Walkley glory for Fairfax journalists as Nine’s Oakes takes top honour
Fairfax Media dominated last night’s Walkley Awards, with the company’s journalists winning 11 trophies to The ABC’s seven and News Ltd’s six.
The night also saw vindication for the Sydney Morning Herald’s chief correspondent Paul McGeogh with his controversial first person piece on the Israeli assault on the Gaza flotilla winning best print news report.
At the time his phrase: “They hunted like hyenas – moving up and ahead on the flanks; pushing in, then peeling away; and finally, lagging before lunging,” was attacked by the pro-Israel lobby as showing bias.
The SMH was also the masthead with the most wins – with three for its print journalists and one for online.
non of these journalistic pygmies have the kahunas to report the significance of NIST’s reluctant admission that building 7 fell at freefall speed and the implications of such a fact, or the unrefuted peer reviewed scientific evidence that proves explosives were used to bring down the world trade center builings on 9/11.
useless schmucks the lot of them.
