## Apologia for Seven West Media’s Past Offences: An ABC Puff Piece?
So, what is this? A belated *apologia* for the *Stokes* family and #SevenWestMedia management past misbehaviour? **We was bad but we got better** ? I have to say this #ABC article leaves me nonplussed as to its *raison d’être*.
We’ve known for decades our main stream news outlets are hotbeds of the worst kind of management practices, #Monied and #Rentier propaganda machines, and ultimately responsible for the appalling quality of journalism in Australia. We also know that successive govt(s) have done bugger all to mitigate the worst behaviours of the fourth estate (Why?)
What was Manning’s purpose when he wrote this?
