I have a distaste for Murdoch's offerings because of the way his media outlets internationally, including The Australian, have been used as overt political weapons* (eg. Iraq war, children overboard, coverage of the last Federal election where his outlets, most obviously Sky News, seemed to be a branch of one of the major parties) for as long as I can recall, and the fact that he would like to have no competition (eg. as he does with Foxtel, hence their overpricing).
(Having said that I understand The Australian does have its merits, and I looked again at "The Daily" yesterday on the iPad and its improved hugely since its very recent launch.)
*and not to mention widespread illegal phone tapping!
ps I'm VERY HAPPY with my 87% OFF/$49pa Thu-Sun copies of "THE AGE" thanks to another Ozbargain :)
