Whilst I agree that all three of those websites are good news services, SBS and increasingly the ABC are really quite left wing. |
I wonder if it's the same in Australia as it is here.
In the US 40% of newscasters and reporters label themselves as left wing VS 25% as right wing.
A somewhat leftwing bias in news reporting seems "natural". Though worth noting that it is going to be bias vs what the regular person watching the news is going to think.
Me, I don't like TV media. They never stick on the interesting parts and since it's on TV they can't link back to the source.
It's what I like about "legitamite" internet media. Their source is the origin and they link to it, often a paper or poll online where you can review the news yourself directly.
What I hate are the blog spincircles though that just quote something they read off another blog, who read it off another blog, who read it off another blog who read it off a legitamite site.
It takes forever to get back to a real source... and if it's 3 months later or less? Forget about it since one of the blogs in the chain likely no longer exists.
