Worse, Hartcher is unrepentant (on the web version):

"The question is not whether journalists take trips; it is whether they disclose them. Disclosure means that readers can take this into account in forming their views. This is the exact opposite of a hidden agenda."

After all these decades, Hartcher comes up clueless.

the piece is so shocking that they probably gave it to him to mount under his name. he was too busy smooching to write it.

Allard, Sheehan, Hartcher; then there's Ben Potter, opinion page

editor at the Fin.

And where is Fairfax management in all this?

And that's before we get to Murdoch.

Repeat after me: 'There's no such thing as an Israel lobby!'

Tom Allard said when he came back from his shill trip that poor little Israel was constantly faced with arbitrary demands from the arabs.

Like food and water, their land back and other incidentals.
