Was Aunty mean to Gina? (aussie.zone)

My exposure to the newspaper is 2 minutes per day in the cafe as I wait for my coffee. I've observed the West Australian turn into the Herald Sun/Daily Telegraph over the past year.

We've reached the point where page 2 gets this. He doesn't even specify his gripe. I searched up Gina on the ABC news site and the last mention of her was praising her for supporting Commonwealth Games athletes.

Does anyone know what he's on about?

Sure. I get why they’re drinking the Kool aid. But I don’t know what he’s complaining about. Did someone make a joke at the rich lady’s expense? Or point out that she gets a platform for opening her big mouth simply because she’s rich?

I’m missing something from this.

Oh I see. Search “Gina” in the ABC app/site. They have a bunch of articles (11 since June) varying from reporting on her attendance at events, to highlighting her relationship with Pauline Hanson and stupid shit she says like that QLD should give islands to fellow wealth hoarder and haver of shit takes, Elon Musk.

Christopher Doore is earning his keep, suckling at his masters teet and trying to bring heat to anyone with the audacity to criticise his owner by proxy. I don’t think it’s deeper than that. She wants a return on her investment and newspapers aren’t a booming media industry.
