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?

I cant believe I pay for that shi. I will be invesigating and get my mojo onto it. If this is true, ABC should be ashamed of itself.

As on a race course, weaker runners have to get help by handicapping the better contenders.

Isn't this the raw truth about leftard's inferiority?'

The fact that they have ruined the country's economy, goodwill, ambition, is of little matter, what?

Looks very much like on Q&A the facts do not support the claim?

Panellists:
Penny Wong, Finance Minister; Labor
Barnaby Joyce, Queensland Nationals Senator; LibJonathan Biggins, Playwright and Satirist;
Stella Young, Comedienne and disability activist;
Janet Albrechtsen, Columnist for The Australian More Conservative

Judith Sloan, Economist and businesswoman;
Kevin Rudd, Former Prime Minister;
Malcolm Turnbull, Shadow Communications Minister;
Heather Ridout, Reserve Bank of Australia board member.

Colin Barnett, WA Premier;
Bob Brown, Former Leader of the Greens;
Alannah MacTiernan, Former Labor Minister;
Hannah McGlade, Indigenous human rights lawyer
Bob Cronin, Editor in Chief, The West Australian.

The Q & A panel seems to often, though not always, be balanced, but the audience isn't. I don't care what the numbers at the start say, they're not true.

I went once, and was harassed outside, after the show, by a leftie.

Also, sometimes lefty panelists are downright rude to conservative ones, and Tony Jones does nothing to stop it.

Nothing more needs to be said about the Insiders. Watch 10 minutes of it and you'll see how biased it is. The way that the two lefty journalists treated the conservative in this year's last episode was appalling. No wonder that many Coalition MPs are reluctant to go on there.

One thing I've learnt about the television and the media is that it isn't reality. One of the things that they are trying to do is make it reality. The left in the media (which is most of them) talk as though gay marriage and loving refugees is what most people believe. IT'S NOT!! The lefties can't deal with reality and they hate it. Anybody who gets on one of their little BS shows and offers up some reality is shouted down. I don't know why people bother. The polling booth is where reality really gets shown.

So now you are back peddling.

The problem is that most of the far right philosophies such as yours matty don't stand up to any sort of scrutiny. Thats why you will only hear them on anonymous internet forums like this one.

The Right Wing only believe in free speech when they agree with what is being said.

They let you in, showing their bias a bit there?

We have got to the point now where the audience who go to watch the show are biased?

Maybe with the opposition being against everything it is difficult to find support for that position when the topic is discussed.

You should start a Balmy Army group and take up a section of the audience.

No, I am not, I meant the audience from the outset, although the panels can sometimes be too skewed to the left.

How am I far right?

My point is that the figures that they put up at the start of the show seem very wrong.

The numbers would be based on the questionnaire you answer when applying for a ticket. Maybe some people are not fully honest.

I only went once - had to give a poncy conservative a mouth full on the way out.

Why, because s/he disagreed with you?
