Our media in Australia is crap, they all just say the same thing and the number of investigating journos is now almost zero. If we had a media worthy of the name we would all be better off.

Police have lost all public respect with resignations and jailing and more to come. It led to the closing of a 150 year old paper from the shame of tapping the phone of a murdered school girl. The Press only have themselves to blame and public opinion is moving that way. Journalistic opinion is irrelevant and it is designed to ensure it retains the share of the media dollar. Citizen Kane is alive and well. Cameron in the UK, like Gillard is strugglng with the press barons of the UK on exactly the same issues and his failure to implement may well cost him his leadership and the next election. Cameron was personally implicated in the UK debacle a claim that cannot be made against the Gillard Government as the press have been hell bent on regime change from day one.
