"It also means they can be biased in their political programs AGAINST the MAJORITY and still get paid. ...Fairfax has paid the price for going against the majority politically. Compare their share price to Murdoch's. Big difference."
ZT that is not imo a sensible proposition. What you are proposing is a biassed approach to reporting. If you expect the media to frame their approach to the majority view at any given time, that would be absolutely stupid in terms of unbiassed news reporting.
In terms of Fairfax you are not comparing apples with apples. Fairfax is not a global conglomerate like Newscorp. I would not be surprised if the Newsprint arm of Newscorp in Australia is not struggling as are most of the broadsheet newspapers. Newscorp has interests all over the world in both the print, electronic media and entertainment business.
