Now there's a way to win friends and influence people: before you even start saying why you have taken against some people, you call them “knuckle – draggers”. Let's people know how fair and balanced your are!

King doesn't say that the entire 7 network is staffed by “knuckle-draggers”; he just refers to “Adelaide knuckle-draggers”, who act “more like the Stasi”! Everything is worse in Adelaide!

All of this abuse is supposedly in defence of an Adelaide TV presenter, a sweet faced young lady, 27 years of age, but looking more like 15, whom, I sure, was a great source of pride to her parents and family each time she appeared on the screen before being dumped. Such a 'cutie' was she, that whoever fired who must be knuckle-draggers. And, true to form for the likes of Malcolm King, they are “under educated”. Good old cultural Marxism at its best.

The problem with Amy is that she couldn't take a joke. She found the joke offensive. She made an official complaint, which is what people of a certain age and gender do these days. Can't blame them, it's the way they've been drilled by the feminists and schools. She got the sack, and the 'dreadful, white male', Lohse, got away with a maybe-tasteless joke. Amy has 'guts', but no job. She lives in the same real world as the rest of us.

As far as I'm aware Malcolm King has no more insight into this incident than the general public. Given the public's contempt for the media and its employees, who really cares?

This woman needs to get over herself, & Malcolm King needs to wait until he has something worth writing about, before he next wanders up to his keyboard.

If Ms Taeuber is not bright enough to realise this clumsy approach by Rodney Lohse, & was an expression of his interest in her, she is too dumb to be working in a news room, hot bed of stupidity that they are. If she if not adult enough to deal with it in a mature way, she should retrain as a childe care worker.

Reporting the news used to require some maturity, & common sense. Even today when it appears to require long blond straight hair, with a feminist/left attitude & boobs, this one obviously was just too incompetent to make the grade.

Lucky Adelaide. It has been spared a little of the inane garbage these people like Amy are producing.

Why do you bother Malcolm?

Nobody at seven gives a rats about Amy or her job or prospects!? Just theirs and sweeping all this excrement under a very big and bulging carpet?

Moreover, comment on this postage stamp sized site isn't going to change anything! Even though the editor in chief Graham Young, maybe the only remaining Editor in Australia, with an inherent sense of decency and a fair go ethos in the workplace!?

It's a numbers game!

And then relies on viewer outrage/interest and social media/friends and relatives, of friends and relatives, of friends and relatives! To get involved/force change, spread the message and get involved as activists for change, from this tiny aorn of a site!

And required if ever it is to grow into a mighty, if allegorical oak of a, social media site!

Saying or doing nothing ever achieved anything, except apathy!

If you want change we can all believe in, get involved and let your fingers do the walking! And ask only that the recipients do likewise!

Perhaps next time you're sitting on the dunny or passing a motion?
Or a brick? Oh the pain, the pain. This, passing strange, stuff is just crap. Never had it so rough! Oops, oops, mummy!

It's not just Wiki that leaks?

Socially responsible/positive leaking? What will they think of next?
Alan B.

So the young woman 'can not take a joke' and ought to have known it was an expression of interest in her?

Just how much of this type of stupidity is anybody meant to put up with? If a joke is meant to be funny, just how was this idiots comment funny?

She was fired and the idiot still has a job? Isn't there an organisation that challenges those type of decisions in court?

there certainly ought to be!

The claim: "It's important to take a look and see just how far feminism has come since the days of Betty Friedan, Gloria Steinem and Germaine Greer."

Not on the basis of this Adelaide case.

Regrettably this is a rather laborious article attempting to magnify the obscure into some generalised problem.
