I love your quaint assertion that the journalists at the Australian were once young and idealistic. So was Faust. Andrew Bolt appears fairly young yet his ideals would appear to be on the same level as a race riot.

Have long given up on the rag. One wonders if Phillip Adam on LNL will continue to give radio time to the same journo’s on the ABC.

As a colleague of mine in Queensland recently remarked. “Who pays any attention to the Oz these days?” Wonderful backflip last weekend. Off to the relevance deficit disorder clinic for Pearson, Albrechtsen et al

Excellent article from this entertaining writer. The Australian should change its name to Pravda, a paper it so closely resembles.

I find it amusing that those bastions of free speech at the ABC are the first to demand censoring of views that disagree with their own. I wonder what I am getting for my seven cents a day!

I took out a Crikey sub on the money I saved not buying that tripe rag - the Weekend Australian.

A low circulation paper, not worth the worry? True it makes an echo into Bigger Media, claims intellectual grunt, but I only got it in 07 to learn the Dinosaur rhetorics for election combat. Post Nov 24 its a pseudo SMH. Give me a lefty Age ..in Sydney.
