Hey, Speersie! Why don’t you fuck off back to SkyNews where you belong!
I’m offering this advice before the start of today’s ABC Insiders program where my best guess is that on the fifth week back for the 2023 season, you are finally going to get around to mentioning the Robodeath … sorry, RoboDebt .. Royal Commission’s sittings and shameful revelations.
That’s right. On the back of the red-hot criticism you’ve been copping on the social media platforms you despise, my suspicion is that you will finally be forced to practice journalism and take a peak at least at what looks very much like one of the worst examples of government malfeasance and possible criminality in this nation’s history.
But you know what, Speersie? You can devote the whole fucking hour to the Robodeath RC and my advice to you would remain: Why don’t you fuck off back to SkyNews where you belong!
Really, Speersie? Week after week of evidence of the most appalling behavior of a cruel and vicious government and crickets from Insiders? A procession of government ministerial fuckups and fools with barely a braincell among them to remember exactly why they focussed only on the votes that might come their way by using an illegal scheme that no-one told them was illegal to hound innocent, average, Australians to their graves and not worthy of some minutes over four hours?
The very sad evidence from deep within the cesspit of sycophantic, brown-nosing, senior public service suckholes not worth a fraction of their salaries who have probably forever damaged the reputation of the nation’s public service and nothing? Nada. Zilch. Zero.
Oh, except for the final say of the first Insiders back in early February when the ABC’s Dan Bourchier nailed the first week of the RC in that it “exposed just how horrific that illegal scheme was and the impact it had on people”. Dan added that the way people’s information was used to vilify them in the media was disgusting. Great to have a real journo on the panel for a change, by the way.
And, boy, oh boy, Speersie, did you give him your full backing: “A good look at how sausages are made.” Wow!
Speersie, why don’t you fuck off back to SkyNews where you belong!
No, hold on. I’ve just realised I might have you all wrong. As a Walkley-award winner with a proven history of knowing hot topical news when you see it, maybe for weeks you’ve been pleading with your producers and eventually pounded on Ita Buttrose’s door, demanding that the show focuses on this horror show that was Robodeath.
Nah! Stupid thought. Speersie, why don’t you fuck off back to SkyNews where you belong! And why don’t you take Ita Buttrose with you!
And why? For all those weeks, you blindly followed the lead of Newscorpse’s media outlets and totally ignored the shocking, scandalous evidence that poured out of that RC daily like a busted inlet valve at the sewerage works.
Newscorpse is the suppurating boil on the arse-end of what’s left of journalism in this country and it was not your job to ape them; to protect the disgraceful behaviour of past LNP federal governments.
I’ve had this rant in mind for a long time and even at the start of last week’s program, I waited patiently for you and your panel to dissect the Robodeath RC’s findings.
What did you start off with, Speersie? A sermon on Labor’s plans to double the tax on extra earnings of people with more than $3 million in super. You seemed super keen to play up the electoral risks for Labor if they went ahead with that super tax change.
My best guess is that you, deep down, agree with The Australian’s view that almost everyone in Australia will be appalled by such a move. It’s all bullshit, of course. And a balanced, fair, journalist working for Aunty would know that.
But, you see, Speersie, there are other reasons – apart from ignoring Robodeath and cracking half a mongrel at the juicy prospect of Labor paying a political price for breaking a promise not to change superannuation – why I’d dearly like you to fuck off back to SkyNews where you belong!
It’s this clear view that you think the state of affairs in Australia’s mainstream media is okay.
You have derided the citizen warriors on social media, especially Twitter, who saw Morrison for what he was. My best guess is that like almost everyone else in the MSM, you wanted that dreadful lying, lazy, loathsome cunt Morrison returned. So for that as well, all I can say is: Speersie, please fuck off back to SkyNews where you belong!
My other best guess is that, on balance, you thought the MSM’s coverage of last May’s election was professional, fair and balanced. And that you think Newcorpse’s coverage of the current NSW election – especially The Daily Telegraph – is also professional, fair and balanced.
And that your distaste for the citizen journalists on Twitter who saw right though Morrison when most of the MSM missed the memo remains as strong as ever.
For all these reasons, Speersie, can I please, humbly, and with my best wishes for the future outside journaliam, plead with you to fuck off back to Sky News where you belong. And take fucking Ita Buttrose with you!
