They treat readers like morons and allow the most spurious and false allegations against people to go through. They have the most terrible censorship rules though.

Why not simply broaden the material on the current site to include material from UK universities? The announcement of Grattan's recruitment by the Conversation was criticised by many Conversation commenters as transferring to the Conversation the tired 'horse race' political commentary of the mainstream media. However, many of those commenters responded with surprised approval of Grattan's first few posts for the Conversation.

Worth a look at the reaction on The Conversation to Michelle Grattan's first few articles: along the lines of "Mainstream Media hack lowering the quality of the site by continuing with biased gossip columns a la Fairfax."

Ninety percent of which, lambasted her 'political analysis' and and denigrated her inclusion on the Conversation editorial team.
