not making nice is dangerous and costly. Hell hath no fury like a powerful male defending male power scorned etc etc theshot.net.au/general-news/u…
one of the worst things about the Canberra press gallery is their collective and complete disinterest in developing even a basic level of feminist literacy.
I mean promoting sympathy and underdog feels for incumbent tory power is just revolting. But even the ones who try and critique prime stuntclown invariably reproduce orthodox patriarchal and colonial frames and narratives in their work.
leave aside for a moment the ‘just doing their job m’am’ cop-out of political journalism, to allow for *some* coverage of his creepy stuntery, and get an earful of the poor Scott framing. Tough week? He has never had one of those in his life.
to clarify, I am ruminating on how different Ronni’s piece in The Shot reads to the shallow, one-dimensional and overpaid comment published by corporate media. There are many differences, including feminist literacy and framing. Thats all I’m saying.
