History has been made in the EZFKA state of Victoria after a mainstream media journalist asked a question that was critical of Daniel Andrews, challenging the Premier’s increasingly unhinged, authoritarian behaviour.
Tim Stevenson, from The Daily EZFKA, asked Andrews why medical segregation was now being made legal and not an egregious breach of human rights. The Premier was lost for words and flew into a rage, prompting Stevenson’s dismissal from the conference.
“Everyone in the room was shocked, they’d been asking Dorothy Dixers and leading questions for months,” Stevenson said.
“I was sick of the press conference being essentially a two-hour advertorial for tyrannical bullshit and trampling on human rights and now I’m not welcome. Oh well, fuck him.”
Stevenson has hired extra security for his house and has been banned from all future press conferences.
Leefo wants to turn the screws harder:
Tell me where I can get the data and I’ll post it. As far as I know, it doesn’t exist.
Hard to believe that you won’t re-subscribe until I do that.
I’m thinking that now’s the time to lock comments to subscribers only. With publishers now liable for comments, now seems like the time.
and
Fair enough. Point noted. But we also have to balance risks of getting sued for defamatory comments. Paying subscribers have ‘skin in the game’. Non-payers don’t. We don’t have time to moderate comments properly, so it’s a real worry for us.
Lot of words to say “no one subscribes because the site is dead”
they killed it by banning all the people and making browsing it shithouse. it makes me sad to see it bc they did have some good analysis on there. lethal leith in particular is a pretty straightforward pundit with good analysis.
It’s all DLS. Cunt has sand in his vagina permanently.
I guess they’re worried about the prospects of defamation charges in the comments, although it does seem like a copout.

Given the size of the mb readership i think this is their get out of jail free card,
Hehe. Writing “Scott Morrison is a criminal” on MB is approximately like writing “Scott Morrison is a criminal” in your diary before you go to bed.
😅
Odd worrying about defamation from comments when DLS spends his time belittling anyone who disagrees with him. Only KRudd has really threatened them with defamation or that is what has been made out.
No one else cares. Only KRudd measures his social enough to track/care what MB says.
This says more about how little people think of Rudd, than how much people think of MB.
If I had a gun I’d shoot him, guess I will just have to use my bare hands.. where are you Daniel, we need to meet?
