i disagree with the first premise (most other stations wouldn't bother giving gerard henderson or piers akerman air time, their grovelling is puerile at times) but definitely agree with the second. keep in mind a majority of journalists tended to be in the middle or left of politics anyway.

the drum = centre-left
crikey = slightly more centre-left (bernard keane's stuff is still worth reading though)
the punch = centre-right
national times = centre but slight leaning one way or the other depending on the individual journalist (peter hartcher more towards the right, lenore taylor slightly to the left for example)
the conversation = centre-left

there are actually very few sites/publications that lean totally one way or the other (larry pickering, for example, would obviously be towards the far right and the nsw greens somewhere left of stalin)

just as a reference for anyone who's interested
