Add in The Australian, and you have where I get my news from (at least as far as the mainstream Australian media go). In particular, a large feature article in The Sunday Age seemed to go to great lengths to present him as a "good guy".

Whether I like Hicks or not - and all my biases are against him, I freely admit - I think this has been a terrible saga of inhumanity and unprincipled political leadership. I fully support the campaign to bring him home.Russell Blackfordhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12431324430596809958noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24761391.post-533059379030590882006-12-04T21:28:00.000+11:002006-12-04T21:28:00.000+11:00I'm curious as to where Hicks has been presented "...I'm curious as to where Hicks has been presented "almost as if he's some sort of hero".
