bias...well, I'm reminded of Gandhi's reply when asked what he thought of Western civilisation. For regarding the existence of an unbiased 'The Australian' newspaper, I think it would be a very good idea. ateday : New Dimension : 12 Feb 2010 8:59:25pm Mad Dog Janet Albrechtsen and and Keith Windshuttle are actually far right wing (In his youth Windshuttle was left wing). As for distorting appointments why dont you look at all the political appointments made to the ABC board during the Howard years. Additionally The Australian not being bias?

The man is so biased, towards Howard, that he spouted monumental gibberish about Rudd being a house of cards, a shiny but useless Ferrari, on AM, despite the continuous, damning stream of polls which showed him to be plain deluded.
