Amazing chutzpah in TheOz media diary today, calling the Guardian a “niche news site”. Guardian @australia.theguardian.com has an audience more than 2x TheOz & that’s been the case for pretty much the entirety of the last 10yrs. Not to mention the Guardian's the 5th biggest news website in the world

excerpt from Media Diary in The Australian newspaper: 
The Groan-iad
If you thought the lyrics to Sting’s hit tune Every Breath You Take were a little stalkerish, try reading the Guardian. The niche news site can’t seem to stop writing obsessively about News Corp.

Trump claims he will send $5,000 to every citizen if Republicans retain control of the US House and Senate in the midterms. That would cost more than $1 trillion – accounting for more than 235 million US adult citizens. He didn't say where he'd get the money from. www.theguardian.com/...

It’s unclear on what legal grounds the president can offer a cash incentive to vote for Republicans ahead of the midterm elections. It is against federal law to “make or offer to make an expenditure to any person, either to vote or withhold his vote”.

The level of self-restraint on display by this historian is off the scale. Immeasurable. "It’s not consistent with the findings of the surveys we’ve conducted. It’s also not consistent with other surveys that have been conducted over the last several years."
