''It's quite clear that we got ourselves through this recession by binging on drinks, drugs and burgers"
The marvelous sensationalists of Australian leftist media outlet, The Age are at it again. From a single survey and two purported 'experts' Richard Webb has deduced that during the Global Financial Crisis Australians "...painted on a happy face, popped a few pills then buried our sorrows in booze and junk food."
But whats even weirder is the way this 'journalism' (if you could call it that) somehow manages to metamorphosis into an Apple plug:
''We are about a year off open warfare between new technology and old,'' he says. He predicts that in two to three years' time this transition will reach a tipping point, ''then everyone will have to have a Kindle or an iPad''.
In year 9 Richard, I was continually reminded how important it was to link paragraphs in a piece, but hey! if a writer for the Age doesn't have to do it then why should I?
Nice work Richard

Hey! How does this prove any left leaning?!
ReplyDeleteIf you want to read right wing material there are some big paprs out there with that leaning.
Actually Will I said The Age in general was left leaning, not the article itself "The marvelous sensationalists of Australian leftisit media outlet, The Age..."
ReplyDeleteSomehow when I wrote this I had a premonition you would comment on that Will lol
hahahaha - remember however that the term "leftist" can be seen as derogatory.
ReplyDeletelol what am I meant to call them, the progressive peoples newspaper? the socialist apologist rag? I think not
ReplyDeleteProgressive isn't a bad term at all. Forward-thinking is one other one that comes to mind.
