That's what he's doing. You would think that women would be the angriest of all, but they're not.
And they're the ones that generally attack the messenger more than anybody else.
Look at them, they come down like vultures.
And a CBS newsman where Ray shows her to ask a pretty penetrating question.
From a journalist's point of view though, I mean, suddenly you've got to use words like oral sex and telephone sex.
People are using words and discussing things in mixed company that, until now,
you hardly heard it discussed except in whispers in the ladies room or out behind the barn somewhere where teenage boys might get together.
While in the United States, Uncle Ray would have had time to do a bit of research, watching some American daytime telly.
The wives back then did not have, you know, all the...
Well, what about you, the wives taking the initiative?
You know, I cook dinner, I do dishes, I clean the house, I'm taking care of my son all day long, so I'm...
Alright, I work the midnight shift.
Perhaps that's where A Current Affair found this gruesome little idea of a domestic stoush.

I told you, Rebecca, that I would do something to stop your dole payment and to make you get a job.

Got the cake section here. I'm gonna get one.
Why did you offer Rebecca this job?
Well, I felt that Rebecca needed a break.
I needed staff, and the minute I saw the current affairs, I just went to that phone and said,
Oh, please, I hope she'll work for me.
How are you going, Rebecca? Yeah, alright.
Come out, let's have a look. Oh, wow, you look like you're ready for work.
Even though Rebecca has to travel three hours a day to work, she's still dead keen.
Well, so far, it's all hearts and flowers.
Achieved the result that I wanted. So that was to get Rebecca off the dole.
She's off the dole. She's got a job today. Thanks, General.

Not a peep out of Uncle Ray as the fairy tale turns ugly.
Well, that's all from us at the Media Watch team for this week. Good night.
