  Does anyone actually think Bernard Keane and Crikey are actually any good?

    @unionagainstdhmo Definitely a bad take by Bernard there.

    As for Crikey as a whole?

    Honestly, I think it and its parent company Private Media have been really poorly managed at times.

    Many of the best reporters at the Nine papers and The Guardian used to write for Crikey and its sister publications at one time or another.

    Some are active on the Fedi, including @firstdogonthemoon, @paulwallbank, @stilgherrian, and @mpesce.

      I’m not sure it’s worth the price they’re asking though, especially if poor takes from Bernard Keane are common and not caught by editors or even checked for sanity

      Keane came out of public service comms and blogging according to our journo lecturer, much like Jericho

      And much prefer Jericho's obsession with facts (and graphs) over Keane's opinions

      @ajsadauskas @unionagainstdhmo @firstdogonthemoon @stilgherrian @mpesce As an early contributor, supporter, and long time subscriber, Crikey often infuriates me. Keane's takes are often dreadful and his writing on business is truly terrible.
