13th December 2012 -Media and Social Media coverage of Justice Rares ruling
-
Given that Justice Rares basically said #AshbyGate was a plot to bring down the GovT why has no media outlet reported who is funding #Ashby?
-
Wonder if any of Abbott’s secret donors to his plan to destroy Hanson in the courts funded #AshbyGate?

@CraigEmersonMP Didn’t The Tele go hard page 1 with the Ashby writ? Their scoop? Hardly fair to readers to downplay the result.

.@margokingston1 Any further back in today’s Telegraph and the Brough-Ashby-LNP scandal would have made the sports section. #auspol
-
@CraigEmersonMP
In my opinion that is verging on corrupt and I would not consider the editor to be a journalist. -
@margokingston1 @CraigEmersonMP The headline ‘Court rejects Slipper case’ is wrong too. The court upheld Slipper’s case & rejected Ashby’s.
-
@CraigEmersonMP @margokingston1 If it bleeds it leads, if it’s a smear let’s hear, if it’s the unadorned truth, Struth Mate how uncouth!
-
If the Ashby/Slipper judgment had happened in the US, the Washington Post would be pouring all its investigative resources into it.

Hockey lied about meeting Brough. Pyne lied about meeting Ashby. Brough lied about meeting Ashby. Bishop lied about Blewitt. See a pattern?

@ABCNews24 Hi. I’m told @latikambourke interviewed Julie Bishop this morning, but I can’t find a transcript. Could you direct me to it?

“@go4hat: @margokingston1 twitter.com/tveedercom/stat…” Oh yes, here’s the transcript – I’m following @go4hat! No mention of #Asgbygate.
-
I am appalled & disturbed at failure of @latikambourke to mention Ashby saga in Bishop interview. But won’t lodge complaint about a journo.
-
-
I am and have always been a strong supporter of the ABC. Its complaints system is rigorous & fair. Any viewer can complain. I won’t.
-
OK, is it incontrovertible that there is no mention of Ashby story or response of the PM/ Opposition leader in today’s Tele and Herald Sun?

@margokingston1 There are quotes about it from Gillard, Abbott and Mike Kelly in the Tele’s “They Said It” section, but that looks like it

@PollBludger Thank you, William. You got the page? Can’t find it. Herald Sun, anyone? Advertiser? Courier Mail? Gold Coast Bulletin? etc?
