"Terry Ryder is spot on... They are not journalists, although they get paid as such. They are simply goons for cheap advertising. The fairfax papers should charge demographia at advertising rates for the rubbish they send out for free."
You have it backwards Kincella. Print media is a shrinking industry and anyone in that industry can tell you a very significant proportion of advertising revenue is from the real estate industry. Consequently most publications are tantamount to industry shills. After all they don't want to bite the hand that feeds them.
