Attention Fairfax — this is what happens when you overwork reporters, make sub-editors redundant and then funnel the savings into the hands of miscreants, charlatans and buffoons at the company’s “executive” level:
That’s only the first three paragraphs! And I’ve said nothing about the bowel-twistingly tortured “lightning” puns stinking up the lead.*
David Kirk, Ron Walker and all you other corrupt, myopic, semi-literate corporate-bot arselickers who have played a part in tearing the guts out of a once-fine media organisation (I’m looking at you, Fred Hilmer) — take a bow.
* Until now.

Not only is it riddled with typos but it’s appallingly written. There are at least two misplaced commas, an incomplete sentence and the word “favouritism” should not be used to signify the state of being favourite in a competitive event.

That’s just terrible. I’m actually saddened by this. I really, really want to respect Fairfax (and buy their products) but I can’t.

That’s worse than my blog!
I hope Fred Hilmer is enjoying the $3 million handshake he got for sucking Fairfax dry.
