It is little wonder that so many journalists are held in such contempt by the Aust public. Whilst we have a few good journos, most are held at the same level as a lump of dog doodoo stuck to the bottom of somebody's shoe. They seem to be low on intellect/education, low on actual research, high on opinion which they are not qualified to give, and all searching for the big scoop.Then there is all the politically unbalanced reporting. I fear it will be a long long time before an Aussie journo ever gets a Pulitzer prize for journalism.
