So long as Fairfax harbours the likes of Paul Sheehan it is not worth pissing on, let alone saving.
Pity about the other journos. but they could always do something more useful than supply bland drivel for the equivalent of a free suburban lifestyle throwaway.

AR +100. The reason we have a piss poor government is because of piss poor churnalists and those who struggle to make stenographer status. Our response don’t buy or accept crappy products. In the long term Fairfax will wither and even the likes of Mr Sheehan will be looking for a job.

I still can’t work out why journalists are being sacked when Fairfax have suffered from almost 29 years of gross mismanagement at the very top. This is the long tail of young Warwick Fairfax’s folly and all that was unleashed as a consequence.

JMEN@3 – Excellent point, but those at the top, currently the truly space wasting oxygen thief Goodsir and the previous whose name I’ve, thankfully, forgotten (Tom something), who were never more than pretty piss-poor journos. but their brown noses kept them employed.
