Murdoch press: whole lotta ‘shining’ goin’ on

A sure indicator of second rate journalism is plagiarism, ‘line dancing,’ (following someone else’s lead) and repetitive headline expressions. In the past 24 hours a substantial amount of “shining” has emanated from the Murdoch stable of second rate journos, drunks, face-slapping slags and sycophants – time for a serious staff review Rupert, your Oz contingent is unravelling!

Kidman -- did her best

Yesterday we had Murdoch anointed PM, Kevin Rudd, “shining” in Bali – seems the only one who hallucinated a glint was Glenn ‘have another breakdown’ Milne; today’s ‘shining’ headline from the Murdoch press relates to our very own Giger girl, Nicole ‘forehead’ Kidman – in a silver suit no less – who was ‘shining in the rain’ according to one of Murdoch’s staff writers.

[Nothing personal Nicole but acting ability was never one of your strong points. Despite all the efforts of Murdoch’s media, the movie is a flop! However, Oz does not lack talented actors, our own Cate is a lioness of the screen – no actress on the planet holds a candle to Cate!]

What will we do with the mentally unstable Overington, pill-popping drunken Milne and a troop of lacklustre, servile copyists, Rupert? Running a media empire ain’t what it used to be – that damned internet!

Blanchett -- awesome talent
