Must be Friday
The conclusion of The Australian’s editorial:
Many senior people at The Australian know well the work, the habits and the hubris of Sally Neighbour and Louise Milligan.

It has to be. Think of the opposite qualities to answer why. The subjects of good journalism, of important journalism, lie and dissemble. Good journalists do not. They rely on the truth. They yearn for it. But they understand the limits. In many respects the natural enemy of a journalist, aside from a public relations hack, or a political flack, is the defamation lawyer. The most dangerous enemy of the journalist is bad, lazy, deceitful journalism.
