Hello? Spot the Media braincell! .
It never ceases to amaze me just how low the stocks have
fallen in Australia's media. Alleged journalists are now so
inexperienced, so lacking in general knowledge and - worst
of all - so gullible, it defies belief.
Common sense and a hard attitude towards the world used to
be a badge of pride on journos, who were fiercely proud of
their duty to defend the public against all comers.
They did that by asking hard questions - particularly of
politicians - but nowadays the toughest question a pollie
has to cope with is "would you mind repeating that one-line
grab of propaganda you are spouting because I didn't quite
get it down."
Now a prime example of media cretinism has to be over this
issue of the Federal Government issuing a terrorism alert
asking people to be vigilant.
Instead on concentrating on getting out the message that
we all need to be more watchful for unusual or suspicious
items or activities as we go about our daily lives, the dickheads
of the media - even on the last bastion of semi-reasonable
journalism, the ABC - were more interested in asking what
does vigilance mean?
It means open your bloody eyes you morons. It can't get much
easier to understand can it?
What the Government is saying is that there have been threats
against Australia, we don't know where - like they be asking
people to look out if they knew! - so just keep your wits
about you.
As anyone who has lived in London or Europe - where they've
been dealing with terrorism for decades - can tell you you
don't need to panic, just use common sense.
Simple things such as reporting to the coppers an unattended
bag left in a public place.
One thing you don't need to report, however, is any sitings
of a jolly fat gent in a red suit being pulled along in a
sleigh by reindeer on Christmas Eve!
Mind you, that could be the perfect disguise for I'man OverLaden
Bin and his cronies so ... SHOOT HIM DOWN .... SHOOT TO KILL!!!!!!!
