  • Hard News: The Righteous Humour, in reply to Matthew Littlewood,

    Yeah, that Daily Show episode was great, but has anyone else noticed how different Stewart’s tone has been towards Fox over the last few years

    yeah I did on page one along with the maddow link…what do people have me blocked or something?

  • Hard News: The Righteous Humour,

    The disbelief from fox about the numbers was interesting.

    They seemed to try and apply the global warming style spin around polls. That is to say it doesn't matter what the science says (ie Silver and co) as long as we parrot to each other what we think is real then it will be real.

    Unlike global warming which is complicated and the effects unclear this kind of science (ie math) was pretty simple and the effects came quickly.

    From a self interest point of view it would be great if the GOP moved to the right and became unelectable but a great piece by Rachel Maddow here: http://huff.to/YQqByR

    reminds us that if both parties believe in facts and debate good ideas then everyone wins.

  • Hard News: The Righteous Humour,

    it was certainly one for the ages..It's interesting as the election season dragged on you could see the change from Jon Stewart...he was so over the fox news talking heads he became genuinely angry to go along with funny.

    I wonder if this will continue or he will settle back in to cynical... plague on both your houses deal that he was doing pre election

    thanks for that Paul. This shows just how hard it is for Romney to win. He as to basically wipe the board with the toss up states.

  • Hard News: Special Sources,

    Wow Dot com super power of making shit stick to everyone else is still at full strength..


    Claire 'everyone else but me' Trivett does the forth estate no favours by demanding they be allowed to keep their sources secret while gleefully printing them when they aren't their own.

    At least real estate agents and used car salesmen have consequence for this unethical crap

  • OnPoint: MSD's Leaky Servers,

    I'm pretty sure I know why this happened... Some bright spark decided because people had to print this CVs they had to be on the network.

    Now why that data wasn't locked down tighter than the safe at the nakatomi plaza is anyones guess. I expect this will be big news thanks to ACC

    ...yippie kaiay mother fucker

    2) how nice for you that you can choose not to get worked up by sexism.

    And that's where I clock off. I'm trying to have a polite discussion and I don't think that's fair. Enjoy the rest of the discussion with out me

  • Field Theory: Man Moments,

    Good points the men are named because they work there and it would have been cool to have a women who works there in a suit doing the I rock this shit too vibe

    Also the copy is a bit over the top I agree.
    I guess I'm having trouble getting worked up by this on the beer/ sexism scale this is pretty mild to what tui et al serves up every week and I don't see PA posts on them.

    I wonder how much of the anger is because we found them out as being just like every other beer company

  • Field Theory: Man Moments,

    I don't drink moa often either I find the bottle size annoying and expensive so it's not for me. Sorry I'm. Not familiar with their other advertising

    @emma I think one photo does alienate women and its a pity it's there because I think you can make the case that it colours the rest of the spreads
