so what is it that Fairfax and the ABC do that gets up your nose?????that you go so far as to say they should be..
MUZZLED>.. aka Nth Korea...

This really stokes my anger that JULIAR will find new lows in attacking freedom of speech across the press, ALL BECAUSE SHE IS ON THE RECIEVING END OF IT BECAUSE OF HER LIES, HER BLUNDERS, HER DISASTERS, so find other ways to restrict the freedom of press,

I hope to high hell, that come september 14 that Juliar and this stupid labor party will get a such A HUUUUUGE KICK FROM THE ELECTORATE THAT THE SHOCKWAVES FROM IT WILL CONTINUE FOR YEARS TO COME.

Not sure where mumadiagenic came from, think my computer made it up.

Yes I was a journo for 25 years that is why I don't trust the bastards, I know them too well.

Of course the media is screaming about press freedom. That shows how scared they are. Regulation doesn't have to be a threat to press freedom. All it requires is that they adhere to ethical standards and can be caned if they do not.

Self regulation is the cave into which any industry retreats when threatened. If the media believes in self reg why weren't they doing it already?
