"Carbon Cate" treatment for Dame Elisabe

Yeah, right! Roll Eyes

Quote:

Dame Elisabeth Murdoch awaits the brutal “Carbon Cate” treatment from News Ltd
June 15, 2011 – 5:25 pm, by Jeremy Sear
Following the wealthy Dame Elisabeth Murdoch’s decision to campaign for a carbon price, we’re waiting with some trepidation for the News Ltd tabloids to give her the Cate Blanchett treatment:

‘Elitist Elisabeth’ Murdoch tells Aussies to pay up over carbon charge

DAME Elisabeth Murdoch has sparked outrage in the community with her decision to participate in a campaign promoting the federal government’s controversial carbon tax.

The millionaire Dame has been accused of being out of touch by spruiking the benefits of the tax which she can afford to pay, unlike many hard-up Australians.

Ouch.

Or, hell, what about when that fearless warrior for truth Andrew Bolt remembers how he feels about rich warmists and gets stuck in?

A lesson in sacrifice for the planet from the woman in the luxury Bentley*

Or the highly-principled Miranda Devine?

How can a multi-millionaire who lives in an enormous multi-million dollar pile in Langwarrin, and is driven around in a chauffeured Bentley, tell less privileged Australians to say yes to a tax that will send electricity bills skyrocketing? The hypocrisy is astonishing.

Imagine what’ll happen when those consistent campaigners against the corruption of privilege are forced by their consciences to give the mother of their proprietor the same treatment they gave Cate Blanchett.

It’s not like they could get away with just this without being absolute laughing stocks, could they?

*I have no idea what car Dame Murdoch drives.

Good point.....If Cate Blanchett copped criticism then Dame Murdoch has committed the same offence....Where is the condemnation from the right wing media???

Raging hypocrites,t he lot of them. They are happy to savage Cate Blanchett for voicing an opinion but won't say peep when it's their bosses Mum!

Goes to show, when it comes to right winf polemcists, it's not what is being said rather who is saying it. If climate change was perceived as a ''right wing'' issue then these clowns would b the strongest supporters of a carbon tax.

And probably the smh points at the deniers, and generally taints them all with the same level of tainting. But here we have News Ltd, attacking anyone who is rich and pro AGW. Except not everyone who is rich and pro-AGW.

Forget the media's treatment of Dame Murdoch et al, relative to their 'Carbon Cate' propaganda campaign - what about Tony Abbott's commensurate dressing down!?

The leader of the Tropposition made a point of dismissing and demeaning Cate Blanchett in re-drawing the battlelines in his own little class-cum-climate war - so why isn't Tony Abbott reinforcing the barrage and firing verbal crap upon the latest vocal bevy of rich gits who have dared to speak out in favour of a price on carbon!?

Well!?

Is this confronting for you? Fronting an ad campaign (Blanket) is not the same as signing a letter (Murdoch).
