A tale of two Gordons 08:44am on 19 Jun 2009 Old Hermit,

With regard to my reference to the Echo I intend to highlight a certain 'tone' that I read in British papers from time to time. I detect a tendency to bully. The same thing with my reference to Andrew Bolt. I disagree with you that the blog gives a wider understanding of Australia.
A tale of two Gordons 4:39pm on 15 Jun 2009 Nick, As an Australian currently living in England I am constantly disappointed with the items that the BBC choose to run as 'Australian news items'. I thought that this blog might open things up a little, especially given the fact that you (Nick) are actually located in Australia. Perhaps I was under the impression that you might be able to give some insight beyond what we might be able to read on The Age, The Australia, Sydney Morning Herald and the BBC news websites. Sadly not. You only manage to pin point any aspect of Australian culture, news, politics that may shed an unfavorable light on the place and people. The sort of stuff I might expect to read in the Liverpool Echo or from Andrew Bolt at the Herald Sun. Perhaps that's the intention of the blog?
