Fairfax Media’s Australian metropolitan print business, including flagship mastheads The Age and The Sydney Morning Herald,  is worthless despite a dramatic restructuring, in the eyes of Deutsche Bank analyst

<s>Jabba</s> Gina doesn't seem to agree... coincidence?

[IQS.RLOW]

The fact that she wants a degree of editorial control just shows the leftist experiment hasn't worked.

The left don't pay for anything...only whinge about that which others will pay for

It's a hard life, when you've got to pay for your 'truth' to be told.

Which is exactly what the leftist media have been doing...funnily enough with Fairfax shareholders (read other peoples) money...like true lefties

You realize the fall of fair fax just means the rise of the ABC, don't you?

Us Latte sipping, broadsheet reading hipster lefties aren't going to suddenly start reading the herald sun just because the age is going to ask us to pay to read online only editorials about Gina's family circus. We will just find other free (read taxpayer funded) liberal media service to serve us up our daily dose of Greenie guilt and socialist agenda. Abc news online should do the job.

People don't agree with what they read, the read what they agree with.

At least the ABC is supposed to have a charter of airing both sides...not that it seems to stick to

Exactly, a study commissioned a few years ago actually found a slight Liberal bias in ABC reporting.

These things are all relative. According to IQS, any media who isn't constantly slagging off at and lying about Labor/Greens (ie., anyone left of Alan Jones or Piers Ackerman) is a Labor party stooge. The great majority of our media is owned and controlled by big business interests, so no surprise as to their inherent bias.

I can just imagine the squealing that would happen if it was the AWU who were trying to take over a media company

You mean relative that the left cheer squad isnt commecially viable because no one wants to buy their rubbish?
