The ties that bind, and MBA wankers
September 28, 2009 – 2:54 pm
This ad has been running hard in Melbourne print media since the footy at the weekend:
It says something about the sort of person Melbourne University is hoping to attract to its business school … a school that apparently sees a football allegiance (the guy in the ad has decided, oh smart fellow, to wear the [...]
Press accuracy rating at a 20-year low
September 15, 2009 – 6:28 pm
The Pew Research Centre has been evaluating public attitudes to press accuracy since 1985. Pubic perceptions of press accuracy are now at a 20-year low. You may be able to believe what you read, but most Americans don’t

But which is the Wright Goanna?
September 15, 2009 – 5:06 pm
I admit here to a small amount of confusion. Does the new Fairfax opinion aggregator The National Times wish the identity of its star national affairs columnist, The Goanna, to be a secret, an open secret or Tony Wright?

September 10, 2009 – 9:59 pm
On Monday MHR Michael Danby made some pretty tough attacks on Crikey and New Matilda, both agents of malignant anti-Semitism, it would seem. His speech to the House bothered me. Bothers me. I’ve never been pigeon-holed as a racist in the federal parliament before. Read it here.

How the media works: Kyle, plus Penbo, plus PM equals PR
September 9, 2009 – 6:14 pm
It’s a small world after all. Kyle Sandilands is a boofhead. The lie detector incident. He writes a piece for News Limited blog The Punch defending himself. It’s still The Punch’s most commented post by the length of the Flemington straight. Kyle is a boofhead again. The concentration camp incident. Kyle is suspended. Punch editor [...]
