There surely must be some production nights when the LNP’s Bowen Hills Branch … sorry, News Queensland…truly rues its decision to turn in-house propaganda shitsheet The Courier-Mail from a broadsheet into a tabloid.. sorry a quality compact!
One such night would have been last Thursday, May 11, when the restrictions of the tabl.. sorry… quality compact size severely limited the number of Palaszczuk government ministers the paper could blame for letting a neglected kid gnaw on dog bones to survive.
Let’s face facts. There are 18 ministers in the Palaszczuk ministry and each and every one of them would have sat around a Cabinet table with these six woefully neglectful, perhaps even criminally so, ministers who haven’t even had the decency to resign in disgrace yet!
All those ministers would know each other on a first-name basis and could surely have been tarred with the same brush that the larger broadsheet format would have allowed, thus enabling the LNP’s main public relations outfit …. sorry, The Courier-Mail... to frame, blame and shame EVERY LAST ONE OF THEM!
When a respected news organisation… sorry, the LNP’s Bowen Hills branch… has a redhot hatred of governments not of Rupert Murdoch’s liking, the limited sized format must really grate when they’re trying their damnest to pillory and punish such political parties while at the same time making the people of Queensland finally see sense by ridding the state of them!
Oh, okay, you BUGers have cottoned on by now that this column is dripping with sarcasm, as usual. The not-so-subliminal message here is simple: would the Qld LNP’s main propaganda organ … sorry…The Courier-Mail … have conjured up a front-page like that if its political masters, the LNP Queensland were in power? Of course not.
It’s why you BUGers out there would never have seen a splash from the LNP’s main PR outfit… sorry…The Courier-Mail like the one below, no matter how accurate and fair it would have been at the time.
But it’s why the propaganda shitsheet continues to bang on about record youth crime rampant across the state even though the latest statistics say otherwise.
It’s why the shitpaper sees David Chrisafulli as a statesman-in-waiting rather than a whiny little pest with no better solutions to the state’s problems than “tired, uninterested, party-animal Anna”.
And why, come October next year, one of the nation’s fairest, most balanced and respected journalists… sorry… James Campbell (and, sadly, too many others) will be writing more shit like this from last year’s federal election, but just with a Queensland poll slant!
The PR copywriting overseers … sorry, the editors! … of The Courier-Mail must be incredibly proud of what they’ve turned their product into over the past decade or so.
