Why did the ABC miss the Scoop of the 2004 election -the lefts level of "out of touch with reality "?
The absolute facts are that too many at the ABC are completely behind the times too . They need an education and some inspiration to avoid the cynicsm that so easily envelops , prescribes and limits their worldview.

I don't easily warm to self centred ignoramuses, but Andrew Denton can produce some great entertainment( last monday) , because. at least , he admits it . You can't ask for more than that . It's what the great master said was crucial Matt 5:3

Well done George . Great to get a sense of who Amanda was and in particular what actually happens behind the hype . A great contribution to sound politica debate from both of you . Maybe you would like to contribute to winners and losers on http://thiselection.blogspot.com .

Prophetic journalism -anybody home? what ever happened to a good dose of cynicsm in the media when the public really need it !
4 corners produced two absolutely great programs on the huge challenges of managing even localised issues in the Murray Darling. We met sensible capable people from lots of areas.
This week we seem have universal feigning to the wannabees over their discovery of a brilliant new strategy to " finally solve the problem " . Someone is playing innocent? Is it "closure" - the invisible clothes by any other name?

Angels in America .
Not worth five minutes .I bet most of Australia switched off, despite the sales pitch. Are you trying to lose your regulars ? -Such blatant navel gazing is indulgence, not art. What producer are you indulging at our expense ?

Dentons Discovery Channel
Whatever some media people say about their intent, their actions speak louder than words. Andrew and John spent their time talking about Alan ----how mature are they and do they as leaders cringe?

By the way parky was good - or lets just say parochial patter about things that really matter - we really know and experience- well shared .

Enoughrope . We met parky - thanks to andrew . a good night s entertainment with some real characters introduced. Parkys respect for competency and truth telling makes for a welcome reminder of a sustainable imperative in journalism.

We are not watching ! Give someone else a try at comedy
Get real ABC! we are not watching the ABC and you are testing our patience three nights out is too much. Is there a pact to ruin our week and the ABC's fortunes? Friday 's effort over broken glass is unwelcome but maybe fair for some , half baked thursday is Ok ( kumars is fine ) but to risk a Wednesday night as well! the glass house is typical- had a good go and got lost- why do we get more and less sport!

I hope you get heaps from the Sportsmad ---for continuing to drum up same old same old for your/someone's idea of funny.
So comedy is in short supply
Go find someone who genuinely is or knows how to present it - do some lateral thinking on it -or leave it till later .
