Hard News: Dirty Politics, in reply to Matthew Littlewood,
David Fisher has already picked up on the Katherine Rich/Carrick Graham angle,
"one of these things is not like the other..."
(also, really nasty shots of Slater and Collins. Someone at the Harald is pissed off) -

From the “really didn’t see that coming” files, Rob Gilchrist On Nicky Hager:
Woh! That IS a surprise. Comments are interesting too, though I also tend to choke on the lauded 'honesty and integrity" attributed to Gilchrist.

My not professional opinion, is that Graham McCready and Cameron slater are more or less the same beast.
I'd dispute that. McCready seems to actually believe in accountability, he's just a little misguided in how to get it. Slater, I feel, doesn't believe in anything, except his tribe winning.

Are journalists afraid?
Probably. With the revelations in the book, who knows what Slater has on them?

For Farrar and co, it’s not wars, it’s just serving the local elite. Being at the coal face and letting the real movers and shakers keep their hands clean, and if people get hurt, well, that’s just sad for them isn’t it.
Well said, that grass!

I wonder what will happen to ipredict now that it has been shown up as just another tool for manipulation of the message?
It was pretty obvious it was being gamed right from the get go. I've used it as a qualifier to discount predictions that mention it.

Can we leave the psychiatry to professionals please? As someone who does have an at times debilitating mental illness, I find the jokes rather less than funny.
Exactly. I have that diagnosis myself, and the pills to prove it. It's still not an excuse to behave like a complete arsehole. That's on him. When you're chronically ill, you put in place mechanisms to cope with it, if you are unable to monitor yourself. If you don't, don't expect any sympathy from me.

Not that it means much, but I've just unfriended Farrar on Facebook and Twitter. Being able to keep an eye on what he's up to is no longer worth inflating his "friends" numbers. Not that he'll care, but it makes me feel marginally better.
