 Its A Matter Of Opinion » Blog Archive » Radical Moonbat Gallery – Margo Kingston
Margo also fancies herself to be a journalist but slowly even the sad socialist rag called Sydney Morning Herald cuts its links with her and so she operates mostly from Not Happy John (where she’s peddling her book under the same title) and The Northern Rivers Echo.
Yet, Margo is smart enough to know deep down that she doesn’t really know much and so she worked out her own unique journalistic style to cover her hind quarters.
Margo usually starts her stories by dropping some facts without explaining the core meaning and the background of the issue in question.

Margo's income and fame are directly related to just how well she ascertains the movements of the far left and mimics them to retain readership.
What Margo, along with the rest of the left needs to realize, is that the majority is not going to be cowed because a vocal minority begins screaming a bit louder...and screaming louder in no way makes your arguments more valid.
