Something just occurred to me about the left wing bias for Fairfax, the media empire has been struggling for a long time and after September many of their ALP based contacts will be sent packing from Canberra ...... how are they going to be relevant after September on the political front ?

It kind of makes sense that they would like to see Gillard go as the basis of their bias will be further eroded after September. They might have to learn about journalistic balance or worse .... how to write an article from a conservative perspective or even learn what that is.

Mark Kenny will need to learn to swim in reality, his concern for the faceless ALP men who might have to earn an honest living for a change is rather amusing:

This is the side of party politics I despise, these anti-democratic forces in all parties that make choices the public often don't want eg. implant a lying incompetent feral hypocritical leader.

Who cares about them ?

Only their buddies in the fairfax media who will look rather irrelevant with a small ALP party after September.

Skippy

Not even talking about honesty which all journalist struggle with, the truth is usually boring and not news worthy, I am talking about material and relevance as clearly the nation is moving in a particular direction that will see the Fairfax sources off the radar.

Its interesting you made zero attempt to defend Fairfax integrity, you think much like Gillard does...... automatically go on the attack. You just confirming my assertion that Fairfax is very left wing.

Again your mindlessly going on a left wing attack, so Fairfax is are a bunch of left wing idiots is confirmed ?
This is what your saying.

Unfortunately for your dumb ar$e assertion, the press (murdoch or not) will need to be more balanced or view events from the more conservative side of the Australian electorate which is the majority, clearly given the failings of Fairfax its more relevant as your conforming.

I am just pointing out the obvious about Fairfax.

You don't know that many of the ALP contacts will be gone. It's only assumption. Even if a few are lost - half the population can't tolerate Abbott.

Fairfax will be busier than ever scrutinising every move the Coalition makes especially if Abbott fulfills his promise of sacking 12,000 public servants.

Abbott will no doubt get back twice the flack Gillard has had to endure - but it will be warranted. Those who might be brutally discarded have families and friends, who will also be seriously affected by Abbott's promised slashing and burning.

Did I volunteer a number ?

On that topic the carnage looks somewhere between 20-40 gone depending on how much the ALP can recover.

Its hard to gauge as the polls have been complimentary to the ALP in the state elections. No one saw the QLD disaster, the polls the experts ..... no one.

Your delusional about the media and most topics.

You need to pay attention to reality.

Karnal is spot on, she knows her stuff.

Abbott is already in training for his " stop the boats!" campaign.

His plan is to constantly jog around the entire coast of the world's biggest island, wearing only his speedos and a straw hat and yelling through a loud hailer:"bugger Off! bugger OFF!"

That should do it.

Thoughts?

So what does that have to do with the future of Fairfax ?

Maybe they should call themselves Abbott watch.

Oh well so much for their share holders.
