THREE CLAIMS AND A QUESTION
From the SMH:
Terrorism is increasing. Australians are more scared than ever. Yet the Government talks down the threats. Are politicians playing with our lives? Mark Riley reports.
Terrorism is decreasing. Australians, if crowd sizes are any measure, are less scared than ever. The government is aware of threats. Is Mark Riley playing with himself? Tim Blair reports.
Posted by Tim Blair at May 24, 2003 06:53 PMSorry all, Tim, time for a short rant. How lucky we all are. The yanks bless them,have the NYT. Here,unfortunately we have the SMH. Now,what blows me away is that it seems way to many average punters actually fall for the tripe they dish up.Then have the nerve to claim it as legitimate unbiased reportage.As Tim might say, "Media Watch where are you". Tim,please,break the pledge.Lose the bet.Have a go at her.You know you want to.It must be tearing you up inside.Life doesn't seem the same since you let up on her. Gawd knows she deserves it.

Posted by: Tatterdemalian at May 25, 2003 at 11:47 AMHas Mark Riley ever said anything good about the Government. It is unfortunate we still have to by the SMH 3 tims a week.
