Looking forward to Insiders tomorrow for some real low down on the past week the only program that will do any serious analysis from actual insiders not paid flunkies.

Hi IFocus

When you say "actual insiders" I am assuming you mean, actual union members, actual members of the labor party, actual members of the greens, and actual journalists of the Fairfax press. Any opinions coming from outside the rarified air of this highly regarded sphere would have to be "paid flunkies".:p:

And I'm sure the "actual insiders" will happily trot out the party propaganda as IFocus does...:D

Thats a joke right?
Insiders is labor cheerleading dribble. This is the program that had it's head so far up Rudds a$$ spruiking him as the next Jesus, even when it was plain to see he was a total failure.

They'll have to settle for Julia as their next Jesus now.

Barrie Cassidy is a left wing ALP warrior.

Even if they had 3 middle of the road panellists and interviewed a Liberal frontbencher, I wouldn't watch it.

ABC is politically to the left.

ABC Insiders, even more so.

The ABC ....fair dinkum

This is the second time they've used the words "voter unease" to describe the utter disgust the public feel toward that woman and her lapdogs.

Anthony Albanese rejects suggestions he should be the next cabinet minister to stand down after a failed Labor coup, as a poll reveals voter unease with the leadership instability

Voter "unease"??? sugar coat it why don't you:rolleyes:
 
Watching the second half of Insiders, I didn't think it was to too bad. I'll be kind to Barrie Cassidy today and suggest he was playing devils advocate with some of the points he raised in response to the panellists. ;)

I was also a little curious as to the background behind some of the other issues during the week because I hadn't really followed them.

One notable exception though was the question time footage of Julia Gillard second misogyny moment. The full exchange between the PM and the speaker which led to the PM withdrawing without qualification wasn't shown.

The rest is here if you weren't aware http://www.abc.net.au/insiders/

I didn't see any notable change in the program other than the usual robust examination of the week in politics by the usual very experienced commentators not paid flunkies.
 
Leigh Sales was excellent tonight interviewing Gillard, I think Gillard is going a bit troppo, she was quite manic when saying she's the leader to take Australia forward, it looked like she believed it:rolleyes:

I can't wait to see it.

To quote a poster on Michael Smith's blog, "Sales ripped Gillard apart".
 
Yep, 10 out of 10 to Leigh Sales for her effort this evening. She was going uphill all the way, with Ms Gillard determined to just steam roller over Sales' legitimate questions.

I might be wrong, but I think the interview will further cement already entrenched views about Gillard. Those who for some unfathomable reason still think she's the right person to lead the country will pronounce themselves impressed by her 'toughness' and 'determination'.

The rest of us will see someone determined to gloss over all the dysfunction and insist, via her quite incredible level of self belief, that she is the Prime Minister the country needs.

September seems a long time away.
