smh is no longer the SMH that I used to know. They should pay me to read their polarised articles.
^^THIS^^
Lol I agree, just posting the deal
yep - too many "Opinion" articles from so-called journalists …
They have gone woke, all about diversity, asylum seeker rights, sexual harassment and indigenous affairs.
There is nothing on the web site you can’t get for free, no deal.
? Smh has always been about that….the only surprising thing is they didn't take it down a peg when Channel 9 purchased them.
Well they are owned by 9 Entertainment now…
even if they paid me, I wouldn't
I wouldn't mind getting a 3 days a week paper subscription to the SMH, but they insist that one of those 3 days has to be airhead Sunday.
This is really only good for firewood kindling.
Quilton is far better
At least it's Fairfax and not Murdoch's News Corp drivel.
I'm not sure anymore if they're more neutral than News Corp.
This is true
They're all pretty conservatively biased
Actually, its Nine Entertainment Co. Its no longer a news business, but an entertainment one.
So what are the best sources of information apart from Reddit / Google news / Guardian etc for Aus news?
Age
Australian
AFR
SMH / Ch9
News
Saturday
???ABC?
lefties
Michael West, Guardian, ABC.
Jordies not bad
Read them all with a grain of salt, go look at the source of the news if you can and make up your own mind.
When you go check you often find they are lying to you.
If you're reading only one paper, you're always only going to get one side. Read more than one and read them all objectively. That's just my 2c - no point turning this political and distracting from a pretty good deal
Yep and watch Sky News for shits and giggles.
It's odd how the ABC has zero conservative presenters/hosts last I checked, and conservative guests are inevitably there to be mocked etc…..yet Sky News seems happy enough to have progressive people from the other side of politics on like Nicholas Reece or Stephen Conroy as regular co-hosts, hell one of their hosts is a transgender (while the ABC saves transgenders for clownish drag shows etc).
Yet Sky News Bad, right?
True, there is no journalism without some sort of inherent bias, but people like to read what they want to read
If you really want to get fuller picture you’d be regularly reading a lefty and righty publication(s), something like say the australian + the guardian, I’d consider those 2 to be polar opposites in views but with journalists who know their base and interests really well
Sometimes when I click on an article, just to read only that. I have to scroll through 8 different news just to get to it. The reason I clicked on that article is because I want to read that only.
Why you pay for premium? Crossword lovers?
You can read any SMH article just by going to incognito mode… you gotta dig through the trash to find the factual stuff
Just get a paywall bypass and read for free. Biased agenda based "journalism" doesn't deserve our support.
Being able to pirate is no reason to down vote a deal
Fake News:P
It blows my mind that someone hasn't started a completely factual/unbiased online media company as much as that's possible. How difficult would it be to employ people whether they are left or right who are generally in the centre and use old fashioned rules of only publishing verified information? I guess these days without exciting headlines/clickbait you just aren't getting any revenue and if you actually take the time to verify information properly you are late to the party. How many times do you go looking for info only to go down a rabbit hole of click bait/highly opinionated articles, drives me insane.
Appreciate the incognito mode tip I'm gonna try that next time I hit a paywall.Like AP and Reuters?
They've been around since the 1850s.Lmao. You really believe that too, hey 😂
The truth is boring no one will read it. People want to read about the guy the punched a horse in the head not about a guy that tried to block a horse being directed into him LOL
The problem with that is your new MSM will be too leftish for the right and too rightish for the left and will end up in the same pile as SMH when you start trying to pander to both.
I didnt mind reading SMH many many years ago (when Kerry Packer was around) - it's only gone downhill with poor copy/paste journalism.
Sad.Is SMH far left?
So many articles with fake titles and copy paste articles - waste of time
smh
