I don't count any of Murdoch's papers as 'fair-dinkum' "news" papers because they don't print real news on serious topics but 70% of papers sold + channel 10 & Foxtel and you have a large media platform. Add Rinehart/Stokes to that and you have a monopoly.
I see with your single supposed example of bias you've missed out where Murdoch's own journalists went on strike because they couldn't stomach the anti-Gough bias or where only last year the Tele photo shopped the sitting Labor PM as a Nazi on the front page.

Hahaha! He also said that his company in the UK didn't hack phones or pay off police, and that it was just one rogue journalist, and that his appearance at Leveson was the most humble day of his life. Oh the hilarity.

The facts are that Carter & co removed the measured global warming signal from their data by taking the derivative (you know what doing that means right?) and then claimed that they proved there was no global-warming signal! It's not even subtle and it's academically dishonest.

Please provide details so we can have a look (& probably a laugh).
