it's all the fault of the MEDIA
Cartexchange et al ...
So "it's all the fault of the media" ... and the "media has outdone itself this time" ... and worse - "the media is dominated by men, who were just there for a freebie and a perve ..."
All I can say is ... turn into Donkeys... and get onto yourselves ....
The media is damned if it does -- and damned if it doesn't.
You b*tch about Indonesia, its system and the oppression there .. well, hello ...we have a free press, a free media in this country - and you should be damned well glad ...
Yep sure, there are those at the lower end (read tabloid) of the media who sensationalise ... but you know who they are - so don't watch, read or listen to them, if you want fair, balanced reports.
I suspect you - and your union use the media when it's convenient to get your message across ...
And please don't anyone start bleating about how those in the aviation industry are treated by journalists (please see my posting "media request").
Remember ... don't shoot the messenger ...
Sorry... but you just can't have it both ways ...
