Turnbull berates The Australian for promoting climate denial
Failing to distinguish journalism from commentary and opinion is making News Corp a danger to our society.
News Corp’s blurring of news and views damaging society
Old NBN-ruiner Turnbull still out there pretending to be a Good Guy despite being categorically a Bad Guy when he actually had the power to do anything about... anything. Just sit down m8, you had your 5 minutes in the PM's chair you so desperately wanted. You want to make a difference, go donate your millions to environmental charities.
Yep, I’ll always remember him for fucking up the NBN
Pretty sure Turnbull got put in charge of a known bad policy entirely to discredit him and stop his future (now past) run for PM.
Yeah I don't buy in to that "omg their hands were tied! They LITERALLY couldn't do ANYTHING about it!" when it comes to people in positions of power. When there's people out there with no power still willing to risk everything to stand up for what's right it's pretty lightweight to forgive people backing down on major issues when they're risking nothing more than the potential for a few extra dollars in their pocket.
Maybe he should run for parliament, and if he becomes PM he could do something about it.
Oh, wait....
He did do something about it. But it's very easy to paper over that argument in an echo chamber.
Whats more is that he continues to do something about it in the private sector. This is after losing his prime ministership for trying to do something about it at the political level.
What have you done?
What have you done?
I'll ignore that whataboutism. We're talking about Turnbull aren't we, not me?

Well, let's not 'paper it over'. What did he do?

What has he done? What has he actually achieved from an environment perspective? Because as far as I can tell, he talks. Talks and talks. But achieves nothing. At least with the NBN he can claim to have successfully given millions of dollars to Telstra and Foxtel and created a mixed-technology NBN that cost more and took longer lol.
- Is new Australian prime minister Malcolm Turnbull already a climate change turncoat?
- Turnbull wants to change Australia’s environment act - here’s what we stand to lose
So, I'd be happy if you could point out what he achieved as PM for the environment or has achieved since. Besides talking.
Most centrist poli in years, got booted for not being extreme enough. Now we get what we wanted!
I do find it a bit rich for a journalist to complain about blurring the line between news and commentary while referring to herself as Dr.
It's technically correct as she has a PhD, but it's in media and communications, so it does make her an expert in the area she's commenting on, however representing herself that way without clarity in the short bio or article is misleading nonetheless.
I have no idea what you are trying to say here.
I'm saying that when someone refers to themselves as a doctor, we expect medical knowledge. Referring to oneself as a doctor with a PhD in communications is technically correct but misleading. The exact thing she's accusing.
Here it is in joke form, topically from a current shitpost
