The Australian newspaper describes itself as one that presents both sides of an issue, or is balanced. In reality it is part of the left-leaning media in Australia but is a little more clever in how it does this. Yes it does publish the occasional article towards the centre of the political spectrum but if you examine what is written, what is published, and what is contained in the letters you can find an obvious bias to the left.
As time permits this blog will analyse some of the content of The Australian to point out where this bias lies and correct or add comment to what is written. There will also be the occasional letter to the editor, unpublished of course, to show how the editor inserts bias in the selection process.
