- the Sydney Morning Herald’s deception
Quote:The dead soldier’s father, Ian MacKinney, then joins us. In the Fairfax papers he’s quoted saying Abbott’s comment was ‘’out of line’’, insensitive and made him ‘’feel sick’’.
However.....
He seems to have had second thoughts since. He now says that while the comment was insensitive, it was “general” and not directed at his son’s death, and Channel 7’s report has done nobody any good.

There seems to be more to the story than the media are 'currently' telling us, ie, how the soldiers are in fact disgusted with Channel 7, this and don't want them over there anymore, as advised on the 7PM project last night....whereby the father had sent in a letter to the panel and one of them read it out. Did this make MSM? No, it did not...why?
Because it wasn't consistent with Gillards agenda!
The fact is, the deceased soldiers father has mellowed since initial reports from channel 7 made him feel sick to the stomach, now that he's seen the 'actual' comments and footage for himself in their 'original' context, and now regards them as being 'general' remarks not directed towards his son, as channel 7 and Murdoch would still have us believe, not unlike how they had us believing 'sensationalist' things about the recent cyclone up north also.
However, the media continue focusing on the deceased soldiers fathers initial reaction, whereby he was more sickened by channel 7's own edit, more than anything else now it seems.
Channel 7 need to pull their heads in, for if they aren't terrifying the public and telling them to prepare for an apocalyptic type natural disaster, they are distressing the grieving parents of our fallen soldiers with half truths, with a view to offending those who give so much of themselves to serve our country.
Have channel 7 and others no sense of social responsibility what so ever?
Tony Abbott will be fine, it will take much more than this to break his balls.
He has truth on his side afterall.
Combine this with the NBN and Abbott knows he is goign to have to 'aquiesce' I believe is the word of the year!
