It had to be said.
After ten years in power, do you really need me to point out the evidence?
Media
We now return you to normal transmission. Or as normal as it gets in this blog.
But exactly what is normal transmission these days? I caught the start of Channel Seven's "curent affairs" show, Today Tonight and saw the most appalling beat up of an article about alleged political correctness. They lead with the change of the name Fairy Penguin to Little Penguin (a name change that actually occured several years ago for reasons a birdwatcher could explain) and said that it was because of complaints from the gay community. I have NEVER read anywhere in any gay publication anyone advocating a change of name. Of course the story never actually quoted anyone proposing such a change. They didn't even interview the supposed Queensland source of the story, Sea World..
More examples were cited, usually regurgitated from some dodgy overseas sources and then to lend the article a veneer of respectability they trot out some alleged media studies academic which proceeds to bag gays and any other minority.
Talk about a set up.
Apparently television stations can now broadcast blatant lies knowing full well that they can get away with it as long as they attack minorities. They must have learnt that from somewhere...
