Tim Blair has noticed the exceptionally low interest in Antony Loewenstein's SBS interview. 70 odd views in the last week at last count.

I have to confess I was responsible for at least 3 or 4 of those views. Not to hear what Antony had to say of course (entirely predictable and likely to alienate neighbourhood canines). But to see what he had on his bookshelf.

Antony who had written most of his Israel book having never set foot in the place, seems to also keep a copy of the Lonely Planet guide to Israel. Most visitors to the country would simply ask friends and family. Antony's family in Israel are not his friends and think he's a liar and a fool...

Still, he's good enough for Our ABC (and SBS).

Thanks for the support, Dan. I just knew once would not be enough for you to watch my video. I hope you didn't make a mess all over your keyboard!

The price of unflinching honesty is often a fence to those close to one's selfie. And of course there are some things one has to do to build a media profile. The luvvies love it and after a while one gets a taste for it. In Tony Jones' case you can taste the hubris in every spurt.
