To comment on “Women losers in gender divide”, 07/04

Corporate media owners no longer seem driven by the profit motive and appear willing to take losses to maintain their grip on outlets that have become nothing more than propaganda megaphones – and the editors running them have become the enemies of their own families and friends.

Do journalists, particularly editors, realise they’re destroying their own industry, their own jobs in corporate media, by continually rerunning as “news” tropes that have been completely and comprehensively dismissed and debunked?
For example, “Women losers in gender divide” (07/04): once again, the quoted “expert” is disingenuously comparing apples with oranges to reach an anti-male political activist conclusion.
When you put men and women in the exact same job for the exact same hours they get the exact same pay; that’s black-letter law in Australia.
Suggesting that men who put in long overtime hours in heavy industrial jobs in harsh environments in remote areas should be paid the same as women working 7.5-hour days in air conditioned public sector offices in town just insults everyone’s intelligence.
Corporate media owners no longer seem driven by the profit motive and appear willing to take losses to maintain their grip on outlets that have become nothing more than propaganda megaphones – and the editors running them have become the enemies of their own families and friends.
