But John Doyle was brilliant. He brought an exquisite, nuanced sensitivity to issues, successfully avoiding the conventional droll of tired political and social commentators. Waleed Ali is the best, but Doyle should not be patronised as a 'not quite the full package' as far as political journalism goes. He was refreshing, challenging, informative, stretched-to-the-boundaries commentary, and busted them. In other words, Doyle brought a very refreshing spin - close to the ordinary experience of us ordinary Ozzies - and got beyond the conventional protocols of press-gallery journalism. GO DOYLE!!!
