I have no idea what Warren means in regard to Bill Shorten having a brassiere. But Warren is a full-blown right-wing cartoonist. He publishes in the right-wing Daily Telegraph — an ultra right-wing paper designed for the plebs who think the paper represents the workers. The DT is a clever con of course. Everything in it is not so much designed to give you a hearty meat pie of news but a large paperbag of a nasty teeny soggy pastry. Warren included.

Here Gus has added the necessary "Emperor's new clothes" to balance the cartoon.

Seymour Hersh erases public's role on Syria

I have been slightly disturbed by Paul Craig Roberts comments. Not that I don't value his inside information and judgement but he has made a few "wild claims" in the recent past, including conspiracy about 9/11. On closer analysis, his claims make sense and are very disturbingly on par with what we spruik here on this site — or even what we could spruik, beyond the ridiculously conspiratorial. 

Fairfax Media staff will hold stop-work meetings after up to 30 journalists were made forcibly redundant.

Images from Media Watch ABC TV... Saved me some time at making up a full toon... Actually one could not do ANY better at deriding, lampooning, satirising, debasing, stupidising the Daily Telegraph than the DAILY TELEGRAPH ITSELF. 

Once more, the merde-och press attacks Labor for thinking ahead. You NEED a better NBN than what Malcolm is delivering with his mixed up bag of nineteenth century technology, wires pre-world war two, and a bit of optic fibre. Labor still wants you to have the best and it's AFFORDABLE. But Murdoch and his troops don't want you to have it because it's likely to be BETTER than his cable TV... So the exclusive is now about "budget blow", as if Malcolm had not blown the budget on trying to fix something that won't work well and will cost three times as much. Don't vote for Malcolm if you want a BETTER NBN.
