All whilst News has wrecked the revenue of the Adelaide Messenger titles to the point of cutbacks and closures.
All their own managerial incompetence, nothing to do with digital disruption, they should’ve seen it coming 20 yrs ago.

Down and down the plughole they go.
I wonder if it’s related to the backlash its papers have received for their bushfire coverage?

I’m fucking livid about what News Crap has done to the puzzle page in the Daily Telegraph as of today. I assume they’ve done it in all of their mastheads. They’ve dumbed the crosswords down significantly to the point where they aren’t even a challenge. The “big one” is not so big anymore. The old word jumble has been replaced by a simplified anagram puzzle without the clever pun cartoon. I imagine they received lots of hostile feedback today. Looks like those cheapskates have ended some syndication agreements.

A “bikie boss” wouldn’t know hurt even if he or she was six feet under. They have no morality.

And who is going to relentless pursue them until they go into receivership?
Shouldn’t GetUp be going after both Coles and Woolworths?
Because I’m pretty sure both of Australia’s top supermarket chains spend heaps of money on full page ads in the News Corp press.

Woolworths also has pokies, which GetUp is also pretty against.
