Title: What I am told
Post by the wise one on Mar 23rd, 2013 at 6:46am

Quote:
Recently the Canberra press gallery has attracted some criticism for reporting stories which consist of nothing but quotes from unnamed sources. But surely the events of yesterday vindicate them completely.

Without these sources, nobody would have been aware of the likelihood of the Leadership spill. Then the public would have been shocked to discover that Gillard declared all positions open. In fact, the public may not have even known that an election for the Labor leadership had been held. Or rather, not held, because of the fact that nobody else stood.

Now that the principle of quoting from unnamed sources has been established as a legitimate way of reporting what’s happening, I feel quite comfortable in reporting the following:

A media executive told me that there would be a merger between Fairfax and News Limited called “FairFox”, which will run a campaign supporting Tony’s right to “No”.
A senior public servant confirmed that they were ordered to make summer hotter this year to justify the Carbon Tax.
A Liberal source confirmed that at least two of their current front bench have died, but the media haven’t noticed yet, so they figured it was best not to point it out.
An unnamed environment group told me that they have evidence that there is a Liberal plan to turn brown coal into food.
A scientist told me that there are things on Television that are controlling our brains and compelling us to change our behaviour. He referred to them as “ads”.
A reporter told me that they have been forbidden from asking Abbott specific questions on “Downton Abbey” because it might demonstrate that his claim that he enjoys watching it is a lie.
A Rudd supporter assured me that there would be a challenge today once all the Gillard supporters have gone home.

I can’t verify all of these. Neither can I tell you who said them. But I figured it was my obligation to let you know, because if you didn’t, you wouldn’t!

Numberplates seldom find anything funny, and that's understandable.

Having tight screws in each corner must be a tad uncomfortable.

Exactly wiseone.

Good to see you are able to converse with a bunch of people children. They have the same educational level at 4 as you do at your age which I guess would be around 60.

What I am saying dickhead is the way you carry on you act like a pre school kid.

you think you are smart the way you belittle and slander people all the time, but that is what kids do when they can't get their own way.

It is call cyber bulling on here.

If you read the article you would see that it is common amongst young people.

BTW, please point out where I have 'slandered' you or anyone.

Perhaps its a child troll since a troll likes to take a thread off topic straight away so nobody can have a proper discussion.

Miss Borg, I certainly know humour. My trouble is knowing whether you are being a humorist or stupid.

Either way you give me a number of laughs every day.

'unnamed sources'... one would think this is a new thing not something that has been going in since the dawn of the printing press.

He is incredibly thick and his posts are pointless - that's when you can work your way past the shocking grammar to read what he's saying.

andrei is only having a go at me because I didn't go to university like he did, I went and learnt a trade when I finish school and where would he be if there was no tradesman.

He thinks he is better then anyone else because of his eduction.

At least I know how to mow a lawn, how to change blades on a lawn mower, how to clean windows, how to change a tap washer, how to use a vacuum cleaner and I don't have to paid people to come and do things like that for me I can do them all myself.


Funny thing about andrei saying that he is better then me because I didn't go to university is when I work night time or weekends I can charge more for the job.

Is your mower 2 stoke or 4 stoke wiseone?

A trade course to clean windows.........I am impressed.

You can change a tap washer and use a vacuum cleaner..............unbelievable!!!!

The intellect of a Valley Boy is astounding.
