There was some discussion recently about how people used to be passionate about how bad the West Australian was, and how now they don’t care since they can get bad journalism from anywhere. Also dead is the art of the letter to the editor. Who would bother now? The letters pages are now filled by imbeciles too stupid to be able to comment on blogs. Look at this example from me to the West, in the golden days when MyNing and myself used to compete to get the most crackpot rants into The West. Brutal, and superbly written. What happened to this young firebrand? Now I won’t even let people say xxxx x xxxx! The title was “They are not errors of judgement!

Yeah, yeah interesting. But how about them Dockers?
They stinking up the city still?
This is disgraceful.
This is the same juvenile onanism that happened to the Fremantle Herald, when a young smart-arse wrote to the editor under the pseudonym Wang Chung.
Shame on you.
Nevertheless , the youthful idealism and optimism is impressive.
Everybody’s Wang Chung. Tonight
I beg your pardon: I meant Wang Ziyou.
His letters always started: “My aged wife and I…” and contained some reference to the Long March with Mao by his side.
Pathetic: you need to have a good long hard look at yourself, TLA.
The problem, DFOC, as Ted reminds us, is that “too many people don’t moan about things”, before launching into Mammy, apparently.
p.s. Very kind of the people of Haiti to take the time to post a message in the comments, though.
Brenda’s bad back!
I have put the Swindon Advertiser into my favourites – thanks to you Snuff-san.
Always a pleasure, DFOC. According to their neighbours Brenda moans quite a bit, which may explain that back.
Thanks for the shout out DC.
As is so often said they’d post any sort of crap, even if it did have some merit.
Just the slightest sniff of the rank odour of factuality or accuracy is an automatic rejection presently.
Just not low enough to reach the depths of current journalistic standards.
Wouldn’t it have been better though if Mr Bowler had blown his arse instead of his nose?
The video of Bowler apologising to Parliament should be on Funniest Home Videos – xxxxxxxx xx xxxxx xxxxxx xxxxx xxxxxxx.
