Re: [Marxism] Re: Germaine Greer trashes TV reality show

["James Daly" <james.irldaly@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

My remark "I can't help wondering what (Germaine Greer) was doing there in
the first place" was unfortunately and unintentionally ambiguous.  It was
not a request for information, but a rhetorical expression of near disbelief
that an intelligent and socially aware person could take part in such a
"reality".  Rainforest ends do not justify reality TV means.
