It must hard for journalists to have to pay for obviously selective and poor content as part of their jobs.

So many of us came to rely on newspapers to tell us what the government wasn't telling us (willingly) that we forgot to ask what the newspapers were not telling us (willingly). And reading both "conservative" media and "liberal" media turns out to have been no solution. A Hegelian dialectic?

Thank you for the recap from Australia. Anything for sale can be bought at a higher price. So-called news media is but one means for the powers that be to get into our heads what they want to get into our heads by paying a higher price than we do.

I could go through the WSJ with the same skeptical eye these past three years for sure (or just the past three months!) and understand that I have been reading it for thirty years and there is a lot they did not tell me and were never going to tell me. The "news" side of the WSJ was always "liberal"; the "opinion" side was always "conservative"; it felt like you could read "both sides" on any day.

Hahahahahaha!

I can see this move by the unnamed paper being about as successful as Youtube's attempt to block users with adblockers.

On related news, Albo has taken another whack from the citizens. The STFU Bill has been deferred until next year.

(Wow, one of my predictions actually came true for a change)

As I said to my local member yesterday. If they cannot protect the Jews from marauding barbarians in Australia how will they protect Christian’s or any other religion except Islam.
