  My Right of Reply

My Right Of Reply is a social news site - of sorts. Strongly oriented on the Australian media our primary purpose is to explore the many sides to stories in the media and to provide a place for people to share and discuss topics relating to the news.

Most of us agree that there are always at least two sides to every story; unfortunately, the media don’t always publish both of them. The use of “comments” made by one party is often taken out of context in order to fit the story, or “grabs” that when not seen in the context of the whole interview can misrepresent one party, is unfortunately common practice in less reputable publications and TV/Radio current affairs and news programs. While the more reputable ones sometimes simply get it wrong.


  FOOT IN MOUTH
Foot-In-Mouth Winner


"There was an energy bill on the floor of the Senate loaded down with goodies. Billions for the oil companies and it was sponsored by Bush and Cheney. You know who voted for it? You might never know. That one. You know who voted against it? Me."

Just when we thought the Vice Presidential debate would be a gaffe-fest, McCain comes in with 'this one'.

Sure, it's disrespectful, but Obama didn't appear too flustered by it.

Now teeshirts are appearing with the slogan "I'm voting for 'That One'" – it's seems like another blessing for the Democrats' campaign.
