Groggy quite rightly removed a post I made earlier in the day, my apologies if it offended.

I hadn't watched MediaWatch on Monday however just watched on iView (ABC iView - Media Watch 2012). I thought JH was going to launch into AJ however the whole episode centred around the legality of AJ's speech in a supposedly private forum. Interesting. Would love to invoke Chatham House rules on these forums hehe.

Ps. Don't get me going on Tony Abbott. I am not anti-liberal per se, but I do call into question the credibility of any party that thinks he is a suitable person to represent a country, particularly when they have somebody like Malcolm Turnbull.Bushmiller;

The German word "shadenfeude" comes to mind. Delighting in the misery of another. Mr Jones is an entertainer not any kind of journalist and we all tend to forget that. Part of his spiel is the ranting exaggerating stance he takes. The trouble is his loyal audience who take him seriously, eg the Cronulla riots a few years ago. I note that he was convicted but hasnt returned his AA yet. Anyway, its good theater. Lets hope this episode finally nobbles him.
Chris Masters book is excellent, it shows the complexity of the man. A must read if you want to understand or take him on."We must never become callous. When we experience the conflicts ever more deeply we are living in truth. The quiet conscience is an invention of the devil." - Albert Schweizer

The trouble seems to be that he appears to take himself seriously.
Cheers,

I see that he is having to undergo journalist training, apparently in order to help him distinguish fact from fiction.
Cheers,
Jim
