 2007 9:04 P GMT+10

Just a gripe about the news coverage of the election: Almost every time I read or heard about Tony Abbott he was described as a "pugilist" or "pugilistic". I got so annoyed with this, I wanted to b

Deja vous for Peter Garrett's faux pas

Sunday, 4 November 2007 1:10 P GMT+10

So Peter Garrett said that he'd "change it all" another time, in the presence of another journo, Charles Wooley. Lefties belive that this attack on their icon is a total beat-up over throwaway lines. But this

Mystery solved

Friday, 2 November 2007 11:40 A GMT+10

Turns out that Ben Cousins wasn't lost in the wilds of LA after all. In a pithy jibe at the media, Ben's father Bryan said:"The ill-informed comments and harassment by the media and others will not assist his rehabilitation."I

A self defeating prophecy?

Monday, 15 October 2007 2:48 P GMT+10

Whenever I turn on the wireless I keep hearing pinko hacks quacking on about the polls spell doom for the Coalition. I think that the many voters who haven't yet made up their minds deeply resent these smug plonkers presuming to predict their

Pilger the Performer

Sunday, 30 September 2007 2:53 P GMT+10

Andrew Bolt links to a cringe-worthy piece by a starstruck John Pilger admirer at The Age.This unedifying display of admiration is common in the wanky world of socialist reporting. Style always trumps substance in that joint.See, if you wanna be

McGinty versus Armstrong

Thursday, 17 May 2007 12:35 P GMT+10

You know that a professional stoush is getting serious when the protagonists start getting all colloquial on each other's shiny arses.Attorney General Jim McGinty descibes The West Australian as a "crap newspaper". Its e
