Yes, it is.

But I still find the Age is regressing toward the bottom of the 
barrel -- poor editing, dumbing down of content, shortened stories, 
lots of editorialising instead of news reporting. Whenver they start 
with the adjectives, you know something is being sold, not reported. 
Journalism 101.

I also find I'm not missing it. I'm reading The Guardian, Australian 
edition a lot more, and even au.yahoo.com news.

Our truest response to the irrationality of the world is to paint or 
sing or write, for only in such response do we find truth.
