Hammer, nail, head!! It is depressing to see how journalism standards have been trashed and forgotten in Australia. I think a perfect example came from James Masala. Just a week before voters gave Scott Morrison the Khyber, Fairfax's chief political reporter wrote a vomit-triggering puff piece on 'the lovely Jenn'. He actually opined that if only more voters could meet Jen, Scotty would have a "job for life". Imagine : if a top political journo had served up such a pile of steaming horse-shit to readers 30 years ago, he would have been laughed out of the National Press Club.

"Like the ABC? Like people who are supposed to be Jane Norman?"

Bravo Joel. One of the very people who is supposed to do the analysis complains that we don't have anyone in Australia doing the analysis. Why does she continue to draw a salary?
