PATHETIC ABC DISTORTS OR MERE LIES RE LEUNIG!!!

PATHETIC ABC DISTORTS: or mere lies!!

I am not sure which entity deserves the greater opprobrium: Media Watch - the ABC's so - called [socialst] media watchdog or David Marr that organ's then  editor / appendage.

These are the facts:

1. The original programme of 19/5/03 had David Marr feigning outrage that The Age's Jewish Editor Gawenda refused to publish Leunig's obscene cartoon.
2. Proudly Marr announced that the cartoon could be viewed on his Media Watch website. Marr's comments were astonishing and sick.
3. It seems the miserable cartoon has been taken down by the ABC. BELATEDLY!!
4. A close look at the below link will show it: I find no other record of it....other than rubenstein  blog.  I cut and past it below from this blog.
5. HOWEVER - THE ABC / MEDIA WATCH have made some odious comparisons with Bill Leak's harmless cartoon - see below Take a look »
6. This cryptic analysis is surely inadequate - but it will do!

I list a few links for interest, herein,

Geoff Seidner

George Bush has called the Prime Minister a man of steel and Mark Latham has called him a suckhole… The truth is always somewhere in between…He’s a suckhole of steel. - Leunig cartoon Take a look » Another Leunig that did not appear in the Age – after being pulled by editor in chief Michael Gawenda. Welcome to Media Watch. I’m David Marr. Leunig was not consulted before The Age put in its place this wistful 30 year old sketch from one of his books. Leunig told Media Watch he and Gawenda have since had words. I was quite annoyed and we had a fairly heated discussion but Michael saw my point and was apologetic. He offered to run it [the next day] but I said no, the world has changed. - Leunig statement to Media Watch Those who think joking about this sort of thing is ‘just not funny’, should remember that Bill Leak won a Walkley last year for his take on the same subject.
