Who's Taking Pot Shots Now

The Australian's double standards are truly amazing. After attacking the ABC and Fairfax for 'teaming up' against News Limited and commercial TV:

'The choice of items clearly demonstrates a political nexus exists between the ABC and Fairfax that in turn fosters a culture of lazy investigations based on taking pot shots at commercial television and News Limited papers.'

The Australian two days later launches this pot shot against The Age:

'But it radiates hypocrisy to denounce the Government over nuclear energy while warning of the dangers of greenhouse gas. This appears to have escaped The Age, where the coal-powered electric lights are on but no-one seems to be home.'

There's of course nothing new in this, but given that this jibe has been written two days after it's recent whinge it would appear that the editors over at The Australian don't even know they're doing it anymore. It's like eating now, or going to the toilet. They must arrive at the office and automatically begin to ponder the various topics through which they can lambast Fairfax, the ABC, the Left and Robert Manne because this would simply be the only way for them to deliver any comment at all. Otherwise they'd be lost.
