PARANOIA ERASES FACTS, RE-WRITES HISTORY
Former Age and Herald Sun editor Bruce Guthrie, now running the superannuation-funded New Daily, doesn’t seem an especially attentive type.
Former Age and Herald Sun editor Bruce Guthrie, now running the superannuation-funded New Daily, doesn’t seem an especially attentive type.
Consider this recent piece, in which Guthrie accuses News Corp staff of dismantling Malcolm Turnbull on the bidding of Rupert Murdoch:
He would have been forming a view that Turnbull’s time was up – in fact, he probably arrived with that view – and then imparted that message to his editors.
He wouldn’t have had to tell his columnists or his TV commentators because they arrived at that view months ago and have been preaching it ad nauseum.
Bruce means ad nauseam.
Foremost here have been Andrew Bolt, Miranda Devine and Peta Credlin.
Miranda is a Turnbull supporter.
They have been aided by an army of Sydney shock jocks, notably Alan Jones, Ray Hadley and Paul Murray.
Paul hasn’t hosted a radio show for nearly five years. Jones and Hadley work for Fairfax.
Guthrie’s site proclaims itself to be “written and edited by media professionals”, which is plainly another error.
