"surely a Journo's job is to report the facts in a balanced way"...

"If we don’t stop them, who will?"

Er.... ASIC will. Or will at least try. That's their job and now they are trying to stop JK (NK) from being a Director of a company they regulate on account of his behavior. This is a fact.

"surely a Journo's job is to report the facts in a balanced way" - Are you serious? You do not report facts in a balanced way. The facts are either reported or they are not, - and a journo's job is more than reporting facts and includes analysis, commentary and OPINION (caps for the witch hunt crowd) - oh and for rear window i'll add scuttlebutt.
