I think those sentiments are laudable (eyebrow-raising lines about Marxist infiltration aside) but ultimately hypocritical. As a newsroom operations manager for News Corp, I can't help but wonder what Peter Judd thinks about the insistently editorialised front pages of the Herald Sun and Daily Telegraph, which are far more interested in telling readers what to think than what happened. One might think that he even has some say in such matters?
Oh, and speaking of the Telegraph, I recall they were happy to publish unverified (and, as it turned out, incorrectly attributed) nude pictures of Pauline Hanson just a few years back on some pretty flimsy pretences. So people like Judd can tut-tut at BuzzFeed all they like, but his mob have been wading around in the garbage dump for years.
As for hard news, at least the ABC are still doing it. The commercial print papers seem to have given up, and as for the internet, the less said the better. The fourth estate is badly in need of some patching up. _________________ All watched over by machines of loving grace |

Man it's hard to get anything out of you lot these days.
Just days after the potential for The Donald's recycled Watergate moment that line was golden baby golden. |

Gee Trumps got big shoes to fill!
Since Obama has been in power - African Americans on food stamps - UP 58%, African Americans in poverty - UP 8.2%, African Americans NOT in labour force - UP 19.6%, African Americans home ownership - DOWN 4.6%.
Sure has done a lot of trumpet blowing and bluffed everyone big time. _________________ Don't count the days, make the days count. |

Obama took over in 2008. There was a major world economic event which occurred that year, memorably characterised by the ever-eloquent GW Bush as "this sucker's going down". In the context of the greatest financial and economic crisis since 1929, those figures are indeed remarkably good. Obama's economic management in allowing the deficit to expand (despite boneheaded Republican debt-ceiling obstruction), in rescuing GM and its army of ancillary suppliers, and in keeping the banks alive to lend, was one of his great and under-credited achievements.
The US economy is in excellent shape as his presidency ends, with low unemployment, rising interest rates, a strong dollar and low inflation. It might even be healthy enough to do well under the oafish Trump, for a while.
Statistics need to be interpreted to be any good, not just quoted. _________________ Two more flags before I die! |

What more can this idiot do in the next 24hrs?!
Chelsea Manning to Be Released Early as Obama Commutes Sentence
WASHINGTON — President Obama on Tuesday commuted all but four months of the remaining prison sentence of Chelsea Manning, the Army intelligence analyst convicted of a 2010 leak that revealed American military and diplomatic activities across the world, disrupted Mr. Obama’s administration and brought global prominence to WikiLeaks.
He's let dozens of terrorists free, given himself and his sude kick wank medals.... the blokes a nut job! _________________ Don't count the days, make the days count. |

Your opinion of Trump I presume is the exact opposite of a nut job then??? _________________ Don't confuse your current path with your final destination. Just because it's dark and stormy now doesn't meant that you aren't headed for glorious sunshine! |

I admire Obama. But this was a terrible decision, I agree. What basis was there for overturning the sentence so completely ? That treason by a US soldier paid to protect the USA is somehow more forgivable than the other crimes for which people languish in prison ? _________________ Two more flags before I die! |

You guys can suck eggs! Manning is a hero, and Obama's decision was by far the most moral option available to him. It's only a shame that it came so late. _________________ All watched over by machines of loving grace |

Skids is just making hay in the few remaining hours of sunshine left to him. Once Trump starts driving the bus, it will become much harder to blame the "elitist liberal political class" for the horrors we will witness. |
