ABC- one way street to political correctness

No real practical support for small voices in its leader programs.
Great suspension of belief is required to accept Q&;A's producers  assertion ( on richard stubbs program 774 melbourne )that we should take politicains and control panels as answerers of questions. .Both groups have the lowest credibility ratings of any professionals .Q&A continues to avoid panels of real scientists and its simply doesn't allow voices of dissent to threaten its control .
Take tweets . It gets up to 20000 but does it publish them as a respecter of fair play? ; no it gets  3 people selecting tweets - more control . Should stream REAL OPINION on Q&Afor /Q&A agin or whatever stream you want (even random )  Not credible and real switch off stuff ( we learn nothing and worse =- more about same old same old Tony stuff)

Insiders - just a tad fanatical

Barrie Cassidy should know that his bright shirts are a giveaway.  Just as he should know that a real economist should talk stats and real scientists should talk science . By letting himself and David Maher wax lyrical and long ( what a pain !) on subjects they clearly know little about these wannabes( like Tony Jones on Q&A)  demonstrate that insiders is really outside of the debates going on around them . The average joe may not know that these blokes are out of their tree on science and economics but real insiders know - and the signs are nt good , fanatics are prone to repeating themselves and  drawing attention to the new clothes in ways which make the audience look more closely at what exactly they are wearing. .

Randlings

Finally it may be that some of the ageing reactionaries and word spinners are learning to do what they do best ..Our society is all the better for everyone doing what they do do best .  And honesty - how funny is that  'I'm Andrew and I'm not here to help'.
Hopefully it will be fun . I will be watching
If only some parts of the ABC would repent from a lack of reporting ,  jumping to conclusions or reinforcing prejudice; avoiding the pretence of a place where we may ask the questions,  but where the ABC still control the discussion.

Watched it again this week--- same story - the cartons are funny but interviews with independants not tough enough . Do you regret your alliance with the Greens and holding Australia to ransom because of them ? David Mar should be moved on because he 's always moving on .
