    We all know the great work "private blogs" have done investing millions in breaking major investigative stories, resisting suppression orders in court and fighting spurious defamation claims.https://twitter.com/joshgnosis/status/1009189793459081216 …

        Do you consider your work blogging, Michael? I always think "blog" is pejorative but perhaps that's my error?

        I simply consider it journalism Roslyn but when people want to be pejorative they say blog. Whatever the semantics, lawyers shutting down dissent is a huge issue for free speech

        That's why I ask. I consider your work investigative journalism. And the legal action all the more chilling when against someone without the backing of a large media organisation.

        Abets is frightened of the truth... the only bias in the ABC is that towards the truth.
