Mark Latham a man who smashed the ALP and press cameras has been employed to?
Well what was his job?
Was it to make headlines or hopefully to damage the ALP.
Mark at best was one of Labors biggest mistakes, maybe once he was a true believer, in him self, but he never made it past the front door as a leader.
Driven by bitterness he seems intent on revenge.
What was nine thinking?
Is our media out of control Latham and a few left overs from his train wreck/sabotage of the ALP should fade away.
Fitzgibbons and Crean for starters.

Channel nine are getting flogged by channel seven and are desperate. Anything for a headline.

Many a true word spoken in spite.

To be fair they should also employ Fraser.

Dear Belly,

News programs tend to feature the visually
exciting or emotionally moving stories,
as well as controversial ones that draw
large viewing audiences - even if this means
ommitting issues that are more sober but
perhaps significant also. Latham, without
doubt is controversial, and as Channel nine
competes with Channel 7 in a big way,
Latham is Nine's guaranteed "draw card,"
during this election "newsfest."

Perhaps Channel 7 should bring in Malcolm
Fraser to report on Tony Abbott?

Regardless the whole thing is a disgrace, a new low in Australian TV election coverage.

And whilst that might be a explanation for the behaviour of Channel 9 benk.
I don't know if it's an excuse.

More concerning would be, if there were some "method in this madness"
on the part of Channel 9 ?.

If so, could this be interpreted, as an attempt to influence
the outcome of an election ?. I worry about the motives here.

Anybody else uncomfortable with this?.

Do you really think labors ability to pick leaders has improved?

It appears they have got worse, not better since then.

They should be very pleased with the punters, who refused to be silly enough to elect Latham. It saved them the hassle of dumping hid during his first term. Pity they didn't do the same for them with Rudd.

I wonder if they will be so kind with little Julie. It will be a greater pity if they elect her, & show that in leader selection, labor is getting worse.
