Idiot! You really are full of it.

I watched the show, and you are, quite categorically, wrong.

Again.


I will leave the personal insults to you, Kat. Care to show how I am wrong?

Barnaby Joyce - conservative.
Nick Cater - conservative.
Tanya Plibersek - leftist.
Ray Martin - leftist.
Akmal Saleh - leftist.
Cassandra Goldie - leftist.



What 'personal insults', you goose?

I stated a fact, I insulted no-one.

If they had more than 2 nutjobs at a time the show would become an unbearable screeching rubble.


So you didn't watch last night's episode, then?


I didn't, but let me guess: Barnaby demonstrated yet again that he is an imbecile?



I do agree that Barnaby is not the best performer and certainly isn't one of the more intelligent politicians, but the points of the op all still stand, as much as you want to eschew discussing them.


Care to explain how you have determined all non-politicians were left? Just because someone isn't an extreme nutjob like your late night material, Baranadi, Joyce, Tony et al, does not mean they are left. Politics isn't "everyone who doesn't agree with Matty is left."  Usually that means they simply aren't extremist nut jobs Smiley


Calling me an extremist, or calling Cory an extremist, is one thing. However, to call Abbott an extremist is another thing altogether. I think that the truth is reverse - you seem to think that everyone to the right of you is an extremist. You and some others on here seem to think that every member of the government is extreme right-wing, with the exception of Turnbull.



More proof, if it were needed, that you ARE an extremist, and ARE a fool.

Not at all.

Turnbull
Hockey
Robb
Bishop
Stone
Brandis

Not extreme.  Centre-right, yes.

But Tony comes from the extreme pack of dogs.  His views on women, the vulnerable, non-standard families, it's all very much chunder worthy.

IN an case, stop deflecting.  Or are you doing it because you realise you raised an idiotic OP, as USUAL, and can't sustain your opinion?


Stone and Turnbull are not centre-right, they are centrists. Abbott is not extreme right. The only one that comes close is Cory, and possibly Corrmann.

I am not the one deflecting. You're the one who didn't address the substance of the op.


Grin  Can't even back up your own thought bubble.

Nice chatting with you.  It was a hoot, as always. Welcome back.


What thought bubble? I stated that Q & A is biased, and you didn't respond to that, but instead insulted Barnaby Joyce. You have not addressed the substance of the op in any way, shape or form.


How do you figure that Ray Martin And Achmal are lefties? Or do you simply categorise anyone that criticises Abbott as being a lefty?  Cheesy Cheesy Cheesy


Did you even watch? You couldn't see that the four apart from Joyce and Cater were lefties?


Yes I watched it ... and you didn't answer my question. They were critical of some of Abbotts policies ... does that make them lefties?


No, that doesn't make them lefties in itself, but their comments on the whole do.


So in other words you haven't got a bloody clue ... 

how dare they be critical of Abbott, they must be lefties ...

grow up you idiot. Cheesy Cheesy Cheesy


Okay, I will give an example - their comments on boat people, for one.

I dunno, are right wing comedians even a thing?


Pretty much all of the actors and comedians that go on are lefties. The only exception that I can recall is Barry Humphries. Either those fields are very much left-wing dominant, or Q & A only tries to find lefties from those fields so as to promote their left-wing agenda. Probably a combination of both factors.

Right-wing people have no sense of humour.


I would consider myself to lean a bit towards the right, and I have a good sense of humour.

Even if you were right - why shouldnt there be @ least 1 show that isnt extreme right? The ABC should have some left shows and some right shows. They dont though - its all right but you cant see it because you are so extreme that you dont like anything "left" to be aired @ all.

SOB


The ABC's shows and programs should all be completely balanced, fair and unbiased.

So I have been out of the country for a week and a half. I arrive back yesterday and it's nice to see nothing's changed.  The ABC's Q & A returns for its first episode of the year, and is back to its usual bias self. Instead of having a fair and balanced panel, they instead, as usual stack it with lefties. 4 left-wing panellists, and 2 conservative panellists, not to mention that the host is also of the left, making it a ratio of 5:2, on a taxpayer-funded station that is supposed to be balanced, impartial, neutral and fair to both sides.

Also, as is often the case, the left-wing panellists gang up and interrupt thr conservative panellists. In addition, the audience was yet again stacked with lefties. Why should conservative-minded Australians have to pay for the ABC, which is nothing but a propahanfa machine and mouthpiece of the progressive left? Why can't we get some balance, like having 3 conservative panellists, and 3 leftists?

Until/unless the ABC gets some balance, there should be no cuts, it should just be privatised, and taxpayers should stop having to pay altogether.


I tried a coujple of times to watch ABC's Q&A but the bias from the chairman and the applause from the stacked audience made me go to the bathroom and vomit.

When the election was well won by the right, who were they who got through that door to make up the biased audience?

Actually, more proof that you have no evidence to support your claims, as seen in the above post as well.

Best proof that the ABC and Q&A is left leaning is that the luvvies protest it so much.  If it was right leaning they would be wailing and gnashing of the teeth and calling for it to be banned. 

Clowns reveal themselves and their agendas, protect the ABC at all costs!!!!  Do you think they would be doing that if they perceived it was inimical to their prejudices?  Grin Grin

I agree, I just can't wait it any longer. I remember last year, there was end episode where it was 5 against 1, or 6 against 1 if you include Tony jones. The lone conservative - the lovely Sophie Mirabella, was constantly interrupted, mocked, criticised and jeered. It was disgraceful.

Great point. They know just as well as the rest of us that it's biased, they just won't admit it because they want taxpayer-funded dollars to unfairly protect and glorify their beloved Labor and Greens.
