Each side needs to appreciate the other’s agenda

Media doctor, an attempt by a group of medically well informed people to monitor and rate medical news reports, is a welcome initiative.

Whether it can do that, even if expanded to Australia-wide coverage, is a moot point, but well worth considering.
