I had a similar thought about this. It's particularly odd that they never acknowledge that the "Fairfax" they reference as the one-time rival is what merged into the same masthead that wrote this piece.
That said, I think these sorts of meta looks into the quality of biases of our news sources are so important, as long as we think critically about who's writing them and with what biases. It's kinda a shame that nobody ever does this about themselves, apart from the ABC. (And even the ABC, only in extremely limited forms.)
