How interesting that Paul (knowallus blowhardus) Murray is calling for an apology for the state of English. When are we going to get our apologies Paul? Do we get a sorry for the bum numbing, cliche ridden, unresearched twaddle you squeeze out several times a week?

It’s very popular these days to seek apologies for all sorts of social ills and mistakes. I’m waiting for someone to come forward and apologise for buggering up journalism and, in particular, those think pieces that pass themselves off well-informed commentaries.

Just who are these opinionated arseholes who write complete horseshit week in and week out about an array of hobby horse subjects that the rest of us don’t give a flying fuck about?

There’s one fat prick, who will go nameless (although, as rightly pointed out in a recent edition of a Subi paper, we can accurately refer to him as PM) who is particularly offensive.

Apparently he was once the editor of a state paper who became so unpopular amongst both management and staff that he was given the boot, only to re-emerge as a shock jock before being displaced again because he was a complete plonker (and that says something given the radio station which briefly employed him ended up being an apologist for both Norm Malborough and Brian Burke).

This guy doesn’t do any research as a good journo should – not one fucking iota. Nor does he back his bullshit with facts.

Instead he just craps on and on, filling the majority of his columns with words that have been written by other journos.

It’s a shame that it has taken the WA journalism fraternity so long to discover what a total fraud this guy is. Or maybe it knew the whole time and decided to say nothing. After all, he is writing for a rag that slepted through the biggest political scandal in the state’s history (WA Inc) and, some years later, endorsed Colin Barnett as the Liberal leader, despite the fact his record as an energy minister under Richard Court was not only disgraceful, but fucking appalling.
