Tony Jones
Tony Jones led the demise of QandA , He thought , like increasing numbers of reporters everywhere, that it was his job to know things , hence "his moving on " motto.
It goes deeper , The ABC has forgotten what determined its sustainability and the basis for respect ( for it and for us ) --- when it comes to listening .
Take 2 widespread problems that have their basis in the blind reactionary realities and not the radical life changing words of Jesus - which like the commandments prohibit judging defaming and self righteous cancelling of others.
Cancellors steal opportunities for respectful listening .Thats at least 2 commandments broken .
You and many on line are half right about problems but I reject the righteous indignation dial being turned up --- that's one reason why we have this new epidemic of gas lighting.
The test is how effective cancelling is, and, whether the diseases you correctly identify are being addressed by hitting the headlines, wasting audience time and ruining "properly conducted open meetings on only those subjects in the brief".
There used to be respect for that primary basis for a meeting -- what's happened ? And are those who abuse it gaining anything for the cause ?
The crucified casualties of these bulls in our china shop are not getting justice or being properly heard in the increasingly inept and noise loving legacy media.
The ultimate cost of interrupting meetings maybe like QandA , that we , the audience, don't attend any of them ---- maybe arrange our own ----- as we are doing.
