  • Who is that at 0:35 ? Defago?

  • "Tfn Up Stemhead" LMAO! It seems I overestimated you. Stick with Eddie and the nine network, anything else would just confuse you and hurt your brain.

    I don't expect most athletes to deliver intelligent commentary - what I expect is that those selected by networks as commentators are screened for aptitude - the same reasonable expectation as I have for their professional commentators

    You keep banging on about Sydney. I assure you, the controversy had a life of its own independent of Sydney

  • From where Im sitting, this Homophobic rant against McGuire is coming out of the Sydney MediaIts not getting and airtime where Im sitting, and rightly so.

    Alisas Camplins comment after the Chinese girl crashed on her final jump was far more offensive compared to the non event stuff here with Eddie. Honestly, I laughed my head off with her comment, but has anyone found it hurtful, or have the Chineses community complained. No.

    Tfn Up Stemhead!!

  • Moral high ground?! LOL. I'll eat my hat if despising Eddie McGuire or finding higher quality in SBS or ABC to be reaching for the moral high ground.

    If its any of your concern, my outrage at McGuire had less to do with his with schoolboy oikery and more to do with his absolute ubiquity on chanell nine. If there were a choice for olympic viewing I'd surely take it.

    Of course I MUST be gay to find homophobic jokes on the international stage offensive, right? Grow up you ghastly little tit!

  • What are you doing posting on You tube, while trying to gain the moral ground by siding yourself with the "ABC n co"

    I think Eddie appeals to the Channel Nine audience. I found his calling of the aerials refreshingly raw, somewhat biased maybe, but he shows some passion. So what. The Homophobic slogan centred from the NSW Anti-discrimination board the equivalent to the Unrepresented Swill in Australian politics.Think you need to settle petal and just enjoy the parade on Saturday night.

  • What examples of far-left media bias do you put forward. And please be clear about what you mean by "far left". Are you talking about Stalin and Pol Pot or just any view that differs from the Howard era liberal party view?

    SBS and ABC are currently doing a fine job of tearing the labor party a new arse for their incompetence, lies, and bullshit, just like they rightly tore howard a new arse for his proto-fascist mandatory detention border policy and the tampa travesty.

  • @kingazzaman I dunno Kingazzaman. Originally my post was a simple ...yeah, I agree but for this I think he's doing ok... It was an "I agree but at the same time it's not so bad". You went with a youtube type reply with the Collingwood comment. I probably should have just left it at that. Also, are you serious about SBS and ABC? I have seen some pretty serious far left bias media coverage on both of those channels.

  • You can find quality journalism on nearly any non-commercial news source. BBC, ABC, SBS, PBS, Al Jazeera..... the list is long. The way to avoid shit journalism is stay away from Packer and Murdoch owned press.

    As for your point about him "painting a picture" for the clueless masses - THAT is exactly why Packer and Murdoch journalism suck major arse - because they treat their audiences like ignorant idiots.

    His "good natured jokes" were internationally reviled.

    OMG u were serious???!!

  • @kingazzaman I think the way that he is painting a basic picture for people who have no clue about any of the events is pretty good. He is catering it to the audience. His "homophobic" jokes were echoing the inside good natured jokes which originated by a few of the gay figure skaters.

    If you know of a good source for quality journalism in 2010 please point it out to me because I haven't seen any in the last 20 years at least.

  • Exactly how is he doing a fantastic job? His total lack of knowledge about winter sports? His homophobic schoolboy jokes?

    Either you're a collingwood fan or you don't know what quality journalism is.
