Wheat from Chaff

A big news event today with Osama Bin Laden killed by the Americans in Pakistan. The President in his normal well polished manner proceeded to inform us direct from the White House about 1:36pm AEST.

And then the media commentary and analysis started. The Twitterati have been tweeting away all afternoon - with the occasional post from the ABC and others.

But the real class act is over there at The Conversation - with stories here and here. Without doubt this is where the news action is.

If you want to understand the story and the implications then this is the place to go.

It must be a bit of a surprise to our mainstream media. They have been mucking about with trivia and manufactured BS for so long that they didn't realise that Andrew Jaspan has snuck in and eaten their lunch.

And a good thing it is too. Go "The Conversation".
