A salutary reminder this morning for all we political junkies. The high school massacre in Finland is proving of far more interest to readers of news on the internet than that interest rate business.
Even on the site of that Melbourne establishment paper The Age the Reserve Bank decision comes in third on the top five most read list with the toy that turns in to a drug leading the way.
Because the Murdoch sites are again showing that their journalists can not live up to the edict of the boss to become internet savvy and have now not updated their most read lists since Monday, the Nine MSN and Brisbane Times join the Crikey Reality Check survey.
And adequate replacements for news.com they are. Neither features a political story!
