Australia’s newest bi-weekly national paper lives up to its promises
Last Friday Dr Mumbo was surprised to learn that a new national newspaper The Australian National Review, was set for a low-key launch.
So, it transpires, was his newsagent, who asked him what exactly the new paper he was stocking was, when he went to buy the first edition of Australia’s only bi-weekly Saturday morning national newspaper.
Ahead of the first edition its editor promised that it would have “news with a difference” and it certainly delivers on that pledge.
The front page of Saturday’s inaugural edition featured a stern faced Vladimir Putin, with its splash written by the newspaper’s founder and entrepreneur Jamie McIntyre (who incidentally is the only byline to appear in the first 15 or so pages of the newspaper).
I’m embarrassed to say I paid $3.50 for this. Suffice to say, never again.
The writer also subbed it, I’d guess by the heading in the image above – Had with a capital H, sigh…
I think it’s about time we are informed with the truth. I have spoken with some work colleges who also read this in the office today and they are also very pleased that there is finally a media company not scared to write the truth. I am looking forward to the next one.
Thanks for the alert. I’ll look for it. Gotta be better than Newscorpse propaganda.
Canadian Article is a great hypothetical not only on Ukraine but it’s sister conflict over NATO wanting to build the Nubucco Gas Pipeline from Qatar through Syria to Austria in order to subvert the Gas from Russia that has just been cut off in Ukraine – see page 30 https://www.dropbox.com/s/hpvgf9wdx8ltjnn/Minstry%20of%20Energy.ppt?dl=0 23 Million dead Syrians is a small price to pay for Australia’s LNG (Gorgon etc) to gain as good as a monopoly on the already premium priced East Asian LNG market.
I wouldn’t touch this, 99% Jamie mcIntyre propaganda with a few pointless articles on the side. That masthead is there to trick people who really want to read the financial review.
