As I said, if you listen to the undercurrent of Phil Adams he is a hoot. He has a show and he plays to it.
For example he adores Kevin Rudd, and would love him back as PM.
All the piss went out of Adams with the demise of John Howard. Adams proudly boasted that he was the country's leading Howard hater. He has been suffering from withdrawal symptoms ever since. He has transferred some of his hate to Julia for what she did to Kevin, whom he loves. But it lacks the real vitriol he had for Howard.
Its strange that he loves Rudd. It has been said that anyone who likes Rudd doesn't really know him.
Another of his great hates was Thatcher.
The behaviour of ABC news in reporting untruths about Tony Abbott and the Tent Embassy should be investigated.
I distinctly heard broadcast on the 7pm news on Australia Day that the Aboriginal activists were enraged by Tony Abbott's statement that he wanted to get rid of the Tent Embassy.
Any reading of Abbott's statement on Sky News earlier in the day would have made any journalist ashamed to pen that ABC News report.
I would be grateful for a transcript of that broadcast, if any ASF members have a link to it, as I have a mind to make a complaint about it.

He reckons he said
Mr Abbott said: "I think the indigenous people of Australia can be very proud of the respect in which they are held by every Australian and, yes, I think a lot has changed since then and I think it probably is time to move on from that."
The protesters had misinterpreted those comments, Mr Anderson said.
Can't find an actual transcript yet
Thanks macca,
I was after the actual transcript of the ABC 7pm News broadcast of ABC 1 TV on Australia Day.

The exact words from the above ABC news clip were,I can't find a transcript of that broadcast GG, but they were still deliberately repeating the lie next day, viz;
" ...they were angered by comments made by Tony Abbott that it was time for the tent embassy to be taken down."

Sloppy journalism at best." ...they were angered by comments Mr Abbott made suggesting it was time for the tent embassy to be taken down."
Calliope, GG and others
It was on Media Watch tonight. (Watch it on iview). Much of which is who told the Abbott lies.
The first to say that Abbott said to pull down the tents was 2UE.
They blamed AAP who posted 7 minutes later. It was AAP who said that Abbott said the stuff that was spread on most of the networks.
AAP apologised on Media Watch and said they didn't do it for political reasons. I think compared to the other news services that the ABC were a lot less complicit. Also watch it to see Newscorp do some other nasty stuff to an aboriginal man(not really news).
The exact words from the above ABC news clip were,
Sloppy journalism at best.
Perhaps the ABC should analyse itself on Media Watch and apologise to its viewers.
It's worse than that. The video link above is from ABC News Breakfast the following day.I'd agree doc,
Media Watch was reasonable tonight except they let ABC 7pm News off the hook. It was they who transmitted the lie about Tony Abbott's comments 11 hours after they were uttered.
CHRIS UHLMANN: Brett Matthew's $19,000 bill is a $3,500 increase on one he got just six months ago for the same level of usage. At $1,800, carbon tax makes up just under 10 per cent of the rise. His story is one of a procession through Parliament as rising power prices and the politics of carbon collide.
JOURNALIST (March 24, 2011): Electricity prices have risen quite a lot over the last few years without a carbon price. Do you think those rises have been reasonable?
TONY ABBOTT, OPPOSITION LEADER: I think that at least some of those rises have been due to the state Labor government's failure to invest and the state Labor government's gouging usurious dividends from the utilities. Effectively, they've imposed a tax on the utilities.
CHRIS UHLMANN: There's no nuance in his argument now.
TONY ABBOTT: Let the public be aware: it is the carbon tax which is what's putting up everyone's power prices.
Can we also add the Channel 10 program, 'The Project'. It's a left wing P.O.S. program. l refuse to watch it anymore.
When Jon Faine interviewed Tony Abbott on ABC's 774 on Tuesday, something unusual happened.
The Opposition Leader's careless use of words was actually challenged.
Abbott, discussing the asylum seekers issue, asserted:
Frankly, we've had 22,000 illegal arrivals, almost 400 illegal boats ...
Faine responded:
They're not illegal. Tony Abbott, do I need to remind you that the use of words in this is critical? They are not illegal arrivals. There is nothing illegal about seeking asylum when you are a refugee.
Abbott:
Well, I'm making my point Jon ...
