It's terrible to see what Fairfax monopolies do to smaller markets, like Newcastle, and the way editorial opinion is inevitably marshalled by small-minded, parochial career-seekers who don't mind letting extremists like Pilger get published - so long as they agree with them. <br /><br />I think the best thing that could be TimThttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10333303180015967125noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10611988.post-54003090469972006702006-11-13T13:51:00.000+11:002006-11-13T13:51:00.000+11:00Kent, I think burning the Australian qualifies as ...Kent, I think burning the Australian qualifies as carbon neutral.lucy tartanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09244574932248425378noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10611988.post-28858611224861487472006-11-13T12:42:00.000+11:002006-11-13T12:42:00.000+11:00You are right to feel sorry for us out here in Per...You are right to feel sorry for us out here in Perth where our media is outrageously awful.

It's the right that is politically postmodernist today.
