Domainfax declares Domainfax “brain dead”

Is there a civil war afoot at Domainfax? Following moronic Domainfax coverage of Jonathon Tepper’s recent housing report, Domainfax has fired back at itself:

Jonathan Tepper is no stranger to criticism.

…Tepper says he has been through this before. “The report speaks for itself,” he tells The Australian Financial Review. “You’d pretty much have to be brain dead to disagree with it after reading it. It’s like our Spanish report. It’s all there.”

These are defiant words. But it is clear that Tepper is frustrated about being portrayed as an opportunist by the industry he is criticising.

He points out Variant never made the report available to the media. The AFR was the only media outlet to obtain the report.

Tepper has done interviews with The AFR and 60 Minutes. Tepper says he has been “bombarded” with so many questions, compliments and complaints through Twitter and email that he does not have time to deal with them all.

“I’d much prefer not to have the attention,” he says. “I’m not trying to be incendiary. I’m trying to write things as I see them.

My advice, Jonathon, is ignore the entire village of idiots.
