When listening to the podcast I thought you guys were all conspiracy nutjobs, after all Fox doesn't need to discredit us, they could have just told the FFA to get rid of us last year or tell them to get rid of us in four years - discrediting us may even help our metrics by having an anti Austalian backlash over here. It struck me as purely an emotional response to the save the nix campaign which was so positive.
However apparently on the Thursday shootout he was at it again, this time better prepared (rehearsed?) and less emotional, so maybe you are onto something.
