Baker and Mckenzie wrote a couple of great investigative articles with the infamous Dank interview. They seemed quite impartial compared to most of the other players.

Caro is being hand fed so she knows her stuff and we know her angle and intent.....bury Hird.

Le Grand is a joke and Robbo is emotionally wrecked by it. I do feel for Tim Watson, he is in a shithouse position and has rightfully looked after his son, if I was him I would have snapped by now.
 
Every single snout is in a trough.

That is not being cynical. It is being realistic.

EVERY journalist needs to be filtered for agenda when reading them, watching them or listening to them.

When you learn the correct filtering dosages, things become easy to grasp.
Why would Baker and Mckenzie have any vested interest in this, on either side?

I'm not saying they have a vested interest. But like ALL journalists, they need to be basically filtered.

That is not always a negative connotation by the way.

For example, you need to realise who all journalists likely sources are first before you can properly understand or disect what they are saying.

I would have said Kent Brockman but after having dealt with journalists before I'm pretty much convinced that a strict adherence to known facts doesn't appear on anybody's job description. Take them all with a pinch of salt in my view.

Mick Ellis has reported on both sides of the story and also exposed the afl's media management strategy way before it came out in court. I think he's been the best for mine.

There's a Grant Baker that has been writing on it too. Don't get confused which is which!

Baker and MacKenzie started strong but have done not much since.
biggest law firm in the world. World Bank chief Legard is ex Bakers lead Euro partner or CEO or some crap. And then she went to leftist French politics in a Chirac gov't was minister or some s**t
