Disgraceful bias, misinformation and misuse of power by Murdoch lickspittles . We live in a Murdochracy, not a Democracy.
Hmmm… don’t believe what you read in the newspaper…
Just a personal comment on the Courier Mail:
Back in 2000 my cousin submitted a death notice for my uncle, Vince Englart, to the Courier Mail for publication. The paper refused to publish it. So I wrote an obituary on my uncle instead and submitted it for publication to the Sydney Morning Herald. It was accepted, even though the obit was about a Brisbane person. The Courier Mail refusal to publish the death notice I used as the lead-in for the obituary. It seems you can’t even pay the Courier Mail for some unbiased coverage once your dead, but thanks to Fairfax at least my uncle’s story was told. The obituary is archived at my website here:

Really there’s no reason for anyone to buy the Courier Mail, of the Sydney Daily Telegraph or The Australian, or watch Fox News, or any of the tripe Murdoch produces. Murdoch made a conscious business decision that he would only produce right wing propaganda (unfortunately they are still called “newspapers”). So really, he is just limiting his own sales. Not sure how smart that is. Unless he thought it was more worthwhile owning the Australian Government. Because he also made a conscious decision that he would be the one to determine who will hold government in Australian States and the Commonwealth. And of course, he votes Republican/Tea Party – cos he’s an American.
We need to keep pointing out how offensively right wing Murdoch’s press is, and make sure no-one accidentally buys any of it.
That list of the Courier Mail headlines is a magnificent illustration of how far ‘journalism’ has fallen. It should be used by teachers of journalism to show how the process can be corrupted. And that should be the only legacy of the Courier Mail.
