When is a lie not a lie

[pink]

The other day I watched another one of those daily "hard hat" press conferences by Tony Abbott and in it he mentioned that Julia Gillard is a "liar" at least 10 times. Also, in that same press conference he referred to the means testing of the health care rebate as a "health tax". Why does the media let him get away with it?

I cannot help but feel disgusted with our media, the opposition and also dumb arse voters who never look beyond the headlines and are carried away by 3 word slogans.
