The mainstream media has lost all credibility as a supplier of genuine news stories and factual information. Newspapers (with the exception of The Australian and The Telegraph) are just echo chambers for government propaganda and spin.

Investigative journalists are thin on the ground and most are simply cut-and-paste merchants. This is borne out in the lies they print about the non-existent problem of man-made climate change.

Television stations fare no better, with the ABC the worst of a bad bunch. ABC TV and radio are blatantly biased and nothing more than a Left wing love fest of all things Labor.

So where do people go to find the facts and information they deem important in their daily lives? To the blogs and online news websites, of course.
