PURE POISON, THE NUMBERS

Pure Poison's stated mission:
Exposing intellectual dishonesty in the mainstream media, across the political spectrum. We’re looking at you, Bolt, Blair, Marr, Akerman, Albrechtsen, and whoever else wishes to stray onto the path of fatuous opinion.
The numbers are interesting. In the 53 days through 11 May, the PP boyz lodged 189 posts directed at "fatuous opinion" expressed by individuals. Of these, 96 are Bolt posts with 30 for Blair (this includes two Blair posts removed after publication). The remaining 63 posts are spread over 28 individuals, with seven on Janet Albrechtsen. So according to the PP boyz 67% of Australia's mainstream fatuous opinion is generated by Bolt and Blair, with Bolt accounting for 51% all by himself. Thus the remaining 28 "whoever elses" produce only 33% of Australia's fatuous opinion.

Looked at another way, the PP boyz average 1.8 Bolt posts a day, close to Jeremy's singlehanded 1.88 post average. As Roy and HG might put it, "too much Bolt is never enough", apparently.

Jeremy would serve his passion better if he was to disrect his lust at Marr - surely?

I cannot turn on the TV news these days without getting a clip of Joe Hockey making some statement or other. Not that I mind, of course. He was always good value when he was a regular on Sunrise.

Crikey must regret ever offering these guys a gig. I wonder if Jeremy is going to get the Ant R treatment from Crikey now? You know: the one where he gets to claim online he is still a Crikey blogger but where he never gets around to posting anything?

And are they so stupid that they don't know that the original post is still available at the link someone put above? Or that some one might have took pictures like at 555-anon's comment above?Link here: Jeremy Sear's original postScrenshots here (in case the feed at BT changes to the revised version): Jeremy Sear Part One and Jeremy Sear Part Two.
