Mmm... Stereotype much? I see why you don’t mind the newscorp news.

Then ACCC is far from in the right here; this seems to be being driven by political motivations, not some motivation to do the best for Australia / Australians.

The ACCC has plenty of opportunity to explain why it’s better this way, and don’t seem to have clearly articulated it.

“Better for democracy” or “better for newscorp”? You tell me; why the ABC and SBS are excluded from this?

...because that’s what the government wants. The ACCC Looks increasingly like it’s just a mouthpiece.

I don't like the newscorp news actually. But it is revealing that you would think this. One might suspect we just have different views on who should be controlling things in this case. I am not as confident as I suspect you might be about who should be controlling media access. But I think google is being very disingenious in their letter, and the ACCC seems far less so.
