Dear Kelly,

Recently you contacted ReaderLink. The following outlines The Herald’s response:

Miranda Devine’s articles appear in The Herald’s opinion pages, and like all our opinion pieces her article is intended to stimulate debate and discussion among our readers. Much of this debate takes place in the daily Letters pages.
To respond to Herald opinion pieces you needs to send your comments to: letters@smh.com.au .

Dear Justine and Ben

I am telling you I am never buying anything from Fairfax or visiting another Fairfax website because of an offensive article. 

Her article was NOT designed to stimulate any debate and discussion, it was to INFLAME it and promote hatred.

She was calling for a group to be lynched. 

This is irresponsible.  

It is journalism at it’s worst.

It is not what I expected from the Sydney Morning Herald.

This is a tragedy and shocking that you would allow this to be printed in response to this tragedy

You are not the tabloid in this market so why are you acting like it? 

Do you have a standard response you always say about Miranda Devine’s articles? 

Do your editors care at all about how disgusting her piece was, or are they happy about all the anger and hatred she has stirred up, the hits it has probably driven to your website which in turn gives you something nice to tell the advertisers?

I don’t care about the letter pages. I want YOU to know you have lost a reader. 

Kind regards

Kelly Tall
