The other day, a girl in Paris alleged that she'd been attacked by a
gang of Islamic thugs and slashed with knives. Naturally, this story
was manna from heaven for every Arab-hating bigot that heard it. One
of very worst Arab-hating bigots, other than Paul Holmes and Ian
Wishart, is the orotund Newstalk ZB morning host LEIGHTON SMITH, who
of course picked up this story and ran with it. "Islamic THUGS!!!!"
he raged, and proceeded to argue, in his intellectually rigorous way,
that this justified U.S. troops killing tens of thousands of Iraqi and
Afghani people.
Well, the next day it was revealed that (surprise, surprise) the
girl's story was, like a Tony Blair speech, nothing but lies. She
confessed to police that she'd actually cut up her own back, with the
help of her kinky boyfriend.

To his credit, Leighton Smith noted that what he'd said the day before
was mistaken. Sadly, however, Smith then went on to somewhat spoil
the effect of his (already muted) apology by insisting that, although
this particular story was nonsense, there could be NO DOUBT that
"Islamic thugs and brutes" were indeed committing atrocities against
white girls.

Despite some misgivings over Smith's sincerity and integrity, this
writer felt that the apology, however grudging, was an encouraging
sign. I therefore dashed off the following e-mail to the great

Ha! You're not the first person to have said that, Neill, and I guess
that it's understandable you might think that. For the record: no, I
have not applied for a job at that joke of a station, or at any other
radio station. Similarly, my criticism of, say, the rogue Bush

each occasion, exposed Smith's lack of wit.

What I do have though is a reasonable understanding of talkback radio.
Talkback is not about reasoned debate or wit so you can stow any
misconceptions you have about who "won".
Leighton called Morrissey an idiot on national radio and he annoyed him
enough to make the original post. Morrissey OTOH wrote two emails both of
which probably got trashed the instant Leighton had made his dismissive
reply, Leighton probably doesn't even remember them. Hence Morrissey being 0
from 2.

Further you have overlooked the fact that it is talk-radio not email-radio.
It wouldn't make much money if Leighton had involved email debates with
every listener who disagreed. The dismissive reply and the on air insult are
not, as Morrissey thinks an indication that Leighton doesn't want to (or
cannot) debate, they are in fact a goad to get him to call up and argue ie.
to fulfill the purpose of talk radio. Just like the fact that opinions
expressed by talkback hosts are often not their real opinions but extreme
caricatures of them designed to goad listeners into calling.

listener and a listener makes advertising dollars. By continuing to listen
Morrissey not only aggravates himself but supports the very thing he

Errrr.... the fact that Smith is an arrogant boor is a point I readily
concede. I have no doubt at all that he dismissed my e-mails almost
instantly. That rather underlines my point, wouldn't you agree?

Nobody expects an INVOLVED debate, especially from Leighton Smith.
What one might expect is a degree of panache or wit. Smith displays
neither.

Nonsense. Smith could have read the e-mails out on air, and responded
to them. He was not man enough to read out fair and measured
criticism of him, especially criticism that nailed him for his racist
comments and his gullibility.

So the REAL Leighton Smith is a thoughtful, serious and intelligent

Your point is well made here, except for the part about Smith
"aggravating" me. I expect him to be like that, and I rarely allow
myself to get worked up about him. The e-mails were simply to goad
him, to let him know that some people at least are not prepared to
passively let his vicious, empty bombast float unremarked into the
ether.

Google groups requires you to log on with a *real* email address.. I

All good points. I don't listen to talkback radio because my radio
wouldn't physically last long if I did :)
It's a pity NZ has nothing like good ol'Crikey in Australia which is
pretty much independent media - web only - and has gotten quite
influential there.
They regularly give some classic serves (and even get sued by) such
idiots as Stan Price and Alan Jones, as well as the right-wing opinion
columnists (I can't possibly refer to them as journalists) Andrew Bolt
and Piers AKerman.

You have to register using an address that can receive email. But you
can get as many of those as you like, from hotmail, yahoo etc.

My addie works to receive email - if you remove the obvious glitch.
It's the same spam-catcher I've used for several years. Is it a
"real" address in your terms?

Most people don't use Google Groups because they can run a news client
application and get far better service from their ISP's news server.

Actually i've just got a new addie that doesn't forward on mails to me
as I was so sick of the worms/viruses I was being inundated with.
SO I have a new ID on Google groups ...^_^ ...
meanwhile I have registered with news.individual.net as my ISP has no
newserver, ( so I can't use Outlook) and I am coming to grips with a
proper newsagent, Freeagent. When I've figured it out, I'll use it all
the time
cheers
