Yay.... 1 up for the Media....

take your bow and suck in the applause because you accomplished your goal.... successfully driving Tony Veitch to attempt suicide.

Congratulations.

After all, thats what you wanted from the start when you mercilessly hounded him and sensationalised facts to skew them so as to portray things in a light which may not be as true as it was. Ruining his reputation and attempting to destroy both his career and his personal life was your main goal - to bring down a successful media persona.

There are always two sides of a story. However, the likes of you, of course, don't really care about being fair or about justice at all. All you care about is how to make more dollars and cents because at the end of the day thats the ONLY thing that matters. Screw journalistic integrity.

If a man like Paul Holmes will speak up for him, you know that there Must have been something on the other side - Everyone and Anyone with half a brain should know that. I quote

"I do not remember a more savage, more frenzied, more complete media consumption of anyone in the public eye. I do not recall anything as ruthless, as relentless, as coldly pitiless. In fact, I believe, and I am not alone, that Tony Veitch has been the victim of a highly organised campaign."

And another excerpt

"But this has been a carefully orchestrated plan to end a career and the life a man has built. A valuable broadcasting performer has been taken out of two prime broadcasting slots, the Radio Sport Breakfast Show and One News. Instead of us seeing justice, we may have been seeing revenge. Instead of journalism, we may have seen commerce."


I am not saying that violence is wrong - there are many better ways to deal with it. But neither is writing a pack of half-truths (which can be worse than lies) and slagging someone off just to get higher viewership. Shame on you...
