Here Isn't The News

Now that my news websites are asking me to subscribe to them, in order to access their content, I'm finding I can glean all the information I really need from just the headline to the story - with no real need to click on it for any more detail advertising, unrelated video footage with more advertising & the same bit of actual information re-phrased 3 or 4 times to pad the story out so another advertisement can trail down the side of the page as I read it...



As you can see, today, it's not what I'd call essential reading...

Fortunately, the Australian Broadcasting Commission also runs a news website. They are officially owned & funded by the Federal government, but are legally bound to provide balanced, unbiased reporting - something that both Liberal & Labor governments have accused the ABC of not doing over the last 40 years that I can remember, so they must be doing something right, if neither side is happy...



Notice anything?? No 'stories' that are nothing but puff pieces for TV shows, no celebrity gossip masquerading as 'news' &... NO ADVERTISING!!!!

And they aren't asking me to pay for it - well, not any more than my Federal taxes help pay for it already...
