We’re banned from commenting on Landeryou’s Vexnews, who keeps proclaiming his right to have a say, but bans us from a comment. Weird!

But Slanderyou New, which keeps an eye on Landeryou’s online defamations these days. is similarly unapproachable. It has a wordpress fault which prevents commenters from posting there.

JC is correct.
Landeryou’s stuff is no worse than that from the leftist gossip rag Crikey.

bad suit on!

Thanks for the kind words, which are of course completely deserved.

It is sadly true – although something I could not admit at the OC – that I am in fact not a real journalist but am merely a mouthpiece for the musings of the all-powerful Labor Right Rooster/Dalek/Dad/Senator Steve Conroy or alternatively Pokies Pusher/Extra Terrestrial David White or alternatively ALP Boss/Chieftain/Wedding Host Fiona Richardson or the fun loving President of Israel. (sarcasm hopefully detected)

I do the best I can with the OC and hope it provokes lively debate, with data and views that you might not get from elsewhere, it is true I pull no punches, I call a pimp a pimp, but hopefully always with a wry smile. If writing isn’t fun, why do it?

Comrade Alex White, a rather dull young socialist writes the multitude of blogs about me, just in case anyone was wondering. A member of my self-styled OC Investigations Unit has even taken a photo of him posting on blogger sitting in the State Library. We’ll use it when he slims down and runs for public office one day. He doesn’t like it when we say mean thangs about him and his employers in the Socialist Left. He’s not quite at the standard of previous efforts (we exposed the authors on the OC when they grew tiresome) but we can only encourage him to fatten up prior to slaughter.

A journalist of my eminence surely deserves at least five blogs to be written about him. I’m hoping for ten by this time next year. A KFC $50 voucher or OC T-shirt to anyone starting one. Call the OC hotline 0415 99 33 26 to make delivery arrangments.

Game on.

His blog fits in perfectly with the gossipy stuff you get elsewhere. This kind of writing has been round since the pamphleteers hitting the sovereign.

Sure there’s a place for it. 98% of his stuff isn’t much, but the 2% makes up for it.

As someone who dislikes much about the ALP, it’s worthwile to figure out goings on.

What makes him all that different from Crikey?

It’s quite amusing that he doesn’t grasp how ridiculous ending every post with “game on!”

Ken thanks for the review, and link. However, we can’t take credit for Make Landeryou Pay, nor the other blogs. They belong to other patriots.

Landeryou’s just a political hack who spreads smears about Labor Right’s perceived enemies.

He’s quick with the political news because of his Labor Right contacts, but everything he writes is seriously twisted. His accusations today that one of the new Greens MPs was responsible for Coode Island (Why stop there, Andy? Why not blame her for September 11 and El Nino?)… his smears against the Greens regarding Moreland Council’s decision against refrigerative air con for a child care centre (the Greens argued for evaporative air con)…

The thought that anyone would turn to Landeryou for “news” (let alone “journalism”) is quite terrifying.

(He’s reported to be able to get away with his smears as a result of bankruptcy and being judgment-proof.)

PS It’s quite amusing that he doesn’t grasp how ridiculous ending every post with “game on!” makes him look.
