….And Then Kiss And Almost Make Up.
I’m talking about the cat fight between TeeVee felines Mr. Stephen Smart and Mr. Keith Baldrey over the ‘exclusive’ scoop the latter received from Premier ‘Too Scared For Pressers’ Clark regarding her (no snap) election announcement last night.
Interestingly, the tussle took place completely within the hand-held ‘Universe of the Twitts’….
It started with this….
Baldrey: Premier Christy Clark makes it official: no election this year, and likely not until 2013. On Global Newshour tonite.
Then, when it became clear to the remaining chosen few that they themselves would not be chosen, it moved to this….
Smart: enjoyed cherry-picking what media to use to say no elex. Guess she didn’t want another tough scrum like last week.
Ooooohhhhh….. Good one Mr. Smart….Play, the ‘I’m so tough she won’t dare talk to me’ card….Then go to your buddies who, we know, will never be really tough, and most certainly never consistently tough, if they know it will shut them out of the free ‘n easy insider access fo’ real…
Smart: why communicate with all voters when you can deliver your msg to a select few I guess? Chris Ol… (cont)
Then get really mad and start the fur flying by pretending you would have asked something the other guy didn’t….
Smart: serious ?’S for after she gave non elex scoop to 1 tv stn with agreement not to run opposition reax. Voters served?



Now that was interesting….But where would Mr. Smart have gotten this ‘agreement’ info from I wonder….Regardless, it gets Mr. Baldrey cat scratch fever angry….



Baldrey: Stephen: there was NO agreement not to run opp. reax. That never even came up. That is our decision alone.


Wow! Even better, Mr. Baldrey is so in tune with what the Preem and Friends might want, or not want, that he and his can decide, all on their lonesome, that they don’t even want to follow up on their blockbuster ‘exclusive’ (who came to whom with said ‘exclusive’, I wonder) with a reaction from the opposition leader Mr. Dix….And, please note who Mr. Baldrey copied on his tweet to Mr. Scott….errrrr….Smart….



And then…. The climb-down/denouementier scratched-up olive branch offered by Mr. Smart….



Smart: totally accept what you’re saying. It was a good scoop. My tweet wasn’t aimed at you/global, but PCC media strategy.


Gosh, fellows…..



You might want to remember that your little tweet-spats are public. And, as a result, we, the public, can actually see the sunlight shining through those holes in your water-pails.
Regardless their size and/or number.


OK?
