The shareholder that they love to hate

I bet there will be fear and loathing in the Latte dens this morning as the Luvvies discover that the woman who backs Andrew Bolt’s TV show on makes a bid to own more of Fairfax media.

I expect that our learned friend will be going bright red with rage at the idea that someone should dare to exercise their right to buy shares in a public company and the thought that this person, GASP!! may not have the right ideological underwear to suitably nurture the collective at the Age. I wonder if Bolshie “senior” writers like Jo Chandler are, as you read this post, plotting to organise staff protests to let the public know that the “Journos (and senior writers) united will never be defeated” Isn’t this all just a rich vein for the Luvvies to deliver an angst riven campaign about the evils of the right?

Ah, we live in interesting times…
Cheers Comrades

Update:

Our learned friend goes for the sour grapes approach to this news

Portions of any work that are quoted are reproduced on the basis of the "fair dealing for purpose of criticism or review" section 41 of the Copyright Act 1968.
let's look at the Australian Copyright Council's fact sheet on Fair Use:

The Federal Court has stated that “criticism and review” involves making a judgment of the material concerned, or of the underlying ideas. Criticism and review may be strongly expressed, and may be expressed humorously, and need not be balanced. The defence can apply where the criticism or review takes place in a commercial context, such as in published books or newspapers or on commercial television.

However, the court emphasised that the purpose of criticism or review must be genuine. If the person has other motives – especially if these motives involve using the material to make a profit, or using a competitor’s material to
divert customers from the competitor – the fact that they have also engaged in a form of criticism or review is not
enough to prevent the use from infringing copyright
