Standard MM procedure. Good to see nothings changing under the new 28yo son of the founders CEO

Standard, that’s how they roll with any criticism. Luckily they can’t delete reviews off Apple Podcasts. Although they do beg for positive reviews
Former MM staffer Jasmine Garnsworthy is defending Luca's appointment as CEO. 
She's so far up Mia's a and is also a fellow Zionist and has a stinking rich husband/parents so I'm not surprised, really.

Eye rolling so hard at the Mia sycophants
All the “it’s a family business” are deliberately obfuscating the point. There’s nothing wrong with handing over the reigns to a family member but they’ve got to have demonstrated they can do the job.
Say what you want about the Murdoch kids, but they’ve been running smaller parts of the empire for decades, cutting their teeth. They’ve made a lot of public mistakes and god knows it’s obvious they didn’t get much protection/ soft landing from Rupert when they did.
How can you be a strong CEO if mum and dad have made it so easy for you to move up.
CEO’s usually have a remit around change-management: they need to move the business from point A to point B. It can be gruelling, especially in media companies which are all really doing it tough right now. It takes soft and hard skills, it takes EXPERIENCE.
but yeah it’s a private company and there’s no shareholders - so aside from the 200ish employees, he doesn’t really have a duty of care to succeed I suppose. The market can ultimately decide.

That’s such a good point re private company! I assume it has a board though? And surely they are a bit more agnostic with their expectations of the CEO and their deliverables?
the board is Jason! They don’t even seem to have non-executive advisors.
yes, I guess as they’re claiming this is purely about family succession, maybe Luca doesn’t have a change agenda beyond, Don’t duck It All Up.
My favourite part of the Outloud podcast with Luca was when he said he was glad he worked with family because it would be so hard to come home and have to explain to an outsider what a podcast is.
They really have an inflated idea of themselves if they think podcasting and selling ads on podcasts is far too complex for an ordinary person to understand. They live in such a bubble.

I wonder how the advertising team feels about wheeling him out to market, if he’s going to mansplain podcasts to CMOs and agency heads.
what about the spin on this that it is all just more 'efficient'
Mia has made this point when being criticised for dropping friends once they stop working with/for her, having friends you work for is just so much more effiecient
What a shallow view of the world they all have.
I wonder what Mia’s dad, who made the money in the first place, thinks of all this
Why does she continue to insert herself into the conversation? She’s so arrogant.
She needs to let the MM team have the conversation but she needs to remove herself from it.
That Crikey clip is so condescending. I do not defend Mia at all when I say this but they really can duck right off with their “apolitical Facebook mums” bull. The Mamamia audience has always been politically engaged - I remember the roasting Mia got when she brought Tony Abbott into the Mamamia office for a Q&A. They deleted lots of comments then too. It's not new at all for Mamamia’s audience. They've always had pushback from readers over Mia's positions and always tried to ignore or silence them. The sexism from Crikey towards an overwhelmingly female audience making legitimate political points is palpable. I get so sick of people in the media treating women like their brains fall out as soon as they have children.
This Daily Mail article has screenshots of the responses and they're excellent. It's a shame (but typical) that Mamamia responds by just deleting everyone but that's always been their thing. http://archive.today/LP8us

Yeah I thought that was really unfair - I have seen the group talk about and debate the Voice to Parliament and a range of political matters.
