Corrupted Journalists? Politician's Media Staff - Should they be held acountable? How the Government controls the news, July 1, 2005, The Age Newspaper, Melbourne Australia "Media advisers are being paid from our taxes to spin us a line, writes Sushi Das. Spin doctors, or propagandists, to use their old name, are a strange breed with disagreeable mannerisms that set them apart from the rest of the population. They have the extraordinary ability to be insincere, obscure the truth with irrelevant claptrap, hang up the phone mid-sentence and still be able to sleep straight in their beds at night. Without them, the federal and state governments would barely be able to control the point of view presented in the media, or "spin" stories, as it is called. Premier Steve Bracks' media unit employs 20 advisers. Several of the state departments also have media officers. Here are a few examples of how they go about doing their jobs. Last week I called the media unit and spoke to Kate Leonard, a media adviser to Transport Minister Peter Batchelor, in the hope of arranging an interview to discuss the Spencer Street Station redevelopment. I was subjected to a barrage of questions about my "agenda". I soon realised it would have been easier to ring Buckingham Palace and get an interview with the Queen. Leonard asked me to submit a list of questions I wanted to put to the minister, presumably so he could script his answers. I refused. Then I was asked what the "angle" of my story would be. When I said I didn't yet know, I was asked whether it would be a "soft or hard" story. The conversation went round and round before she said: "I don't want you to ambush the minister."
