The Age: Schembri is at it again
Those of us with longer memories know that he's got form for this variety of tiresome crap.
Although with the recent shakeup in Fairfax, why do they retain this twits services over other quality journos?

He hates recycled jokes, though ironically his piece is filled with it... Go figure!

I think (hope) that many readers will see that piece for what it is. Much of it shows him as a moron, a troglodyte, and/or a remarkably bad grasp of humour. (Eg: the A-K vs L-Z 'hate' is evidence of all three). He, and his, are out there... but I think many people are starting to turn away from that.

Yeah, their letters page has gone rather dodgy. It's more like reading a mirror of the Hun's 'Have Your Say' with no quality control and the content published more for shit & giggles over any intelligent debate. Personally I don't particularly care whether the tendency is a left or right bias, it's more where the moral compass is pointing. Example was some of the letters published about the recent fatality in Swanston which put the blame on the cyclist. It was lazy stuff indeed with no respect towards anyone except pushing a rather tired & shrill agenda.

I guess fairfax never got it that Jim Schembri is a waste of space on their pages… how they tolerate the drivel, it’s not funny, not insightful, not in anyway entertaining, but it does encourage bogans to act violently towards peaceful citizens in public places… hopefully his latest rant will not result in a cyclist being injured by one of Schembri’s misguided devotees who don’t buy the Age anyway, (they just steal them from newsstands…) And what is disturbing, he is a childrens books author... and they are castigating Henson for art when this character gets a free run!
So when Schembri is up on a charge of inciting a vicious attack… might the rAGE have a scoop with the inside interview ...Is that why they keep him around?…can’t think of any other reason, surely they would have an ad from a paying customer to fill the space they pay him to occupy…maybe the rAGE business model needs re-visiting by management. The rant is from a dangerous wimpy voice the rAGE might chose to dis-associate with unless of course it has an agenda of creating it's own headlines by design, now that would be a scoop for them
