so Scott Morrison has chosen argumentum ad passiones for today’s fallacious blithering has he.
by the way appeals to emotion fallacies often signal campaigning. Military, advertising, political, wherever there is a campaign there are appeals to emotion. #CovidCampaigning
that description of two stupendously aggressive misogynist bullies conjuring tears for the noble cause of [checks notes] undermining Labor state Premiers public health policy settings is a wondrous thing to behold.
as is the marvel of press gallery journalists swaying along with that hero/victim pendulum Morrison and his media team feed them each day.
he is never not lying. The idea that the Prime Minister would not take his daily talking point to a pig chauvinist, to be amplified all day by every politics journalist on the beat, like they do every single time he talks at the Sydney home of racist radio, is ludicrous.
anyway high fives all round again at Morrison comms HQ as political journalism obediently makes the days news cycle about that one hardship story the prime minister weaponised to bully a woman/attack a Labor premier.
not to drift out of my lane or anything but also today has been a text book case study in white males leveraging, promoting and rewarding - and somehow simultaneously hijacking - a political permutation of white women tears.
it cracks me up that Liberal Party politicians call this disingenuous troll the smartest bloke in the [Liberal Party] room.

or maybe straightforward political comms strategy really is beyond his intellect who knows.
PvO and phuckout phil kicking the can down the road, along with the rest of the media ‘lites, in concert with Liberal Party backbenchers. We might even get another 24-hour cycle of one specific tragedy among thousands, given how enthusiastically the minions amplified this one.
such an obliging chap. Today, as the coalition government of gold standard Gladys implodes in full public view, a poll bought and paid for by murdoch to lie about Victorian voters is front and centre for the professor.
correction: bought and paid for by the Liberal Party and given to the murdoch press. You know like the $800 million+ “tax rebate” they gave him and the tens of millions of our dollars they give him for his failing media outlets.
