I'm not arguing one way or the other. I'm saying that was NOT a positive piece for business/the right as some here originally thought it was. It is a loaded piece that yes, as you have just said yourself, confirms to the left that big business is entitled...
Well they are.

Theres no ifs buts or wherefores about that.

Interesting piece on the changing media landscape in Inside Story

There is the campaign you see via the mainstream media: on radio news and talkback; on television, still dominated by free-to-air channels; and in “legacy” newspapers, now commonly consulted via the web unless you’re taking a flight and have picked up a freebie. Through this lens, the campaign is a familiar enough beast: indeed, in outward appearance, it hasn’t changed all that much in recent decades.
The second vantage point intersects with the mainstream media in all kinds of ways, but it also has a more or less independent existence. This is the campaign on social media. I don’t mean the formal campaigning that parties and other groups run via Twitter, Facebook and other platforms. Rather, I mean the more informal exchanges between journalists, politicians and ordinary citizens. I am thinking especially of Twitter.

This is the dumbest thread.

The OP us just defining left bias to mean what they want it to mean. It even defined a blantantly pro-businsss hatchet job as left wing bias.

Just stupidity.
The OP needs a bigger heading.

If 9/Fairfax's aim in publishing a blatantly pro-business anti-Labor screed is to get the ALP elected, then the Murdoch cesspool's constant barrage of anti-Labor propaganda must, logically, mean that it is has an even bigger bias in favour of the left.
