The people rarely get it wrong
Unlike Klaas Woldring, (Peninsula News, May 27) I don't think media mogul Rupert Murdoch is really interested in politics.
I believe he would do a deal with the devil or Mao Tse Tung if there was a quid to be made.
In any case, politicians have beaten hostile newspapers; the most notable was Franklin Delano Roosevelt in his historic third term of office.
Another factor to consider is that most of the younger generation don't read newspapers and rarely watch television, so if they're idealistic, they will vote ALP or Green anyway.
In my book, in a democracy, the people are a good judge.
They rarely get it wrong.
