I am sure that there were ex-ABC journalists that at least worked as staffers for the coalition but I'm frankly too tired to be bothered looking.

I think I might agree with that.

Indeed we all do, but *journalist* are supposed to report the FACTS. Not the facts as they would like them to be, that is just pure dishonest.

Well, perhaps that has changed from what I was taught. All I have to do now to be a complete expert on anything is to have a press badge and express MY feelings on any issue to the wage slaves who don't have time to do the research while trying to keep their lives together.

And they wonder why their respect is in the toilet with anyone who bothers to do the research on any given issue when they could do so themselves, but what they think / feel / want is what the news has become, not the facts.

Sad, sad state of affairs. I want to make my decisions on facts not how someone else feels.

Sigh...
