And what other newspaper regularly mentions the exploits of Phil Alexander? 
Thank-you for answering and I guess I should get back to the topic. |
Hate to go off topic but to say that Murdoch is not wedded to the right of politics is bizarre.His occasional support of Labor has been more about personal vendettas against people in the Coalition -see Turnbull in the last week for an example-and realising that when Labor is definitely going to win he doesn’t want to be seen as backing losers and jumps sides for a few months.Then look at what he does in the rest of the world where he runs media.He is a cancer on democracy.
As for The Australian being the best newspaper in Australia and providing “balanced commentary” you are surely having a joke.Their climate change denialism alone disqualifies them from any claim like this.It is The Daily Telegraph dressed up in big words and pretension.
Now back to our regularly scheduled programming.
