Natali Your Ignorance is Showing
I have to say I was disappointed, being a longtime supporter of TeXtra, a video poscast by tech Journalist Natali Del Conte. Right at the intro to her show is a statement that Textra is not just a “chick reads the news show”, inferring that Del Conte is a serious journalist and not just a pretty face. Now, leaving aside the “look at my perky bottom” glamour pics displayed on the site, on tuesday she threw out a glib comment regarding Thailand’s impending Lese Mageste lawsuit against YouTube saying that it would make more sense for Thailand to go after the uploader of the video, however she would rather see YouTube Get sued then someone get beheaded over it.
Beheaded? Please! Pick up a book, or do a quick Google before making a comment like that. I guess this girl thinks Thais are a bunch of barbarians living in the middle ages.
I’m disappointed because I’ve enjoyed TeXtra, and aside from the silly glam pics, I always liked Del Conte’s straight forward opinions on tech industry news.
I’m sure she knows that the difference between a “chick reads the news” show, and serious journalism is the serious journalist checks their facts before speaking.
If not, that bottom better stay perky. There’s lots of chicks waiting to read the news.
