One of the weirdest things is how many commentators make the observation that Pauline is Australia's version of Donald, yet fall into the same dismissive position when criticising her 

It's like they somehow expect an increasingly illiterate group of people to read their thoughts in media that most of the population have abandoned. 

(Yes, it's kinda ironic that I'm writing this thought here.) 

I'm beginning to think the only people who consume the Fourth Estate are working in the major political parties, because I doubt there is a readership outside of those vested interests that cares.
