You felt a need to point out that he was anti Abbott like it had some sort of relevence to Gregorys post. .... it wasn't me building strawmen ... I simply callled you up on it.

So you are backing down now?
without apologising... Roll Eyes

Fine.

I merely pointed out that VO is biased/prejudiced against Abbott.
Do you think that affects his portrayal of the Coalition?

Quote:

According to today's Australian, Peter van Onselen received a copy of the menu and ignored it.A senior writer on a pro Liberal newspaper receives a good story critical of the Libs and does nothing?What a surprise....

I also commented further on that.
But my VO comment is totally relevant.
He has been very critical of Abbott... since Abbott came into the leadership. The above quote paints an entirely different picture now doesn't it.

Who's backing down? simple English escapes you doesn't it? the whole time I was trying to tell you that your comment was irrelevant, and it still is ... it doesn't matter if he is anti abbott, he is still pro liberal ....

stop taking whatever drugs you are taking.

Whilst you are arguing I asked for a reference for this, from the person who wrote it, or from anyone else who can find it.

I couldn't find it. You may be arguing about nothing cos so far and unless proven wrong I have tagged it as bullshit.

At no time have I stated that Van Onselen was pro or anti Liberal. You gotta admit what being anti-Abbott has gotta mean in terms of the articles he writes though. and it wasn't what the writer of the quote I commented on was inferring

But Brough now insists he apologised not because he had seen the menu, but because the distribution of it at the function was presented to him as “a fait accompli”.
“I wasn’t to know that [the document] wasn’t there,” Brough said on Thursday.
Apologising, he said, “was the decent thing to do” in the circumstances.

[quote]“I never saw any menu. [But there] could well have been something I hadn’t seen. There are 20 people in a room. You get confronted with a document that is real and told that it’s happened, only to find out that it hasn’t happened,” Brough said.

Peter freedman said it was in The Australian on june 13th.

Quote:

The man who first released the picture of the offending menu to social media sites, David Carter, said he had seen the menu on the Facebook page of the restaurant’s executive chef. Carter said he “tried to send a message” to both the prime minister via her Facebook page, and News Limited commentator Peter van Onselen, because he was concerned about the content.

So far no confirmation. Carter the ALP acolyte who’d rather be raped by a pitbull with rabies than have Abbott as PM, says he tried to send a message.

So far I haven't seen PVO saying any such thing.
So far. But I may have missed it in the age of paper pay per view.

The photo was originally posted by Twitter user @Chef09876, who gave his name only as “Dave” when contacted by The Australian Financial Review. He said he had seen the image on the Facebook page of another employee from the restaurant and decided to share it on the social network.

“I just copied it. I tried to tweet it after the function, to send it to Julia Gillard, the Labor party, [Sky news presenter] Peter Van Onselen

gee I wonder why he'd send it to that Liberal stalwart PVO Grin

and Kevin Rudd, my local member, but I didn’t get a reply from any of them. I don’t know if they were too busy to notice them at the time,’’ he said.

“Dave” has subsequently clarified on Twitter that he did not attempt to contact Mr Rudd.

A truly reliable and unbiased source if I have ever seen one. Grin

And we give a sh1t what you think why?

You and I are as Aussie as each other and its about what's right for this country.
Everyone is entitled to their opinion in our country.

I note in most threads you still seem incapable of making a point without insulting others.
What is it with your lot and bad manners?

It makes him a perfectly normal individual.

Glad to see you admitted you're a moron though. Good for you.

the difference however, is that I don't give a bugger if anyone gives a sh1t ... you on the other hand, you want people to noitice how wonderful and brilliant you are, and I'll bet that for you, being regarded as irrelevant must really burn you up. Thats why you spend so much time telling us how wonderful you are ... no one else will do it so you hope that someone may notice if you prompt them, but even then, no one has noticed or they've laughed at you . You really are a sad fvcker Andrei
