At Every Turn

Testing, testing…

which… she won’t think applies to her.
You do have to wonder how Laurie reconciles the bold statement tweeted above with… well, pretty much anything she’s ever written. For instance, her insistence that “it is not that hard to pay people a decent wage” because it doesn’t matter whether your business is competitive or not. Or that using heavy metal objects to smash the windows of random strangers – in order to terrify the people inside – somehow isn’t violence. Or her claim that “the planet is boiling” and “we have five years until catastrophic climate change becomes a foregone conclusion.” Or her belief that football is merely “organised sadism” and “violently excludes more than half the people.” And so on, and so forth.

“It’s like going commando.”
I couldn’t possibly comment, but I am so glad those blurred little figures aren’t there. And after the GenElec we might have fewer of them in parliament, too.

This one, incidentally, was also considered. Because when reading Ms Penny’s hyperbolical tirades, fairness and accuracy are the very first things that leap to mind.

And for some reason this one here reminded me of Laurie’s rather heated exchange with David Starkey, whom she attempted to slander. Before it all went horribly wrong.

Tell the stories that matter to you.
This is all well and good if you live in Ms Penny’s extremely rarified world where journalism amounts to writing delirious screeds about going on left wing demos, feminism and privilege checking.
But it’s not such great #AdviceforYoungJournalists who, back on planet earth, count it as a good day if they get home before 9pm, haven’t been sent out to doorstep someone on a god forsaken sink estate or had to spend 45 minutes listening to the ” great story” the wild-eyed care in the community case who has wandered into reception wants to tell the world.

Can someone put a towel on that bar stool?

Any hint of laughter will trigger the alarm.
Laughter? Oh, no, no, no. Really.
One does nearly nonstop giggling.

There is no such thing as ‘objective’ journalism. Strive instead for fairness and accuracy and to bring your readers into the fold (at a pretty cost). You will know those suckersthe enlightened by the silent nods you get on the subway.

If you read the comments there’s a risk people will explain why you’re wrong.
Ah yes, but those people will be bad people and so you needn’t listen to anything they say, even factual corrections. Their facts will be bad facts.

Without Captcha active, I have a strong desire to post about how my Mother makes $2,000 a day working from her home computer. WHO CAN STOP ME?!

Someone tell dicentra that Steve 2: Steveageddon is back in town.

@ heralder, I am intrigued with how your mother makes so much money. I assume I to my involves 10-15 mins if owe a day as well? If so I will send you my address, contact details, bank details and credit card so that I too can earn that kind of money. If you want any more info such as a DNA sample just let me know.
As for Laurie every time she pops up on the internet a link to starkey reducing her to incomprehensible gibberish should be posted.

Speaking of LP, questioning assumptions, and striving for accuracy:

Anyway… actually good advice from darling Penny. If only it wasn’t so, well… ironic coming from her 😛 .
