ABC is Political

I also hope you see Gillard in person one day, and that she has read all the grossly derogative, downright rude and obnoxious comments you have written about her. I would pay to watch her deck you.

Oh no not you again, get lost Macquack...
 
No one will have to pay to watch Kevin Rudd politically deck Julia Gillard.
 
Auntie ABC is doing handstands today. They have dragged up every story and person they can to say Rudd will win the election. They are celebrating as if the election is already over and Labor is back for another 5 years.
I had to laugh when they crossed live to Rudds electoral office. Waiting for someone that had just gone into Rudd's office was a woman in a car. They were parked in the disabled zone when the woman opened the door of the car put her legs out then proceeded to light a ciggie and drag on it like it was her last breath.
It was like a skit from Little Britain. :

Regardless of whatever distinction you wish to draw between conflict and war, Kevin Rudd referred to a specific war in his statement.
 
Oh gawd, the lefty bias of the ABC was in overdrive last night on Q & A. "Let's all bash Sophie" was the theme of the program apparently as one after another of the guest speakers put the boot in as soon as she tried to speak.

As soon as she spoke about the nasty mysoginistic crap that Labor members have thrown her way during Parliament, they all shut up and merely looked sheepish, grinning stupidly. Not one acknowledgement that they sympathised at all with her humiliation (oh, she's Liberal, she can cop it?). Yet they had ranted the "JuLiar suffered so bad from mysoginism" line all night long up to that point, and even after.

That moron Tony Jones kept hammering "Why won't Tony Abbott come on this show?" to which Sophie replied "I believe you asked Mr Rudd to come on too but he also declined?" - to which the chorus led by a sneering, venemous Plibersek went up "Oh, but we want to hear all your policies - come on - tell us all".

What? Go on a show where the lighting is RED, the background decore is blood RED and all the opposing guests, plus most of the audience (I never believe the faux voter split at the start of that show) and even the host are painted bright RED? To be humiliated while they all cackle like maniacs every time you - the sole conservative representative on the show - go to speak?

WTF? I'm just glad my local Fed member Sophie held her head up during that farce of a show. She sure as hell is gonna get MY vote next go I get. To think I actually swung and voted for Rudd first time around. Labor have lost me for the foreseeable future with this lot of goons.

I knew it would be bad after the ABC's Messiah Rudd rose to save their souls again, but really.....that BIASS... I'm beginning to hear Latham's quote of "E-e-v-i-l-" ringing in my head now....
 

+ 1. I noticed every time Jones thought Sophie was winning a point, he would say well that is enough we will move on now to the next question from the lady up the back.

Yes last night's Q&A was a farce and a stitch up. The ABC has been on a Rudd rampage since he has been back. Even ABC NEWS 24 has every second story or a guest talking up Rudd and bagging the Libs at every turn.
Last nights Media Watch was the same letting fly at every newspaper or media outlet that said anything untowards Gillard. The show was aimed directly at the Papers, blaming them for her demise.
Unfortunately it's not going to change anytime soon , and they wonder why Abbott won't appear on the network. Can you blame him ?
 
If Sophie was a little smarter in how she answered she would better get the point across. She comes across a little too agressive/attacking at times. She was a little better controlled than past appearances but she has a habit of wanting to talk over people. Compare her to George Brandis - even the left biased people will listen to him and give him a fair go. Sophie didn't do a good job of explaining why Abbott won't do a live debate with Rudd (or Gillard in the past) on the economy. It merely reinforced the view that Abbott is on a leesh and can't think too well on his feet.

Do you really expect Rudd to appear after what just happened? I dare say it is a busy time for him - he didn't manage to tell the ex-sports minister she has been moved. Gillard appeared on the show. When was Abbott last on it?

The right need more speakers like Brandis. Appears calm, intelligent and doesn't have the implicit condescension of others. Compare him to Joyce.

Agree. Sensible comments, boofhead.
I haven't yet seen last night's Q & A, but have never found Sophie Mirabella to be much of a spokesperson for the Coalition. She seems to entirely lack the capacity to present her view in a clear and concise way.
 

She can get down in the gutter and debate the Labor women at their own level. As for talking over people, all the panel and Tony Jones attacked and talked over her.
 
I took one look at the list of participants and didn't watch Q&A last night.

I also note on the ABC's Insider's program this week the twist the ABC put on Senator Cash's dig in the Senate at Labor sisterhood over the termination of Julia Gillard's leadership. There, it was portrayed along the lines of panic within the Opposition over Labor restoring Kevin Rudd as PM and didn't show the point of order that led to her response.

I also note that it was Insiders host Barrie Cassidy who two weeks ago gave all the media sharks the big feed on Julia Gillard's prospects as Labor leader.
 

Hi Julia,

Then you just need to watch this ABC inspired grab...note the luvly RED decor. Appropriate for the occasion. It never seems to be blue decor. Wonder why?

Thanks for the link, Aussiejeff. I take your point about the dominance of the red in that clip. Not sure if I were just watching the program whether I'd attach any significance to it, but for sure a more neutral colour would be way more appropriate.

Agree also that the giggling and tittering was rude. But I just can't see Ms Mirabella as at all competent.
She doesn't present as having her thoughts organised or with any authority imo, unlike George Brandis who calmly and incisively comes up with an appropriate response every time. Just my opinion, but I think Sophie Mirabella is a liability for the Coalition.
 
Amazingly, the Insiders audience always works out to be 50% 2pp. Genius from the program's researchers.

Yet somehow it's the (usually) lone conservative who is jeered at throughout. Who'd have thought?

More fine programming from (not your) ABC.

Ha ha, Tanya Plibersek..yeah Sisters..high five!
 

Tony jumped in the line of that last bullet for Tanya didn't he? That was the kill shot right there.

Spohie M "If Julia Gillard's record was so good why did you get rid of her.....?"

Tony J "OK, we will leave that rhetorical ......."

That question was not rhetorical, Tony. How pathetically gutless to shield Plibersek from a straight up question.
 

Yep, da House of ABC was positively oozing with Labor biass. How can a supposedly non-partisan National Public broadcaster be allowed to get away with this drivel & $hite?

More un-ashamed perverted bashing of Abbott here...http://www.news.com.au/national-new...y-abbotts-mother/story-fnii5qqu-1226673193098
