Worst journalist in Australia- vote now.

My friend Ben Butler has been nominated in a pissy internet tantrum that's been set up by notable Australian scumbag Dr. Geoffrey Edelsten. I'm not sure what he wrote to deserve this rant:
The title 'business affairs editor" appears under his name, but his articles display an appalling lack of any business knowledge. There is no doubt that despite his ability to confirm a proposed story as being factual, he is not disposed to do so. This allows him to write a story embellished with incorrect facts, and worsened by ommission of explanations, which instantaneously destroys the foundation of the story. The public should be aware that this 'journalist' and his editors set out to deliver a sensational story, more often than not, as a lead news story but deliberately avoid enquiring of the truth of the matter.

But Ben never wins anything- please go here and vote for him. He'd be honoured.

Full disclosure- I had stitches put in my arm at an Edelsten-owned clinic in Frankston, back in 1987 or so. The service was OK and the big screen TV in the waiting room was a blessing. Though I'm still not sure why they needed a grand piano in the middle of the room.

UPDATE- He won! Well done, Ben. Now, when will Edelsten pony up with the prize?
