On the general grounds of independent news looking more and more important, I've signed up for a 21-day free trial of Crikey. Not completely coincidentally, I've started reading Hannah Arendt's "The Origins of Totalitarianism". It's hard going, but, for me, there is more value in one sentence of Arendt than there is in entire issues of Crikey, the chief purpose of which seems to be bashing small-l liberals for not being sufficiently Leftist. I already know there's an incredible volume of hot air generated by people like me. I'm looking to you to provide something more substantial - context, ideas, understanding. Am I looking in the wrong place?
