ABC is Political

This Tony Jones and the ABC are lower than a rattle snakes belly.

To bring a brain washed and well rehearsed 10 year old child on QandA to criticize the Prime Minister of this country is as low as they can get.

Shame the ABC
 
I don't generally agree with children being used in this way, but he did ask a question which needed to be answered.

Why not "Shame Abbott & Co"? for turning oppressive that even a smart ten-year old recognises a witch hunt when he sees one. Some kids do take an interest in their future, well before they're allowed to vote.
As to time of day/night: Hasn't anybody stayed up a little later during school holidays?

I reckon this kid is to be commended for taking an interest; he could've wasted his time "hanging out" with mates or playing computer games.

No, Wayne;
merely trying to keep this debate TWO-sided.
The alternative would be to stay quiet and ignore all topics with one-sided contentious views. Which wouldn't leave much reason for me to visit ASF...

You are kidding , aren't you, Pixel?
 
Dude, there isn't any onesideness on ASF as far as I can see.

Notwithstanding the point made, apart from being able to hack into the CIA et al, ten year olds offer no special insight into matters political and is likely regurgitating yhe opinions of his parents.

It does introduce psycholigical artifact however. Nobody wants to verbally punch the crap out of a ten year old, even if deserved. And if the kid is taken to task, his adversary is likely to be negatively judged on the basis of said artifact rather than on the merit of points made.

The ABC had cleverly created an unlevel playing field and they know it.

.....and playing to that is not wise.
 
The problem is the ABC won't let this sore heal , they keep picking away at it and now are using children as a mouthpiece in an effort to avoid any backlash.
Meanwhile the Breakfast teams Virginia Trioli continues to dig at the Abbott Government every chance she gets . Trioli continues to find and air comments that are anti Abbott from any twitter or email hate fest she can lay her hands on. Now Trioli is entitled to her views or political preferences , however she employed by tax payer monies to be fair and give a balanced view that the taxpayer deserves. In balanced I mean a comment from social media other than the hate mail she digs up to air , why doesn't she air a positive comment made by a person on twitter or email to be fair ?
It was also interesting that when Cassidy made his usual Friday appearance on ABC News Breakfast he leapt to Shortens defence from the weeks union enquiry . He glossed over the main detail and basically said Shorten was treated like some sort of criminal . Cassidy spent as little time as he could on the pending subject before again turning to some minimal hearsay between Abbott and Turnbull and attacking them as best as he could to fill in the rest of the segment. In others words again not so balanced reporting from your ABC.:2twocents

Excuse me, comentators are entitled to reflect the other side of the coin. Lets face it free media is democracy.

And although my children loved Peter Rabbit, Mr Abbott's thoughtless rants are giving him a bad name.

Now what's you view noco ole PAL.

Shorten has slumped in the polls while Abbott continues to be the preferred Prime Minister...Shorten is the one with the bad name...What is your view my son?
 
Tony Jones again gave a Labor politician a hard time over Bill Shorten at the RC, but that seems to have gone unnoticed by the Righties here. John Hewson had a dream run, although as he is retired I suppose that doesn't count.

Forget the charter BOSSY BOOTS, all feelings and sides should have a voice and be vented.

Even Jihad on Q and A is healthy so that the community can freely discuss and make up thier own minds. And perhaps being able to vent would circumvent more violent actions.

Remember when researching graffitee artists, they were just seeking an ear which was not at home.

wayne, it is all a part of the Fabian tactic who dictates the terms to the left wing of politics....Get control of the media, promote the Green/Labor socialist propaganda, brain wash the kids and the naive and always criticize and discredit a Conservative government and its leaders when the opportunity arises.....Pick up on any slip of the tongue by Abbott or his Ministers and expand and exaggerate the matter to make it look better for the Labor Party.

Virginia Tripoli sticks out like the old proverbial thunder box we used to have in our back yards.l

Can you be a bit more specific?
What part of the charter to you think applies?
And in what way do you allege it is violated by allowing people to voice their concern?

Just as an aside, Paul Murray, who is usually a staunch supporter of Liberal policies, was scathing in his assessment of the Zac Mallah affair. Censorship has no place in a democratic society, and lambasting QandA for allowing an inconvenient question, demanding heads to roll, and threatening funding cuts fits precisely the definition of censorship.

I have just explained the ABC tactics in my previous post #2158...If you don't believe me do some research on the Fabian Society...If you can't find anything on the Fabians, I could supply you with plenty of links.

I don't watch it, so can't comment, chook food, like the Bolt report.

Made for chook's, by shock jock's who have a photogenic face, otherwise they would be on the radio.IMO

I guess the media has statistical evidence, to support it's focus on an audience, with grade 4 reading level.

How anyone can take them seriously, is beyond me. :D
