Actually pericles, I like to think I'm reasonably near the centre but definitely on the left side, but I find most of the 'left wing' papers a bit insipid. I very rarely read The Age or the SMH, preferring The Australian over either.

I must admit I do prefer the ABC to the other netowrks, but I'd still say that's an issue of superior quality not political direction, though no doubt many of the hardcore anti-ABC right wingers would disagree.

Fair enough, plenty of people do just choose media they can barrack for (enter Alan Jones) though I think the quality, or perhaps I should rephrase that as content, angle is just as important.
