LeeM Posted 21July, 2016 Author Report Share Posted 21July, 2016 I have tried to refrain from commenting on some social media posts, yet it got the better of me when some people have slammed the woman, yet they preach that everyone should have a voice?

Harvs11 Posted 22July, 2016 Report Share Posted 22July, 2016 Waleed Aly's response is the best I've seen. Roll to the bottom to watch the vid. http://www.smh.com.au/entertainment/tv-and-radio/sonia-kruger-is-not-evil-waleed-aly-defends-today-extra-host-calls-on-australians-to-stop-cycle-of-outrage-20160719-gq9ak7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coastr Posted 22July, 2016 Report Share Posted 22July, 2016 5 years ago I would have disagreed with her2 years ago I would have listened and thought about it.today I find myself nodding along.However, at no point would i want someone hounded out of their job for an opinion.i think in time Aly will be off the air and Kruger will still be there. The winds of opinion have changed IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
firstone Posted 22July, 2016 Report Share Posted 22July, 2016 Yes Harvs I've played it a few times this week.He's correct. Unfortunately hatred and intolerance are seen as strengths today.Practice intolerance and make more enemies. Not very clever. Oh, and Waleed for prime minister.

The winds of opinion have changed IMO.This is commercial tv for you. "safe" presenters who won't upset the viewers or more importantly those paying for the ad breaks . “Brands choose someone like Sonia Kruger because she doesn’t really stand for anything. She’s quite harmless, she’s nice and she’s non-offensive. But she’s gone totally out of safe territory,” -Dee MadiganI hope you're wrong about Kruger outlasting Aly. There are plenty of vacuous talking heads on tv and radio, Aly is a refreshing antidote. I would rather have opinions and analysis which actually make you think rather than the herd mentality of stoking fear which is prevalent in most current affairs and news. Yes Harvs I've played it a few times this week.He's correct. Unfortunately hatred and intolerance are seen as strengths today.Practice intolerance and make more enemies. Not very clever. Oh, and Trump for President. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
