gossip about SAVVA
Mar 10^th, 2016 at 9:32am

http://www.dailytelegraph.com.au/news/opinion/andrew-bolt/vile-attack-on-peta-cr...

a funny thing happened on the way to the publishers.. Grin

Quote:

Credlin is the target of journalist Niki Savva, who obsessively attacked her as a columnist on The Australian and now savages her in her book, The Road to Ruin, purporting to explain why the Abbott government fell.

Quote:

But there’s more. Six years ago Savva wrote another book in which she confessed that “as a journalist I lied often, usually about my sources, but about other things, too”.

She admitted she had a rule that politicians were either sources or targets and that “I learned to slice and dice anyone who … spoke to others and not me”.

Quote:

They knew Savva was no friend. As Savva wrote in 2010, she was even then keeping a “loser’s file” of cuttings on Abbott, someone from whom she’d “recoiled in horror at the prospect of (being) leader”.

sounds like savva has a bigger reason for this book and having it released NOW..

at least we knew Mark Latham was a bitter soul...

this person pretends to be impartial...at least isnt that what a journo is meant to be?..

Savva has done no more or less than several newscorp opinion writers and shock jocks did and still do to people associated with the Gillard government.

You cheered then, acted as if their thoughts & OPINIONS were gospel.

Now apparently you want ethics in journalism, a clear distinction between fact & rumour/opinion.

Funny, when Gillard called for that we had Gestapo pictures all over a certain papers front page, & again Cods you cheered the loudest.

Sucks to be you hey?

I look forward to your proof of above Wink

You have been following this story closely I see, have you read the book?

I haven't, but I have seen reviews from people that have, Abbott's & Credlin's supposed sex life actually equals about 2 & a half sentences by their reports.

Which begs the question, are we so debased that ANY innuendo amuses us plebs & therefore is the only thing focused on.

Or is the rest of the book a damming tomb of incompetence that supporters in the media & others such as yourself here hope we are that shallow & never move past dicks & tits.

Savva's credentials are impeccable, a political correspondent for over 30 years employed & published in some of Australia's most respected journals.

In fact she was so respected by one Tony Abbott he often sent her texts, this is of course whilst she was being critical of the Gillard government.
However once those critical eyes turned to Tones in government suddenly she's a hack, rather than shrewd.

Quote:

"Abbott would text reasonably frequently to say, 'Good column, very shrewd observations'."

http://www.smh.com.au/federal-politics/political-news/niki-savva-how-journalist-...

The "informers" are named

Quote:

One senator, Connie Fierraventi-Wells, bravely approached Abbott and Ms Credlin over what many believed was a major issue for his public image, and for the government, Savva’s book reveals.
“Politics is about perceptions,” Savva quotes Ms Fierraventi-Wells as saying.
“Rightly or wrongly, the perception is that you are sleeping with your chief of staff. That’s the perception, and you need to deal with it.”
