Why are Q & A and the Insiders so biased?
Dec 28^th, 2012 at 6:03pm

1. Anyone who expressed conservative views on Q & A, ie, anti-homosexual marriage, ant-abortion, offshore processing, is booed and torn down in flames.

2. The Insiders regularly has 2 left-wing journalists, and 1 conservative, along with big lefty host Barrie Cassidy.

Being that the taxpayer pays for these shows, aren't we entitled to a bit of balance?

1. Are you of the thought that ALL conservatives have the same views on everything? Perhaps the majority of Australians from all sides of politics have moved out of the 50s era and really don't care what happens in a homosexual bedroom, and believe there are some reasons abortion should go ahead, and believe in asylum seekers rights and the way Australia deals with them. Mr Abbot may lead the Liberal Party - but his views and opinions are just that - His! If he wishes to make his views and opinions party policy and insist that all Liberals abide by them I reckon he would lose out big time

2. Piers and Bolt are also regulars on that show - hardly 'left leaning" Roll Eyes

Bolt isn't any longer, he has his own show.

Piers is, but as I said, whenever he is on there, he's the only conservative. Same with Gerard Henderson and Niki Savva.

I will have you know as a labor voter I do not approve of homosexual marriage one iota!

I am more than prepared to get very loud on this subject: louder infact than you have ever been!

The whole forum knows this... just ask them!

Say no more....

With John Howard in power for over a decade he appointed most of the people who control the broadcaster and dictate policy and direction.

As the list of Q&A guests clearly show the unbiased facts but just stick to your bias and dogma driven expectations don't worry about the facts.

maybe because these are extreme right views only some in the community support and the points raised in support of them are very very stupid?

2. The Insiders regularly has 2 left-wing journalists, and 1 conservative, along with big lefty host Barrie Cassidy.

perhaps because all the extreme right wing nutters are boring and useless?
