The Telegraph would rather run the country into the ground for their own benefit and to kill Labour than actually report the facts.
Yet people will believe their reporting in relation to the economy as gospel but when it comes to Manly they get it all wrong.
Have not purchased the Tele in any form or Fox in almost 20yrs.
The DT ran hard for Rudd to win 2007 and kick the Libs out of office.
How does that match your definitive statement on them?
I agree it's a rubbish paper, but the hyperbole is misleading.

Tele sales down by 11% I think i read last week, Courier mail down by 17%. maybe the people are waking up to their crap.
I don't read it or view it online.
All papers are taking a hit, with people drifting online, thus the push for paying to read their sites.
But despite the decreases, the News stable percentage losses are less than the Fairfax titles.
There are always exceptions to the rule but it is obvious more often than not(well beyond more often than not) they are right wing and not balanced.
Off the back of high interest rates relative to large house loans and public sentiment they went with labour as it was going to sell papers in that period. Once in power straight off the mark back into normal cruise control as that sells papers also.
You never hear about the high interest rates of the Fraser years beyond what Keating had to deal with(people were lucky it was capped at I think 13.5% and not paying real rates), they could not control the Unions, had double digit inflation and unemployment and running deficits.
You don't hear the surpluses we finally achieved just before the recession(we had to have and I agree), it all gets swept aside.
Oh and the Govt Dept that also included Fraser debt but promoted as "Labours Debt"
My Political views are both sides of politics are crap just the right are better at twisting the truth than the left.
