He had observed that people who did lie were, on the whole, more resourceful and ambitious and successful than people who did not lie. -
Ho ho ho you're smarter and better than me! Let's move on. If you don't like the scholars and academics of RWO, join Oprah's Book Club or whatever takes your fancy.Comment

I was thinking Elyse Perry and Sally Pierson for the mids and maybe Lauren Jackson and Liz Cambage for the KP's and Rucks.Comment

Just read this thread. We can all come together and see yet another glaring example of the corporate agenda media, dumbing down the population to the point of coma and not only refusing to report real news, but making every effort to conceal it. The differences in the publications people are describing are purely cosmetic, designed to tailor the same brainwashing to different demographics. Exactly like political parties and the naive belief that they are different.
There's a million awesome stories they could have written about the Swans, but they choose to trash a dude's reputation unfairly to peddle smut to the narcissistic Facebook-obsessed, McDonald's eating, Kesha-listening, X-factor viewing, child-injecting, GMO-loving, propaganda-believing sheeple."Take me down to the Paradise City where the grass is green and the Swans win pretty."Comment

I can sum things up this way: The world sucks. Another Swans Premiership is the only thing worth living for. (This post not to shown to family members).Comment

The world doesn't suck, humans suck. I hate people a lot but i have to co-exist with what i call a parasite on this earth. we don't even need a purpose no more, we just exist to basically suck.Comment

Try the Guardian's Australian site- it's decent, when Fairfax confirmed they would be popping in the paywall after 30 views per month they actually accelerated the development of their site so that it coincided with the change, knowing they'd be targeting a pretty similar demographic.
If you haven't cottoned on to it for smh/age yet (this is probably old news, I'm sure), the quickest way to switch is to just change the domain name of the masthead in the URL-
the 3 stories below are all identical, only the domain name changed and all count as 1 story view against a different site.

A moderately nifty little thing I thought of recently, too, is if you like to read state/national news you can bookmark the pages from one of the other mastheads and the content will be the same- so use Victoria News and you'll have the same stories as Victoria News except it will counts as page views under the smh.com.au domain instead of theage.com.au- likewise with bookmarking something like AFL News, Scores, Stats, Transfers | Real Footy to view the footy news page- then if you just go to theage.com.au you can browse and click through on general stories/info and will probably find you last out the month from splitting out your 2 or 3 main areas of interest into under the other domains.
I honestly don't want to climb up on any high horse over this but it is my humble opinion that a credible alternate view to Murdoch is critical and worth the price of a beer a week.Comment
