the apotheosis of daily mail journalist brenda power
I glanced at an article by Brenda Power in the Daily Mail.
It had caught my eye because she began it with a perspective lifted from this blog.
She claimed to feel disquiet that the accusations against deceased broadcaster Jimmy Savile had not been made while he was alive to answer them.
I read on, hoping to see some honorable and courageous admonitions to the media groups who had attempted to conduct a posthumous trial of Jimmy Savile by bankrupt newspaper, Judge Rupert Murdock presiding.
But no.
In ripping off this webite for her opening stab at credibility, Brenda Power then drew down the shutters on her plagiarism, toeing the editorial line devised by her bosses, and joining the amoral media mob with whole hearted zest in asserting that Jimmy Savile was guilty of everything that could be imagined, and that no due process or fairness or truth should stand in the way of employees of the super soaraway naked lady publishing phone tapping police bribing Sun, or similarly high minded employees at the near defunct Mirror Group or indeed those wondrously principled rationo legalist geniuses at the legendarily bankrupt Daily Mail itself, in slandering the aforementioned Jimmy Savile with gay abandon.
Brenda Power actually outdid her colleagues in the bankrupt journalistic profession in slandering Jimmy Savile however.
For Brenda Power claimed: "His black soul is burning in hell."
I folded up the Daily Mail (It will fold up itself shortly) with a certain wry bemusement.
It is not often that one discovers a new god.
So Brenda Power not only has the power to find the deceased broadcaster Jimmy Savile guilty of crimes he has never been charged with.
She also has the power to cast souls into hell.
Well folks.
I'm not going to lie to you.
In the matter of Brenda Power's divinity, I would have to register myself as a card carrying atheist.
But hang on.
What about the real God? (No, not Rupert Murdock or Irish robber baron Tony O'Reilly. I am referring to the God of the Hebrews.)
I wonder what the real God will make of all this.
We all answer to him.
Don't we?
