Q & A/ABC back to its usual biased self.
Feb 4^th, 2014 at 8:37pm

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.

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.

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

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.

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?

Very true. Sometimes they even have three leftists and no conservatives. This sunday just gone was actually okay, they had a conservative, a lefty and I think a centrist on, so very balance. That is very much the exception, however.
