Yes, I also read the Guardian, AFR, Daily Telegraph, Conversation, SMH, Fin Review and Australian.



I am not aware of that happening, but if you have evidence otherwise I'd be happy to consider it.

I highly doubt it going by your view the Guardian or the ABC being balanced.

I said any review the ABC makes wouldn't come out with the truth that they're left-wing biased as it'd be turkeys voting for Christmas.

The ABC is just the Oz equivalent of the BBC which is equally left-wing.

What do you highly doubt? That I read the media organisations that I listed?

What are you talking about? The ABC ombudsman is independent, to avoid the exact issue that you're referring to.

LOL OK mate.

If I can't use a media organisation that literally has a statutory impartiality charter as an example, I think I'm going to struggle to meet your subjective requirements of what constitutes "balanced" media.

This has been an extremely frustrating conversation and I don't think there's much utility in engaging in it any longer.

Ask him to give you an example of communism as demonstrated by the Labor party, I dare you. hahahaha you'll piss your pants laughing..

What's your Labor membership No.?

How's your mate Dan Andrews? Been schmoozing with Xi Jinping lately?

I don't have a membership to ANY political party and Im not sure what Dan Andrews is up to these days - I dont actually know him personally sorry. Do the people on the TV screen talk to you direcly do they?

Why don't you give us all a cookers comedy gold moment and explain what "Chairman Dan" did that aligns with the principles of Communism?

Nobody in their right mind would ever think the ABC or the Guardian is balanced and you know it.

No, I disagree and my view is informed by the fact that (in the ABC's case at least), it literally has an impartiality charter which requires it to be balanced.

Just because you keep saying the opposite, that doesn't make it true.

At least you didn't tell me to "piss off" or disparage a hair colour I don't even have this time. Perhaps an indication of some personal growth?

Yeah that's a fair criticism. I used to watch the Q&A program and my impression was that it attracted people with left-wing views more so than conservatives. I found that frustrating and near-sighted at times (but not always). In particular, guests seemed to focus on niche social issues in favour of macro-economic issues that affected a larger share of the Australian population.

Q & A was an ordinary show made even worse when they had a few hosts that thought it was their job to answer the audience questions for the guests. Guests (if they were allowed to answer) were fairly balanced in views but the audience asking the questions tended to skew left. In any case for most of it's life it was part of the entertainment division rather than the news division.

I have read the SMH & the Age hundreds of times and it is left-wing trash.

At this stage it is peformative art...

Our dear friend is playing a character that

a) regards the SMH and the Age as leftwing trash
B) also has claimed to have read it hundreds of times...
C) Doesnt like Cuba because of it.

I don't think the show will do very well on Broadway but perhaps the Dubbo RSL?
