This week's Media Watch

We are grateful to "Media Watch" for informing us of the title of Professor David Flint's book: "Twilight of the Elites".

We can see it now: "Johnno" Howard and "Flints" Flint, sitting out on the front verandah at Kiribilli, gazing wistfully at the darkness descending over their spiritual home, the western suburbs of Sydney, relaxed and comfortable in their King Gee work shorts and blue truck-driver singlets, barefoot, stubby holders in hand (Johnno's commemorates the life of Sir Donald Bradman, while Flints's bears a humorous portrait of his idol, Alan Jones, and the caption "Your behaviour disgusts me, Kamahl"), while Jeanette Howard and Mrs Flint (assuming there is a Mrs Flint) share a flagon of spumante in the kitchen. You'll recognise Jeanette: she's the one wearing the "I'm With Stupid" t-shirt.
