    Twitter and bisted ...

    When journalists' jobs are on the line, their imaginations fire up. Here is a splendid example of sharp, insightful, cutting and poignant writing. The best I've read for a while ... p.s. my heart goes out to them, seriously.

    Hi CT,

    That was an interesting article, you have to feel sorry for them. All sorts of stupid things happen and then they tell you goodbye. I have been there so I can commiserate with them.

    With the exception of a few, I find most newsjournalists and their masters at the editorial desks to be a most despicable lot. If they cut out the political commentary then I can read what they write. Otherwise, their petty and personal screeds ain't worth the paper its printed on - 'Tis only fit for one thing - BURN IT!!!
    *If a man wants God to hear his prayer quickly, then before he prays for anything else, even his own soul, when he stands and stretches out his hands towards God, he must pray with all his heart for his enemies. Through this action God will hear everything that he asks* -Abba Zeno-

    *Protagoras: "Truth is subjective. What is true for you, and what is true for me, is true for me. Your opinion is true by virtue of its being your opinion."

    *Socrates: "My opinion is: Truth is absolute, not opinion, and that you are in absolute error. Since this is my opinion, then according to your philosophy you must grant that it is true."

    Sweet Corn - I must say I agree with you and I don't. In the case of our two main broadsheets (The Sydney Morning Herald and the Age (Melbourne)), I have to agree, most journalists are forced into towing the party line and printing what's deemed kosher by the rich bastards that own the newspapers.
