DonnyTJS Posted January 5, 2016 Share Posted January 5, 2016 Chris Gayle in trouble for dodgy sliminess on national TV (http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-australia-35229309). This ABC discussion was played on TMS during lunch today - thought it made interesting listening: https://soundcloud.com/abc_grandstand/the-press-room-scg-day-3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ormond Posted January 5, 2016 Share Posted January 5, 2016 If the lassie was quicker she could've left him looking like a phud on air. Over the top reaction though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DonnyTJS Posted January 5, 2016 Author Share Posted January 5, 2016 If Piers Morgan thinks it's been blown out of proportion then I'm in no doubt that things haven't gone far enough. Chris Rogers on that ABC discussion is interesting about Gayle's "patterned" behaviour while at the Sydney Thunder (and he will be at Somerset with him next season) but the women are saying that it goes far wider than Gayle. She shouldn't need to call him a phud - she shouldn't be placed in that position. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's something I have no experience with, but listening to how the other female journalists react it is obviously upsetting and to continually be pigeon-holed based on gender must be terrible.

What is your point? If someone is suffering more than you, then you have no cause for complaint? Only the person with the worst conditions get to moan, or get legislated for. I'll stop guessing and let you tell us what your point is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

phart Posted January 5, 2016 Share Posted January 5, 2016 (edited) No idea what being a journalist has to do with it. What difference that makes, or that someone else reported from war zone? Did sir peter de la billiere ask her on a date when she interviewed him?? Edited January 5, 2016 by phart Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DonnyTJS Posted January 5, 2016 Author Share Posted January 5, 2016 I never said call him one. A simple retort to him would've left him looking like one. Yeah, sorry, you didn't. Point still stands though: she should not be placed in that position on live television while just trying to do her job. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phart Posted January 5, 2016 Share Posted January 5, 2016 For clarity. ..... It's a non story..... no issue How is she suffering? Clarity??? Ah right so what was all this Kate Adie and war zones stuff for then? Just random stream of consciousness? Get over it you said, now you're asking what she has to get over? (how is she suffering?) Right we'll agree to disagree about the newsworthiness of the story. I'm struggling to understand what you mean. Which is cool as it's not important.

Ormond Posted January 5, 2016 Share Posted January 5, 2016 Yeah, sorry, you didn't.
