There is a huge amount of contentious content, being thrown up on the mainstream media websites at the moment, all at the same time usually they stick to a theme. Interesting.

I like the layout and just reading through the cover summaries, they don't appear to be sensationalising anything, do you find they lean left, lean right, or are fairly neutral in their reporting?Any in these forums using Gound News;

i will read up a bit when I get some time and give my thoughts, as I don't follow any media it should let me gauge how I think they report an article, something like the gazza issue I haven't read anything other than snippets and i know the history very vaguely, so I will use that to try and get an impression.
Thanks for the link.
One thing I have already noticed is that the exact article is reported twice, once credited to a left leaning press and once by a right leaning press, so that instantly makes me wonder how useful the indicator bars attached to the articles are.
But I do like the way it is all presented, looks like a reasonable site.

No it's fine to to have hate talk against Boomers, self funded retirees, White Hetrosexuals, Christians any member of the coalition political parties, Donald Trump, Boris Johnson and now it looks like Netanyahu has joined the media hit list of those who it is acceptable to abuse.
The media did have a problem a few weeks back, when one of it's moral crusaders became disavowed and was placed on the hit list, our sympathy goes out to that champion of doing the right thing and standing up for the downtrodden and whose friends abandoned him when he most needed them, Qantas is still recovering.
The news media, the latest incarnation of the gossip magazine, to entertain, inform and influence those most needy IMO.

SA Health says a cruise liner bound for Adelaide from Queensland is dealing with outbreaks of both COVID-19 and gastroenteritis.
The Grand Princess — operated by Princess Cruises — is expected to arrive in Port Adelaide on Monday.
Grand Princess passenger, Maureen Monk, said there was a lack of communication onboard that she believed created an "unsafe environment" for passengers.
"The communication was not there at all, none of the guests really knew what was going on," she said.
Ms Monk set out on a 14-day cruise around Australia on the Grand Princess but said it became apparent on the second day of her trip that some passengers were becoming unwell.
"The first two days there was nothing in place … we took it upon ourselves to sanitise, which a lot of people weren't doing," she said.
Ms Monk said crew began serving guests food, including at buffets, due to illness and staff were stationed near hand-washing points.
"I felt so sorry for them," she said.
SA Health has not confirmed how many people have been infected with either COVID-19 or gastroenteritis on the ship, which has a total capacity of 4,000 including crew.
Ms Monk said she noticed an increasing number of passengers confined to their rooms.
"There was a cabin across from me that was served breakfast, lunch and dinner for 10 days," she said.
Ms Monk said the captain announced there were COVID-19 cases on board about a week after they said people were sick with gastroenteritis.
"Speaking to other guests, it was quite common that the person they were travelling with was confined, or just come out of confinement, or sick," Ms Monk said.
"If there was two in the room and one was sick, one could leave and one couldn't.
"[The rules] didn't make sense to me."
The ship's operator, Princess Cruises, didn't respond to questions by the ABC.
In a statement, SA Health said the cruise ship operator has strict processes to manage outbreaks of communicable diseases.

A cruise ship that docked in Adelaide this week has garnered national headlines due to a simultaneous outbreak of COVID-19 and gastroenteritis.
Despite the dual illnesses, health authorities declared the outbreak over when the cruise liner docked, while only a handful of passengers, on a ship that can hold 4,000, became ill.
As Australia approaches the summer holiday period, the fate of the Grand Princess has brought holiday illness into the spotlight.
Epidemiologist Professor Catherine Bennett says there are many steps holiday-goers can take to minimise the risk of illness during their time off.

Well the penny is starting to drop, it has taken them a while to wake up to the obvious, I have being saying this about the media and the younger generation for ages.
www.theage.com.au
First, that fewer and fewer people get their information from traditional news sources such as TV, radio and major news organisations. For some it’s a decision based on “news fatigue”. Others escape to streaming services and avoid hard reality.
Second, that public debates and discourse increasingly is fragmented by social media, and the social media platforms that people use are changing constantly.
Third, largely because of points one and two, there’s a growing “disconnect” between political news and voters, said Erickson. In other words, when politicians and advocates speak, it’s less and less likely that voters will hear.
Finally, even if voters do hear, many won’t believe what they’re hearing because the electorate is withdrawing trust from governments and public figures, Erickson said.

Sacked ABC presenter alleges unlawful termination
She'd been filling in as host of the ABC Sydney Mornings radio program this week but was told on Wednesday she was no longer needed for her shifts on Thursday and Friday.
The ABC has strict editorial policies and requires staff to be impartial in their reporting and protect the broadcaster's reputation.
'A thoughtless post or tweet can instantly compromise this perception of impartiality,' the ABC's rules state.
It's understood Ms Lattouf was axed after a string of complaints from the Jewish community regarding anti-Israel posts she shared.

The ABC in more strife, tripping over itself yet again.
ABC staff threaten walkout after WhatsApp messages reveal campaign to oust Lattouf
The public broadcaster says Antoinette Lattouf’s short-term radio-hosting contract was terminated early because she shared a controversial social media post.
ABC journalists have threatened to stage a walkout over the organisation’s handling of complaints against staff, after broadcaster Antoinette Lattouf was sacked three days into a short-term radio-hosting contract over a controversial social media post about the war in Gaza.
About 80 ABC staff met at the broadcaster’s Ultimo headquarters in Sydney on Tuesday afternoon to demand a meeting with managing director David Anderson over the handling of the unfolding situation, and to seek assurances about the transparency of the broadcaster’s complaints process and mechanisms to support staff in the face of criticism.
A potential walkout if staff demands were not met was discussed at the meeting, according to a source speaking anonymously to discuss the matter freely, after this masthead revealed a co-ordinated back-channel campaign by the Lawyers for Israel group to argue for Lattouf’s sacking.
A chain of leaked WhatsApp messages obtained by this masthead shows a letter-writing campaign from pro-Israel lobbyists targeting Anderson and ABC chair Ita Buttrose in the week starting December 18 over Lattouf’s stint on ABC Radio Sydney.
The threat comes after the ABC lodged its legal defence in the Fair Work Commission to Lattouf’s unlawful termination claim and described her application as “fundamentally and entirely misconceived”. The reason she was sacked, the response says, is because she ignored a direction from managers and shared a controversial social media post from Human Rights Watch. Her race or political opinion played no role in her departure, the ABC’s defence says.
The ABC said Lattouf was directed not to post about “matters of controversy” during her five-day contract while covering the Mornings show on ABC Radio Sydney in December. The broadcaster says she failed or refused to comply with this directive.
Cassie Derrick, media director for the Media, Entertainment & Arts Alliance, said staff were demanding answers from Anderson and ABC management.
“Journalists at the ABC are working very hard to tell difficult stories, ethically or without fear or favour, and to be accountable to the public they work for, but they are being let down by management, who are capitulating, it seems, to external bullying,” Derrick said.

That's exactly the problem, the journalists are behaving as they have been for years and all of a sudden the ABC takes exception to it.
They brought the problem on, by condoning the behaviour for years. Lol

The media can be somewhat prone to error when repoorting incidents/accidents in volving aircraft.
To them, it seems all aircraft in the GA category are cessna's.
But there is no execuse for mistaking a jet engine pod for a propeller.
None at all.

Thoughtful, earnest but a bit complicated. in 2018 this was what you needed to do. Today AI and Fake new webs sites make it all a doodle.
