Have to agree,....reminds me of the Fox News spiel - "Fair and Balanced"....ie, "Unfair and Unbalanced".

In addition to your point regards Fox Media, Keith should note it is also owned by Murdoch.

Keith are you beginning to see a pattern emerge here?

Maybe this will help:

Very good article. But I feel the 600,000 informal votes could have seen a difference in the result. This was recommended by ousted former
ALP leader, Mark Latham. And certainly the media are having a hay day
over the recent announcement by the National party MPs that they won't
necessarily vote for any coalition legislation. Now I feel that is because they have felt like the 'poor relation' in the Lib/Nat coalition. And that is why former National party members are now Independents. Neither party had a good campaign, they talk about the
national debt, is nothing as one poster said. And the Liberals had
a surplus, but spent little on infrastructure. It's like you earn
100,000 dollars a year and pay off your 100,000 mortgage, "I'm not in
debt..you say proudly...but your wife reminds you, they haven't eaten
for three days and can't afford to run the car..." Abbott has announced he won't continue with Broadband networks, well that is important to some bush areas. Energy is another factor, the Regional
areas already pay more for energy or electricity for the distance it has to travel. Water - the life blood of Oz... ownership of water and agricultural land by foreign countries is another factor. No governments perfect... but basic factors are important as well as health.

I don't hate anything or anyone. Some of my best friends come from the bush ... yes yes I know ... farming produces heaps but so does tourism, education and mining. Those activites don't have political parties or independants proporting to solely and exclusively represent them, their employees and families and their interests. From that aspect ... well you might get my drift.

Yes Johnny there is a pattern. Labor supporters and other lefties don't like fair and balanced reporting.

CJ, Poirot and Johnny R. since you don't dispute my evaluation of Australians choice am I to understand you agree with moi and of my views of Austins article?
