It is good the fat blowhard is gone and it seems he brought it on himself.

He is no journo, just a commentator, like Andrew Dolt, peddling nonsense like his made–up “Heiner Affair.”

Just when you think that the left can't stoop any lower, they go and do it. They want to cover up union corruption, and now you want to cover up child abuse.

Heiner wasn’t looking into child abuse.

If you spend half of your time bad mouthing the employer what do you expect.

He isn't employed by the ABC, he is employed by News Ltd. Beyond that, it would be interesting for you to consider the GM of ABC's position under Abbott as PM (effectively his boss)...

The Insiders program has thrown Piers Akerman off the show, because of a few comments about Julia Gillard's "partner". They threw conservative Glenn Milne off the show in 2011. Now they have all of two conservative commentators on the show (maybe three if you include Michael Strutchbury, but IMO he's more neutral), Gerard Henderson and Niki Savva. This in contrast to an absolute plethora of leftists.

The ABC isn't biased? No, not at all. Roll Eyes

How is it bias to sack someone for being a liability?

Also i thought you go on about them being so biased they didnt have any trolls?

Who payed him when he was on the Insiders - the taxpayer, or the producers of the show?

Reply #25 - Feb 11^th, 2014 at 8:28am Piers Akerman is like (not-a) Lord Monckton. Gets far to much airtime than his fringe ideas warrant. Good job dumping him. Hopefully News Ltd will follow suit.

It's dull when you get a bunch of erstwhile press gallery agreers. The producers were smart to mix it up by pitting Ackerman and Henderson against Marr and Manne, etc. Sure, it's classic tabloid tactics, but it's fun. Insiders without Piers won't be the same.

The ABC technically wasn't his employer (for the money he received from appearing on the program). That would be the taxpayer.

How a company receives its funding is irrelevant. ABC technically, and in reality, is the ABC and technically, and in reality, is the employer. Technically. Reality. Technically.
