@vampiress @stilgherrian I assume the liberal party has earned its bonus payments.

@vampiress It’s not by a huge margin, and I suspect there’s a lot of overlap since most people wouldn’t be looking at either of them. Still, yes, lotsa fun.

@vampiress I have quite a list of theories I’d like to test.

@vampiress no utopia, it would cause fragmentation of news delivery, the Achilles of bad actors . It may also remove the degree of legitimacy MSM gives them. That would be a good thing.

@vampiress @stilgherrian I believe the dude who ran News Corp papers and the Daily Mail AU was recently appointed as executive editor of SMH/TheAge. No word yet on the new plagiarism KPIs at NineFax mastheads.

@stilgherrian @daedalus @vampiress This discovery fills me with mirth and joy.

@NewtonMark @daedalus @vampiress They’re reportedly paying him $500k a year too. That’s not totally confirmed, but that’s generally what Fox board members are paid. Sweet gig.

@vampiress @NewtonMark @daedalus I’ve been on the board of a couple of non-profit in a previous life. I did well, I think.
