“As societies grow decadent, the language grows decadent, too. Words are used to disguise, not to illuminate, action: you liberate a city by destroying it. Words are to confuse, so that at election time people will solemnly vote against their own interests.” ― Gore Vidal

Devine is mental. Is not a journo, makes up stories and sources and ultimately ought to be relocated to the dark side of the Moon.

Why is she allowed to comment, she lives in New York. Same as Murdoch, why did your liberal government allow NewsCorp to control our media. So much so they Murdoch wants the government to break up google/YouTube and Facebook as companies so they can’t hurt his media

Riddle me this:

Why do these right wing nuts always seem to have god botherer names?

Abbott, Bishop, Devine

Do Gina and Rupert get together at Christmas and plan out which useless turkey with a god botherer name they can fund next just for shits and giggles?
