The Age declares it left wing credentials
Whenever I read the Blog and admin use The Age as its paper of influence - it tells us all they too lean left as often commented upon in replies.
" The Age" has long held that policy, not personality, is the core of our democracy. It is on this basis that we advocate a vote for Labor in the federal election on Saturday. We do so fully acknowledging that the Coalition under Tony Abbott has run a disciplined and competent campaign, and that after six years of Labor government the electorate is wary and weary of Labor's infighting. Yet we cannot endorse a party that advocates policies with which we fundamentally disagree."
Pity they dont follow the first sentence and go for policies not personalities which obvious to blind Freddy they are doing as have run a "hate Abbott" campaign and advocate voting Labor.
Seems they are the only Fairfax paper to do so.
Bit dumb of them. Likely to lose readers which means money in their case. Comments show this too.
Who will disagree with cutting Foreign Aid?
Just one of the very sensible policies on offer.
The Age for some time now , too long , have had Costello and Vanstone doing articles which needless to say are nothing but lib bias tripe . Unlike Murdoch press Val or the snake you seem to admire the flakey Bernardi the Age will not have a hate abbo campaign .
Yet we cannot endorse a party that advocates policies with which we fundamentally disagree."
You are on planet Bolt if you see any hate in the Age comment .
