This is what I’ve been missing all these years not watching tabloid tv?

Her accent is aweful! I really hope my accent isn’t so harsh.

They were taken out of context! Naomi is an angel and genuinely takes interest in the people’s stories and the audiences. I promise!
Mmmmm, I think there’s something in that for all of us.
To my giant make up van!
Classic! Somehow she actually seems to have a personality now…
wpd, I think Eddie McGuire would tell you that the correct term is “boned”.
I just saw Mr Crikey himself get wrestled by Glen Milne on stage and in front of cameras. Made for good viewing. I wonder how long it will be until it’s on YOUTUBE.

Wow, I wonder what that was all about.
The Advantages of WA being 3 hours (soon to go back to 2 cause of DST)behind the east
SBS coverage starts in 22. minutes, so I’ll keep an eye out and see if it got edited out
Wow, I want to see what they say about all this in The Oz and the Tele!
More of that sort of thing!
Here is the article from The Oz (listed as “Breaking News”

HIGH-profile News Ltd columnist Glenn Milne has taken an impromptu public swipe at crikey.com.au founder and internet journalist Stephen Mayne at the nation’s media awards.
Milne, a political columnist for The Sunday Telegraph , marched onstage as Mr Mayne was presenting the Photographic Essay award, yelling that he was a “disgrace� as he dealt Mr Mayne a hefty shove off the stage.
“You are an absolute disgrace,â€? an outraged Mr Milne shouted, as an audience of the nation’s media elite erupted into laughter.
Berating Mr Mayne about making unsubstantiated claims on the popular media critique website crikey.com.au, Milne had to be restrained by security guards and escorted offstage.
“Thanks buddy, thank you,� Mr Mayne replied, provoking a fresh charge from the tuxedoed Milne.
And this from Mayne:
Not to be upstaged, the uninjured Mr Mayne dusted himself off and paid tribute to his detractor, saying “Ladies and Gentlemen, I have an announcement to make on behalf of (News Ltd owner) Rupert Murdoch.�
“That is the former Sunday Telegraph political correspondent Glenn Milne, sponsored by Fosters.�
Heh.
Saw it on sbs.
Vintage.
Demands to be on YouTube - am just about to put up a post about it.

Taking to heart my favourite line from the latest “keep yourself nice” school principal lecture here - “although we recognise the anarchic nature of many comments threads” - I would just to say that Chrissie Hynde’s last album “Loose Screw” is primo. Hey voice has aged like good wine, the song selection is very thoughtfully eclectic and her very good backing band recognises and supports her like the unique diva she is.

Naomi will be missed like, err, missing something that one doesn’t miss.
Mmmmm, head turn towards camera….that’s all from me folks.
Bugger off, Naomi.
“Somehow she actually seems to have a personality now…”
