Long live your unmiti...The Master Blaster is back. Long live your unmitigated gall. Bunyip for Fairfax Editor-in-Chief!<br /><br />Now, re your article, why? Why did it happen like this:<br /><br />"Finko and Ricketty laid the groundwork and all the smarties were poised for the final assault on Rupert and his hate media.<br /><br />And just then, like Lochinvar out of the West, Mrs Rinehart arrives with $84 million and not the slightest desire to make the guest list for David Marr's next soggy-biscuit soiree."<br /><br />There is a reason why Lochinvar often does arrive, in the nick of time, to save David from taking the biscuit.<br /><br />It’s not exactly “love of freedom”, as the Yanks would put it. It is more the power of freedom, the strength of each person’s desire to make his own way, and have his own way. That’s how Rinehart made her billions, and what gave her the desire to smash down Fairfax’ gates. In a free society, you only get that power by serving the needs of others. Who knows, perhaps she might even find a way to make Fairfax serve the needs of news consumers? She has to find the staff of course.

It is their own incompetence in navigating this brave new ocean that allows her to hijack legitimately their claim to line ownership and fleets master.<br /><br />Yer nailed it, the scurvy and pox has been the demise of truth by nicety and immoral blackmail masquerading as compassion thru out society at large but really just power seeking for power sake and the odd extra sweety in the sweetie bag.<br /><br />Fishermen follow the fish, especially in this brave new age, only lonely bunyips on forsake high mountain streams use lure hoping to catch one not a hold full meals.<br /><br />They are still wrong and it seems they always will be, so the cut must be deep and broad thru those crews of jackanapes and charlatans masquerading as truth purveyers and orcales. That pompous windbag Gittins was even manning the decks last night to repel boarders.<br /><br />The bastards threw the compass and sextant overboard and wondered why they got lost.<br /><br />Fair wind matey.<br /><br />Cap Jack.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14457232127152238.post-22092606594300709962012-06-20T09:14:15.173+10:002012-06-20T09:14:15.173+10:00Dunno what they're whingeing about.

The wishful thinking is actually quite pathetic. The content, we learn, will not be the news, because Fairfax realise that they can never make people pay for ordinary news when it is available free from so many outlets. No, the "content" is their fearless analysis and comment, which they assert people will pay for.<br /><br />What's sad, and a little wistful even when you think of all the unemployment and shattered dreams - is that they will be competing in that same market, assuming it really exists on an economic scale, with the ABC - whose content is free! It doesn't seem to have occurred to them that the ABC will be the direct competitor and mortal enemy of the scaled-down, e-Fairfax commentary-and-analysis websites, nor that no-one is likely to pay for it when they can get the same tosh for nothing over at abc.net.au.<br /><br />And then, sadly, there is the content itself - who would pay for it anyway, even without the ABC?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14457232127152238.post-8652029035332757692012-06-20T06:42:58.889+10:002012-06-20T06:42:58.889+10:00You're back.

I have been visiting every day since 26 April, sometimes three or four times a day. <br /><br />Alas yesterday evening I got caught up with various pressing activities, reading Beecher's Crikey article blaming Roger Corbet, a nasty piece celebrating the strangling of freedom of speech, and of course, swearing at the tele whenever the Drona from Altona rasped her tonsils across the screen during various news breaks.<br /><br />Then went to bed early with a wog which has laid me low for some days now.
