Because it isn't the actual news. Opinions are not facts, someone should sue this muppet
I work for myself and I work from home so I get a lot of time to listen to talkback, Barrett adores Hawthorn.
He reports facts and then puts his opinion on them. It is his job. People think he is a flog because they can't take negative press about their footy club.
This is a thread for news, and 90% of the news comes in whispers and tweets from Barrett and his colleagues. They are quoted and flooded with liekes when they tweet some news that makes us smile, but the same people will then suggest
they should be sued if they dare be critical or negative.
Your trade period would be a hell of a lot more boring if they weren't investigating every little skerret of scuttlebutt.
