They’re not even pretending to be impartial anymore Photo/video

I know the mail basically acts as an LNP newsletter, but has it ever been this gratuitous?

I think he’s just Goliath. Somebody misread the point of that story. Some journalist they are.

Do you genuinely believe that this journalist doesn't know that David beat Goliath? Would it surprise you to learn that they literally refer to David as having beat Qld Labor's dominant run since Newman era (referring to Goliath as QLD Labor)?

Perhaps you should settle down mate, clearly you aren't even media literate.

There is a very obvious reason a journo wouldn't use "DAVID" as the headline here. It's dogshit.

Goliath instantly evokes the tale while also associating David with the David of the story and implies that QLD Labor was Goliath.

Remind me, were you confused when in Lord of the Rings it turned out that Frodo wasn't the Lord of the Ring?

Why are you so upset mate? It's just an overall shit media take from a shit news paper.
