When I was running a small anti-racist website 1+ year ago Ari was one of the few people to tell us he was a fan of our work.<BR/><BR/>So I definately don't have anything in particular against Ari. However, you're seriously off the mark with this conflict of interest shit.<BR/><BR/>Pick up your copy of Monday's Age Metro section again - the one with Marieke on the front - turn it over and read the review of Last Man Standing on the back. Not very positive, is it? In fact, for the most part, he shitcans it. No sign of cosy commercial relationships there.<BR/><BR/>Returning to my original point in my first comment: the profile was simply the best way to promote the first new Australian television drama this year to a thinking audience. Any suggestions of shifty commercial conflicts of interest should be directed at Ch.7's relationship with the Age, not Marieke's. I think they buy advertising space in the paper, don't they? Go and demand that this be declared at the end of every article and review. Go on. But the negative review kind of undermines that argument anyway.<BR/><BR/>Urr, whatever...Buck Fuddhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08710101471523551621noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7004769.post-1118180301290258402005-06-08T07:38:00.000+10:002005-06-08T07:38:00.000+10:00Ari - there's a reason why this post has received ...Ari - there's a reason why this post has received more comments than your other - and, I might add, more interesting - recent posts, such as the ones from North Korea (which were fascinating).<BR/><BR/>And that's because you posted a link in Ms Fits' comments leading to a post in which you told her that her words were like turds. What did you expect? Ms Fits has a very popular blog, and has built up a large following, as you know. Not because of who she is in real life, but because of her writing. Obviously trolling for a response in her comments is going to get people riled up.<BR/><BR/>Pity, because I think most of the people who've jumped all over you for this would actually find your blog interesting if they went through the archives.Jeremyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06192828679762836954noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7004769.post-1118146352543017372005-06-07T22:12:00.000+10:002005-06-07T22:12:00.000+10:00The only thing you deconstruct, thomasr, is logic ...The only thing you deconstruct, thomasr, is logic and truth.
