A few unsystematic declarations.
1. I am beginning to think that The Age stinks. Yes, complaining about the declining tone of a newspaper is an old pastime. Complaining about a nominally left-leaning newspaper even more so (those on the left being ungrateful buggers, forever griping about the unwillingness of the existent, actual world to conform to its not-at-all-defined notion of How Things Should Be). All the same, it goddamn stinks. Queue gripes about sensationalist clap-trap, uninteresting lifestyle blogs, &c.
2. No, that's it, actually. I thought I had a list of insights. But it was just a vehicle for me to put forward my venom about The Age. Carry on.

No catherine, you're right about the Age stinking. It recently won the Newspaper of the Year award in the Asia Pacific. But the Herald Scum won it the last two years previously, so it really is nothing to get excited about.
There are more and more picture. The headlines are getting more sensationalised. The news itself is getting more and more opinionated. It really sucks.
