The resentment (including citing Blatchford's salary) crackles off the page. The part about Blatchford being 'given' a platform is especially risible. Embarking on a career as a woman in the newspaper business in 1975, Blatchford wasn't handed anything. Whatever else anyone may think about her opinions and approaches to stories, she was an extraordinarily hard-working and tenacious journalist.
