Micallef wasn't bad, the skit with the Gillard and Rudd staffers was genuinely funny.

Q&A set a new low. Disgusting pack of left wing hypocrites, with the possible exception of Humphries and Hewson. The most vicious, sustained and personal attack on Gina Rinehart. On the other hand - we needed to be more compassionate to Craig Thomson! Two gay panellists - who've suffered stereotypes all their lives - turn straight around and apply the same to Gina Rinehart!

Which of these two have contributed most to the nation, Rinehart or Thomson?

No Miriam, on that performance I do not welcome you as a prospective citizen.

Edit: I went over to Bolt and discovered that he felt the same revulsion:

What I don't understand is why anybody watches Q&A. I suppose you guys are either looking for something to criticise or you didn't actually see and are working on hearsay. I am glad to say I never watch Q&A so I don't get bothered. As for Gina, someone who has an income of $56 million a day hardly needs defending and Palmer is a total wanker.
 
I caught about half an episode of Micallef the other night and thought it was quite funny. Years ago he did a show about a Law firm that I thought was brilliant (anyone else remember that?).

I don't actually watch Q&A anymore. I don't know anyone much who does. I have a very left leaning family member who told me he doesn't watch it either as he thinks it's totally superficial and popularist.
 
Did anyone watch 4 Corners the other night? It was about the EU and all its problems. I basically came away with the impression that no matter which way you look at it Europe is stuffed (can I use that word? :eek: ). Also very annoyed to find that to allow in countries that wouldn't otherwise have qualified either (a) the county in question cooked the books to meet the criteria, or (b) the rules were bent to allow them in anyway :mad:.

Did anyone else watch it? What do you think? (or do you not care?)

Saw a bit of it Miss Hale, I agree that Europe's in big trouble and I dont see how bailing anyone out will fix it, bailing them out with what ? how do they pay that back ?
It's like waiting for the kettle to boil, it wont get better and it wont collapse...yet...... at least if it did we'd see where we stand and go on from there.

I saw most of it (referred to it a couple of days ago in another thread.) I'd echo your conclusion above.
What bewilders me is the way there is much jubilation, rejoicing and rising of markets every time they kick the can down the road a bit more, viz most recently Spain's banks' bailout.
 
An apology for a very heinous allegation against Scott Morrison by Stephen Long on "The Drum" is about to be made by the ABC.

From the Australian.


FEDERAL opposition immigration spokesman Scott Morrison said the ABC would tonight broadcast an apology to him over a comment made during Monday's edition of current affairs talkshow The Drum.

The comment was made by ABC economics correspondent Stephen Long, who described Mr Morrison as being "willing to pander and manipulate that level of prejudice in what is essentially a racist manner".

The transcript of the comments was published today by columnist Andrew Bolt on his blog.

According to an ABC spokeswoman, Mr Morrison made a formal complaint to ABC managing director Mark Scott, which was passed on to the audience and consumer affairs team as was normal practice.

Stephen Long is a senior reporter at the ABC, appearing on radio progrmas including AM, PM and The World Today and ABC TV's Four Corners, Lateline and Lateline Business.

If this is what the Senior Reporters at the ABC think, what are the lesser lights and appartchiks broadcasting throughout the nation.

He should be suspended or fined.

Anyone have the misfortune to watch Rage this morning at about 1.30am and witness the latest in violent depravity that is passed off as music video?

I'm wondering how the two PC etiquette policemen who front the morning show can reconcile their domestic anti violence message while being a party to the schlock horror videos that they broadcast to the population of holiday youngsters who stay up past their bedtimes for the very reason of seeing the debased filth.

King hit coward punches are nothing compared to these vids, full on knife wounds, snatch, bullet hits, blood and gore etc

It's in Series 2016 Ep 3 for those who have access.

Are you a middle aged punk rocker ?

:cool::eek:

I never watch that stuff. Imo Rage is a waste of air time.

I think I'm a little beyond middle aged. On this occasion it was either Rage or those infuriating infomercials. I found myself contrasting the early pop shows like Kommotion and The Go!! Show (who could forget Molly Meldrum miming Winchester Cathedral and Lady Godiva :D).
 
As usual the ABC morning news gives itself over to Soccer reviews and gives scant footage to AFL (and NRL),

Perhaps our home grown uncouth local footy is too working class for the cerebral pointy heads who run the show? Ticky touchwood sports like soccer, netball, hockey, all preferable to those of the cultivated class?
 
The ABC is becoming more trivialised.

The big stories today seem to be one drug ridden rock "star" replacing another one in a particular band, and the ongoing rubbish about Depp and his dogs.

Talk about irrelevance.

ABC, Sunrise (7) and Today (9) absolute crap.
 
At last I know why the ABC insists on pushing soccer themes during the morning news ... the opinionated journo/sports presenter (PK) has his son in soccer.
 
ABC reporter at Geelong Mosque Fire (an old church)

"The church, that you can see behind me, was completely destroyed"

*brick walls still erect behind reporters back

Dopey reporter.

Maybe they need to put some of their own reporters through Fact Check.

:D
