Clementine Ford

[Scallop Industry Thug]

Only survived as a writer due to media Monopoly

She's survived because man babies looking to get emotional click on her articles, generating ad revenue for Fairfax.

If we had media diversity we wouldn't be discussing her.

Why not?

 

[Thegibbsgamble]

Why not?

Media diveristy demands ethics

 

[MaddAdam]

Facism is the merger of state and corperate power.

The similarities continue

Nobody forces you to read her stuff.

What she writes bores and shits me in equal measure, so I don't read it.

But Goebbels? Fascism?

Give it a spell.

 

[Thegibbsgamble]

Nobody forces you to read her stuff.

The irony.

No one forces you to read my stuff but you felt you had to defend her.

I must of been to close to home for you

You made one of the dopier comparisons seen on BF.

That's a clear marking post of your limitations and understanding of the times we are in. It's a reflection of you and not a critique of moi

Fwiw Bolt and her are two peas in same pod. Neither have any shame in what they twist to push an agenda thier paid to promote

Properganda in every sense of the word.

Bolt is a man so he's like even close to Goebells.

She's getting paid to do what she loves, she's got a happy young family ...

Sad is my description, I don't particularly care how she feels about her life tbh

I find it hard to believe that someone full of as much vitriol as Ford has could be actually living a happy existence.

As I said above, the vast majority of what she writes bores and/or shits me.

I think her getting a bloke sacked for his online comments is pathetic.

She is ... and I'm sure you're a great scholar of Australian feminist thought over the journey ... the modern day incarnation of "God's Police".

At the same time she makes a healthy living off it, she's got a family and seems happy enough.

You fail to realise that you being outraged like this is exactly what she thrives on. Your outrage is her product.

 

[kickazz]

Your outrage is her product.

Nailed it.

And she's not the only one peddling outrage, seems to be quite the in demand commodity nowadays.

 

[Gough]

She's also skilled in that she can take a reasonably complex issue and dumb it down into a simple black or white issue. My uncle was for many years farming editor of the Western Mail and he always had a grudging admiration for the tabloid journos and their ability to do that.

Lol Clem Ford being compared to Goebbels

I think it's time to move this thread to the trash pile (by which i mean SRP)

 

[StingBitten]

For what it’s worth - I work with a lot of social worker leftie women and none of them like Clementine Ford.

Why? Because they live and work in the real world.

"Trollumists"

Everything is about feels not facts these days.

Lol, yeah same.

Well this thread took a turn.

Here's me thinking she's a bit of a slag who writes a shit column and argues with idiots on the internet. Nek minit, Goebbels.

Lol,Ford is neither a journalist nor a presenter.

 

[Papa G]

When Clem was in Adelaide she wrote puff pieces for the Sunday Mail's TV Liftout. She's clearly adaptable.

She's a "social commentator" isn't she?
