Ruby Hamad lies about me
So in this tweet, Ruby Hamad makes factual claims about something I wrote.
Note — there are quotation marks, indicating a quote. And for some reason — readers can guess why — no link to where I supposedly made this strange claim.
This is a fabrication.The story in question from that time is here. There is no “Muslim issues” quote, because Hamad made it up.
The story in question is about a study by One Path, showing that in the Murdoch press there were almost 3000 pieces on Islam or Muslims in a year portraying them in a negative way. There’s also a roster of hardcore opinion columnists churning that stuff out.

I observed — rather obviously — that there’s no one with a platform like Bolt or Panahi who can write dozens of columns a year responding to Islamophobic attacks rather than advancing them. It’s not hard to follow this very simple point.
Or in Hamad’s rendering, “ New Matilda & Michael Brull have declared no Muslims have written about ‘Muslim issues’ for Fairfax.” Naturally, Hamad didn’t link to this claim, because it is a blatant fabrication.
