Or at least Cater should be thrown in the shallow water before he gets too deep. But the pond loves your notion of handing over the editorial and comment pages to vox pops from people in the streets. No degrees or ponces or gets allowed, ie, no Kelly, Kenny , VO, no Cater, or other elitist detritus ...<br /><br />As for Pure Poison, we'd love to hear the truth from Jeremy and Dave, but surely they could do that on Something Wonky:<br /><br />http://somethingwonky.com/<br /><br />dorothy parkerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00816807935021738560noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1462488453822156883.post-60677342829987083182013-07-17T21:10:32.984+10:002013-07-17T21:10:32.984+10:00Crikey sold its soul to big media when it axed Pur...Crikey sold its soul to big media when it axed Pure Poison.<br /><br />Ask Jeremy and Dave to tell the truth.<br /><br /><br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1462488453822156883.post-13789864908289656432013-07-17T14:11:37.883+10:002013-07-17T14:11:37.883+10:00For reasons I don't really want to get into, l...For reasons I don't really want to get into, like you do regularly DP, I am subjecting myself to some unpleasantness in the form of reading Nick Cater's The Lucky Culture. <br />It's an obvious and predictable polemic with a couple of key themes. Just because you are well educated, it doesn't make you better than anyone (however it is ok to recognise wealth) and the world is over run by "experts". Therefore a cleaners opinion is just as important as some tertiary educated public servant. Apparently, the media especially is skewed towards the tertiary elite.<br /><br />So this begs the question, under his stewardship as Opinion Editor of the Weekend Australian, why does he persist with the usual suspects of Kelly, Kenny, van Onselen etc. Why isn't his hair dresser giving his opinion on the Gillard/Rudd struggle, or his mechanic hers on the new ETS and how this stacks up against Direct Action? <br /><br />Surely they don't just talk the talk at News do they?<br />Trippi Takkanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1462488453822156883.post-9042614370467783132013-07-17T10:25:39.941+10:002013-07-17T10:25:39.941+10:00Dorothy
