What's next, a story about what people say on Aus Property Forum? lol
Been done...

Jennifer Duke: Am I overreacting to personal comments made on Australian Property Forum?
1. Epic Fail! Steve Keen's Bad Calls and Predictions.
2. Residential property loans regulated by NCCP Act. Banks can't margin call unless borrower defaults.
3. Housing is second highest taxed sector of Australian Economy. Renters subsidised by highly taxed homeowners.
4. Ongoing improvement in housing affordability. Australian household formation faster than population growth since 1960s.

Crap. The newsroom has been pumping out sanitized rubbish for 100 years. Mass media is and always has been in the pocket of big business and government interests. Look at all the money they waste going up in choppers to report on traffic conditions. "The SE Freeway is heavy this morning" Like every other morning at 8am DUH! Why not spend these funds on reporters investigating real news? Because they don't want to report real news, they just want to keep the current culture on track and herd the people in the directions that serve their masters.

Bid up those houses
Get behind the Iraq war
Mass immigration in Gooood for Austalia
Buy a new car you tight arse
Look Look! A kitten stuck up a tree in Bangladesh

It's all worthless drivel.
+1.

These companies will just have to keep on downsizing in order to survive.

They're just glorified cleo magazines with a bit of news, and that news is simply skewed to what the rich what you to hear. Somehow even the ABC and SBS is skewed to what the rich want you to hear.

There is a hole in the market for an anti mass immigration news source, but your standard anti mass immigration person isn't a brainwashed chardonnay socialist journalist and probably has a real job.

There's this one that started recently, paid for by unions I think.

More garbage.

More lefty shit.

I think the problem is at unis, the chardonnay socialist left has a stranglehold on our youth at uni. But the Libs won't change that, as chardonnay socialists are primarily just useful idiots, supporting mass immigration for the housing ponzi and to keep wages suppressed.

I'm surprised you subscribe to the Age Elastic. Fairfax is just a real estate brochure with some lefty shit tacked on.

I use http://library.pressdisplay.com/pressdisplay/viewer.aspx

Todays paper in paper format from just about every paper in the world for FREE

The only details needed are a barcoad/library card number, but I have found any 8 digit number works including 12345678
Interesting. I'll have to keep that one in mind.

Another pay-wall bypass method for the Fairfax sites, for those with good reflexes: Wait for the page content to load and then, in the split second before the popup script fires, hit the Escape key. The popup will not appear and you can read the page. It works in IE. I haven't tried other browsers. Yes, I know private browsing is easier, but I enjoy a small challenge.

At the moment I tend to think that Murdoch and the corporations are a bigger threat to freedom than the chardonnay socialists.
At least the socialists tend to be interested in the greater good even though their ideas are sometimes misplaced.

Kind of like a mini online game :D

I wonder if connection speed alters the ability to do that.

Since we are talking about cheating the internet, I have found that when an image you would like to save is 'member blocked', you can usually drag the image down into a minimized folder without any reduction in quality.

You've got it backwards.

Those that will survive based on current trends are those that regurgitate 'content marketing', thus diluting the quality of news even further.

The issue is people (with exception) wont pay for quality journalism. That perception needs to be changed.


no, the revenue is just allowing them to hold in there a bit longer. i think the printed paper will be gone in 10 years.

the real issue is that people no longer know what quality journalism looks like. or maybe they never did. telling people what they want to hear is more profitable and less troublesome.

I think they only care about a subset of people.

Arts degree types, teachers, and tradies and the like.

Also I think they're just generally awful at what they do. I think they're just another mafia family. Where once you get on top you just put your snout in the trough and don't give a fuck.

Decline in printed paper circulation isn't the issue either - the issue is being able to fund quality journalism.

At the moment, you might not care right now about paying a very modest subscription fee - you might just move onto a news provider that doesn't have a paywall. But they are all in exactly the same boat with regards to revenue and quality journalism will suffer the same widespread fate in the end if we continue on our current trajectory.

Do you prefer to support the tabloid/advertorial approach to news Timmy?

As an aside, a huge amount of former SME advertising revenue has gone into the pockets of a global monopoly which pays no tax (Google), who provide nothing more than an aggregation service for it's news service.

It's not the solution at all. I would prefer to get my news from the likes of Kate McClymont, David Marr or Laurie Oakes as opposed to the semi coherent, poorly structured and short of facts anecdotes I read from 'Peter from Perth'

You know that Blogs and Forums generally have no charter nor onus to report facts, don't you?

Australian Property Forum is an economics and finance forum dedicated to discussion of Australian and global real estate markets and macroeconomics, including house prices, housing affordability, and the likelihood of a property crash. Is there an Australian housing bubble? Will house prices crash, boom or stagnate? Is the Australian property market a pyramid scheme or Ponzi scheme? Can house prices really rise forever? These are the questions we address on Australian Property Forum, the premier real estate site for property bears, bulls, investors, and speculators. Members may also discuss matters related to finance, modern monetary theory (MMT), debt deflation, cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin Ethereum and Ripple, property investing, landlords, tenants, debt consolidation, reverse home equity loans, the housing shortage, negative gearing, capital gains tax, land tax and macro prudential regulation.

Forum Rules: The main forum may be used to discuss property, politics, economics and finance, precious metals, crypto currency, debt management, generational divides, climate change, sustainability, alternative energy, environmental topics, human rights or social justice issues, and other topics on a case by case basis. Topics unsuitable for the main forum may be discussed in the lounge. You agree you won't use this forum to post material that is illegal, private, defamatory, pornographic, excessively abusive or profane, threatening, or invasive of another forum member's privacy. Don't post NSFW content. Racist or ethnic slurs and homophobic comments aren't tolerated. Accusing forum members of serious crimes is not permitted. Accusations, attacks, abuse or threats, litigious or otherwise, directed against the forum or forum administrators aren't tolerated and will result in immediate suspension of your account for a number of days depending on the severity of the attack. No spamming or advertising in the main forum. Spamming includes repeating the same message over and over again within a short period of time. Don't post ALL CAPS thread titles. The Advertising and Promotion Subforum may be used to promote your Australian property related business or service. Active members of the forum who contribute regularly to main forum discussions may also include a link to their product or service in their signature block. Members are limited to one actively posting account each. A secondary account may be used solely for the purpose of maintaining a blog as long as that account no longer posts in threads.
