Does anyone actually think Bernard Keane and Crikey are actually any good?
3 0 Reply@unionagainstdhmo Definitely a bad take by Bernard there.
As for whether Crikey as a whole is any good?
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 current and past Private Media journos/contributors are active on the Fedi, including @firstdogonthemoon, @paulwallbank, @stilgherrian, and @mpesce.
