Journalism hits new low.

[i-need-a-martini]

That newspaper for morons owned by Murdoch, The Daily Telegraph, has decided to run a story that no other journalist/paper was willing to touch for obvious reason - Nathan Rees had an affair.

Given that the story has no public value, why on earth would they do this??

http://www.dailytelegraph.com.au/

And people read this garbage and think it's news??

If Miley Cyrus twerking is world news, why should this not be news?? Why do you think it has no public value??? Someone in a position of power sets an example, why should he be made an example of?

This was on the front page under the heading NATHAN SLEAZE i'm guessing if it was a LNP member it would be in an obscure corner on page 8, if reported at all.

Totally agree, I shake my head sometimes at the headlines of articles that call themselves "news".

News sites often leave a hole in their paywall for people who are referred to the site through search engines. Copy and paste the link to the news story into google, and then click on the link again in the google search results and there you go - full news story without subscribing.

Rully, I hope you're right. I finally learnt something from this forum.

Big, BIG difference in the way it was reported in the SMH in comparison to the Telegraph.

Martini, I think that Nathan Rees conducted himself like a gentleman in the interview following this 'revelation'.

I am not condoning his behaviour but he was forthright and truthfull.
