Glug, the newsworthyness of the ABC, Channel 7 and some newspapers leaves a lot to be desired. I am accutely aware that news is filtered and prioritized very carefully before it goes public. The bias is outrageous, particularly when you hear on the radio a major story and it doesn't appear on the evening news,or if it does it is watered down or 'flowered' over. Last Thursday night a house burned down in Western Sydney after just having insulation installed. The radio reported the incident and indicated it was being investigated. No other media reports have been forthcoming. This is just one example, but it does seem to happen with great regularity. This govt is a master at surpressing documents and correspondence all in the name of self preservation.
