Official: Telegraph stories are biased

By Tim Burrowes

Today’s Sydney Daily Telegraph carries a less than chastened report of a ruling against the paper by the Australian Press Council . (Not that I could find any mention of it in their online edition, mind you).

The newspaper gets told off for its coverage of a protest ride by cyclists in which it published the mobile phone number of the event organiser. The Press Council describes it as a “grievous invasion of privacy”.

But most amusing is that the paper was cleared of presenting opinion as fact in a news story because of the piece’s “obvious bias”

It goes on: “The newspaper agreed an opinion had indeed been expressed in the news story but argued this is now done routinely.” So that’s okay then.

Oh yes, and guess what the headline of the report about the ruling was? “Press Council defends cycling’s selfish traffic fools”. Yup, I’d say that counts as opinion.

I think The Daily Telegraph is written, authorised and approved by the Liberal Party. The guy above got it spot on (all be it colourful), its not a newspaper printing news it the opinion of a very few and a big free advertisment for John Howard and his Liberal Party.

The Daily Telgraph is right wing red neck rat bag rubbish. The only thing that could be true is the date printed at the top of the paper. Anyone who would give their money over to this complete load of trash either has too much money or too little sense. It would easily be the worst English language newspaper in the world with the exception of the Strait Times on Singapore. And as for opinion well the opinion of this garbage is irrelevant crap. Just wait until the APEC meeting and anyone dare attempt any protest. This load of clap trap will be yet again be full of right wing red neck rat bag rot declaring their so called opinion.
I’ve got and idea for them. PRINT THE SHITE ON TOILET PAPER THEN WE COULD USE IT TO WIPE SHITE. THAT WAY IT COULD GO TO A HALF DECENT USE.
