A constructive suggestion for media
Here is my suggestion for a positive model for reforming the way that the media reports on politics. Either a smart outlet will pick up this model and gain credibility that traditional outlets have lost, or an online outlet will build that credibility, or people will muddle through as they are doing now with a mix of both (yes, Gay Alcorn, a mix of both).

Fine sentiments in that article Andrew, but the media won't listen and are beyond change.
ReplyDeleteBarrie Cassidy's dreadful piece on ABC's The Drum this morning (claiming that the incumbents are a lame-duck government, WTF) demonstrates yet again that bullshit will override any form of rational well-argued opinion, backed by their editorial team thankyou very much.
As sales figures plummet and trust in their "product" declines, journos continue with their circle-jerk... and just watch them gnash and wail when they do get laid off.
Thank you, that was informative [as were the links].

Congratulations to Liberal stalwart Mr Petros Georgiou for receiving an OAM.
His services towards multiculturalism and refugees has been exemplary throughout his political career.
Classy Liberals are never forgotten but always respected with high regard for their wisdom
