I was watching Q&A the other night and they were talking about journalistic responsibility when reporting sensitive issues. This little inner city graffiti artist sticks his hand up and proceeds to tell the world that he just got his degree in journalism and he would absolutely do the Indonesian spying story if he had the chance. Barnaby Joyce replied- well if you had the chance to do a similar story on a person in your street would you do it. He replied- why not? Barnaby Joyce replied- well you might get your house firebombed!! Was that a stupid reply or not. Think about it.

Joyce clearly is out of his depth when attempting to respond off-the-cuff to questions. If you watch the show he was struggling nearly every time a question was directed to him.

He had a room full of lefties hanging on his every word , talking over him and mocking his replies. It's a wonder he did as well as he did. The 2 female do-gooders on either side of him were waffling idiots. The muslim must of punched a couple of cones before the show because he didn't make any sense.

Yes a room with 45% lefties. Damn those 45% lefties.

45%

Try a 100%. The ABC always stack their audiences.

Can you substantiate that claim?

"Audience: ALP 36%, Coalition 46%, Greens 10%"

Who am I saying is lying?

Quantum wrote on Feb 5^th, 2014 at 2:33pm:

So there is a limit on how many greens can get in the door. About 10%. Now how does the ABC know who is telling the truth? It would seem logical on a show that has such a focus on Green issues, and has such limited seat space for Green voters, that many Green supporters would lie so as to enter.

Quantum wrote on Feb 5^th, 2014 at 2:14pm:

If they do indeed filter who gets in, then no doubt many will lie to make up the numbers.

it appears you are accusing anyone and everyone

I was just making sure that you weren't accusing me of saying that the ABC is lying. I don't question that the statistics are real, I question that the statistics (That people like pecca quote as proof of something) are accurate. If you want to believe those stats are exact and that no one lies so as to get in then go ahead. Believe it all you want.

sure you were !!!! Grin

Yeah, I was.

My argument has been that from the start. This is what I originally said that you took issue with;

"The ABC must regulate the audience to keep those proportions. It would not be possible to get a random group of about 150 people each week and to always get about the same percentage. If they do regulate it, then something is still up, because the response of the audience doesn't fit the make up of it claimed by the ABC. Either the numbers don't include guests (not those on the panel, but those invited by those on the panel who may make up a considerable number in the room) or people are just lying about their affiliation to get on the show."

I didn't actually agree nor disagree with your statement, I just pointed out that if they didn't regulate it, you would have more screams of bias.

I think on many of those type of questionaires people would simply answer according to how they voted at the last election, and not because of any particular ideology. Many who voted liberal last time would have answers lib, with very little prospect of them voting liberal at the next election

Who was the muslim?

And what religion were the other panelists?

Akmal Saleh

This Akmal Saleh?

" ... grew up in a "very right-wing fundamentalist Christian family", which he says contributed to his sense of humour."

"Searching for something meaningful in his life, Saleh became very religious and joined the Coptic Orthodox Christian church."

"Saleh now describes himself as an agnostic."

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Akmal_Saleh

What religion were the other panelists? Can you tell by just looking?

The 2 women definitely worship the hairy cheque book and business shoulder pads. Most of the crowd worship graffiti artists, trance music, sniffing paint and the chocolate starfish. They're your sort of people peckery.

Sorry about the way that appeared Greg - I was lazy to check.

I assume Sparky said Muslim because he didn't recall his name - and I didn't bother checking - but i did know who he meant using that 'identity'.

My bad. Sad

Disagree with your assess of the crowd Sparky. With the exception of one major idiot, the quality of the questions was very high.

Except for the kid that went through all the hard work of getting a journalism degree and didn't understand the basic idea behind actions have consequences.
