In what is perhaps the most appalling example of media bias so far in this election campaign, the appalling right wing peenie wavers at the Daily Telegraph have depicted our Julia as an old biddy.

It's as sexist as it is ageist.

And these reactionaries have the gall to say that the ABC tilts to the left!

Fellow travellers, why am I not surprised that the appalling Andrew Bolt is crying media bias again! This time, he thinks it's unfair that a "joke" told by Tony Abbott (no doubt one he thought was dead, buried and cremated!) has been exhumed and used against him.

Fellow travellers, you may have read about this strange event, in which the reactionary, peenie-waving London Mayor "Bonking Boris" Johnson saved Franny Armstrong - climate change activist and director of the searing film The Age of Stupid - from an attack by several young women.

I'm sure that this "brave" act was completely unnecessary. Ms Armstrong surely could have protected herself had he not arrived so "heroically" on the scene. That's why these comments are so bizarre: "He was my knight ...
