Michael Smith has no idea what he's talking about ... and neither does 'suzanne'.
If he actually did some research, instead of shooting off his mouth to try and promote himself, he might do better. His comments show him to be nothing more than an ill-informed media has-been. (or rather a never-really-was). And that we DON'T need.
TK does not know what he is talking about. It's not Michael Smith who is ill informed. Suzanne is right, this is something that we do need to have a conversation about.
It is also wrong to say that the Bob Kernohan interview had not been legalled as it had been. See the story here: http://www.michaelsmithnews.com/2013/08/shutting-down-enquiries-youve-only-got-to-take-out-one-or-two-and-the-rest-will-go-quietly.html and again here http://www.michaelsmithnews.com/2014/06/jason-morrison-a-great-journalist-the-best-radio-newsman-in-the-business-and-a-true-friend.html
It would not have been an unacceptable gamble for 2UE to broadcast the interview, and it is wrong to say so. Thankfully there are Australian journalists like Michael Smith out there who are prepared to do their job rather than following groupthink like so many others are. Australia needs more like him.
