Televangelists
In the toadying Ackerman column I discussed below, the pompous one wrote:
Roz Trestrail, who is standing in Mackellar against Liberal Bronwyn Bishop, says the party has no funds for TV advertising, belying the charges it is bankrolled by the religious Right in NSW.
But what’s this I spy in today’s West Australian (no link, because it’s The Worst)?
The Australian Greens have lodged an official complaint with the Australian Electoral Commission after the Family First party screened advertisements accusing them of peddling drugs to children.
[…]
The Family First ads, which are screened in major capital cities and some regional areas, suggest the Greens want to legalise heroin and exstasy and make marijuana available to children.
This proves that you can’t believe a word the Family First party says. Ackerman, though, will uncritically funnel their rubbish into his columns. That will save FFP a few bob on newspaper advertising, which allows them to spend more of the AOG congregation’s money telling lies on TV.
The Greens complaint to the AEC was reported here.
My bad, but I’ve just got ta say it, as I have over at TimD’s.
Now that it’s waxing noticeably, the abbr. FFP simply reminds me of Fist F**k Party (and I do giggle childishly).
Anyone seen these ads?
