So the Margoyle is refusing to discuss the topic further? Why ever not? Could someone at the SMH show some backbone and cut her loose once and for all.

W00t my ad is up!

What's interesting is that the SMH has not published any letters to the Editor on this subject. I know I sent one, and I'd be seriously surprised if I was the only one. My letter didn't get shifted over to the WebDiary for publication, so I presume they binned it.

I wonder how high the tide of letters was, especially compared with the subjects they did choose to publish?

Why is Imre doing what David Marr is paid to do by the taxpayer, and is obviously not doing?

Imre is a great journalist and a credit to his profession. His obituary on the guy who invented canned laughter had me in stiches; but he can be serious at times like this, too.

Will you guys please lay off Margo. Do you actually want her fired? If the pressure contin ues that is what will happen. And then who are we going to have as the postergirl for the stupid racist left. Leave her alone and let her get on with the job of making the left, the SMH and Latham look really dumb.

Antonia Zerbisias?

It's instances like this that I truly love the internet. Once you put something out there, there's no recourse or revision that will go unnoticed by a simple Google search. When will the LLL's finally wake up to this simple reality? Margo is damned by her own written words and ridiculed for her corrupt actions.

Like Paul Wright, I tried a letter to the SMH and got nowhere. Here's what I wrote (more or less, not having taken a copy), reflecting an earlier post on this site:

"It’s been a week since Margo Kingston told us about the influence of the international Zionist lobby. We’ve read her Webdiary and her ineffectual apologies: ‘I’m so sorry; I thought it was a statement of fact; I never meant…..’ Kingston seems even to be unaware that her original quote could have come direct from the authors of the Protocols of the Elders of Zion; and unaware too of the things that followed from that.

The decades-old nightmare is upon us. The jackboot of the left has finally found its natural counterpart on the right, and they have found a terrifying rhythm; they march in step, toe to toe. It’s the Jews; the international Zionist lobby is everywhere. Theirs is the concealed hand that activates those hapless puppets, Blair, Bush and Howard. The IZL is behind it all. In the Kingston X-Files, that's the truth out there: the Zionists' endless malignance.

For a hundred years the Left has had decency, common sense and Emile Zola on its side, even when it was wrong. Now, if Kingston is typical of the set, it’s lost all of them. Kingston’s error was not a mistake; it wasn’t something you can apologise for; you can’t come back from where she’s been. Hers was a reach-back into the heart of darkness. The old, honourable Left would have died of shame."

I realise that the first sentence of the last paragraph is a tad debatable.

As in American Beauty
I have a new personal hero.
Well done Imre.
I still would hate to see Margo go though.
She gives me so much pleasure,I would miss her.
P.S I have found out where she drinks her coffee and have tickets available to view her meltdown if JH wins the next election.

Ah!

Imre Salusinszky. Journalist.

A real one.

Wonderful, truly wonderful, to see there are still a few REAL ones left.

We see too much of lazy delusionists and brain-impaired fantasists like the vile Kingston, appalling McGeough, and execrable Adams.

Thank God for blogs, where journalism is being reforged as the vocation it is.

"Thank God for blogs, where journalism is being reforged as the vocation it is."

Exactly. I no longer put all journalists into my 'scum bucket' because of blogs. There are many around who haven't been assimilated and become part of the Borg Collective in journalism. There are individual journalists who don't take part in the group think and who actually expose it (like Tim does) for what it is.

I've concluded that in Margo's world the idea of a Zionist lobby controlling politics and the media is taken for granted. This is why she seems unable to see the points people have been trying to make. To her, it's (Zionists' control) as obvious as the sun at noonday.

The Zionist control would also explain to her why others, not as clever, *can't* understand her point and have taken offense. She can't apologize for her belief in something that seems so patently obvious (to her).

Of course, she could also just be a moron and therefore not understand why people are so upset. But I doubt it. I think she does understand. She just doesn't want to apologize for something she believes is real.

I had a brief string of emails to/from Margo on what I saw as an evasive 'apology', It ended with the question "do you believe jews/zionists" control politics and the media - yes or no". She would/could not bring herself to say no. All her responses were dismissive, like I had no right to quetion her staed views, I always kept it clear and civil.

In the end I deleted the lot (so I cannot post them)- I felt stupid for even bothering

Well, you know, Australia is a free country and she's entitled to her opinion.

(Note to self: at next meeting of International Zionist Conspiracy find out who leaked this to Margo. *remember to delete this before posted on Tim Blair's site*)

"Well, you know, Australia is a free country and she's entitled to her opinion."

Yes. No matter how revolting some may find that opinion. If she really believes it, she should be honest and come out and say she does. I hope she doesn't lose her job because of any opinion she has. As long as it's known, whatever she reports can be viewed as filtered through her opinions.

The far left is very intolerant of differing opinions. They demand adherence to a set of beliefs and opinions. I loathe this. I'd much rather tolerate someone's opinion I can't stomach than support the imposition of group-think. (As long as it's equally OK to say the opinion is crap.)

Why would we ever need to know about her "inner calm"? Is it a journalistic stunt, or is she that narcissistic that the believes that SHE is news?

"I'm not happy, Imre, that you've responded with contempt and gratuitous insults. So be it. I will not reply to further contact from you."

Typical media ego. Response to criticism is to either shut out or attack the responder. Under no circumstances must one's facade concede that another has your measure.

Heck, they're ALL like this, believe me.

Forget Margo - she's on the hydro...

Well, we can be certain that Margo did not purge her webdiary, it was done by those darned Zionist hegemons. And her attempts to get to the bottom of it and provide an explanation are being thwarted by the same hooky-nosed, curly haired jooooos! Curse them and their evil science, including the orbiting mind control laser satellites!

On the other hand, they have provided the world bagels and pastrami, so their gift of a margo meltdown is just a gratutitous bonus.

Oh, almost forgot: I, for one, welcome our new Zionist overlords!

Jesus ... remind me to Never Piss Off Imre. For such a sweetheart of a guy, he is absolutely brutal.

"read over some of Mr. Robertson’s tasteful postings on the moral climate at News Ltd, in which we’re called "His Lie Master’s Apprentices"

I apologise for my tasteless, cheap and offensive Lenin comparison, Mr Salusinszky. I'll withdraw the core accusation when The Oz admits that running the Weekly Standard piece in question as (in my view) a very bad faith 'news' feature on the 'proven' (?) links between Saddam and al-Qaeda, was (at best) poor journalistic judgement from your editorial team.

But I am sorry for the cheap crack. I also admit that my Rupert-bashing diatribe was tedious, overblown, badly-written and unfair to most News journos (MK thought so too, btw). But I'm still waiting for the Oz to concede they got this 'links' issue badly wrong, like so many other invasion backers.

timbo:
i expect the "leftoid" bloggers are ignoring this because they don't read margo. her entire readership seems to be made up of clowns looking for an easy target for their stupid one-liners and abuse of exclamation marks.

And this, from the journalist who can read an entire conspiracy into a barbecue invitation list!

Why don't I get invited to any of the fun parties? Joining a conspiracy would be a small price to pay...

Crickey! There's that Lang bloke! The fun has begun!
Better throw another Margo onto the barbee!
Have a beer mate!

Hey Margo ... er, Miranda:

That comment was especially devoid of content, even for you. You managed to avoid saying anything at all about your ethical hypocrisy or lame anti-semitism, on which Saluszinsky has you dead to rights. But congratulations on getting all your apostrophes right this time out.

Now go wipe the spittle off of your keyboard, hon, before you short it out.

You'll have to excuse Miranda, Reg...I hear she was run over by a Vespa in front of her Italian homestead. Repeatedly.

[This comment refers to one that has been removed. -- The Management.]

Thanks Jack. Now I know how to say sorry to Aboriginals.

Still can't find the email exchange on the Web Diary, even in this post which supposedly contains 'every critical email I've since received'.
