Whats the story with the Telegraph?

You’ll actually find that News Corp Papers globally are becoming more active in attacking non conservative governments particuarlly in the tabloids. The Times, one of the UK’s most esteimed papers is begining to follow this line as well and heading towards more tabloid style journalism.

i still read the age most days. by accident the newsagent delivered the tele on sunday instead of the ct. it was crapola. still, the sunday ct is also crapola. at least its local crapola and i get a neat tv guide.

I would prefer a wholly Sydney (or Melbourne)-oriented paper to the Canberra Times. The Canberra Times is a like a crap community paper, reporting on the “guild president” Jon Stanhope and his idealistic/naive social schemes, but the paper wants to feel superior by remaining a broadsheet. Its not worth the trouble of folding it to read and certainly not worth the money. It should be tabloid and free like all other community rags.

The telegraph is bought in large numbers in this district, unfortuntaely. Just adding local coverage to appease the fools who buy this paper down here.

The Tele having a go at the ACT government probably has a lot more to do with them having a go at any government which looks vaguely progressive. You can certainly bet that if it were The Liberal Party giving themselves a pay rise or closing schools , there would be no where near the same fuss made by The Telegraph.

Didn’t the SMH try a special Canberra edition one day a week, some years back?
I certainly prefer it to the CT. And the SMH’s website is excellent: the CT one is breathtakingly pathetic.

John Laws did cover the school closures, and linked this to ‘deceiving’ the Sydney poluplace with Jon Stanhope’s campaign to bring people to Canberra for work and golden opportunities. closing 39 schools is a fairly big story.

as opposed to that bastion of intellectual gigantism, the Canberra Times? The so called higher education levels of this town have nothing to do with the Tele’s circulation. Its a Sydney paper, that may be the key

I’d say the SMH would have higher readership in canberra, and it’s also a sydney paper. The Daily Telegraph is just a really shitty paper.

“Today’s Daily Telegraph again hammers Jon Stanhope with a front-page story headline “This Fool Gets a Payrise”….BTW they are talking about Stanhope – picture and all.

Of course Thursday’s headline was ‘STANHOPE-LESS…The economic vandal whore disgraced Government has declared war on Canberra.’”

Thanks for the Heads Up Kimba – The Times has about run it’s course for me – not just editorially but the so called ‘Sales Consultants’ as well – they appear more inept than their journalistic colleagues.

“crap journalism marketed top appeal to the dim of wit and intellectually poor”
