I think the ABC should find as many shonky crims as possible with allegations funded by politic enemy's of the government and repeat them continuously that way they could really lift their credibility...................with...........you!

Insiders could lift its credibility with the public at large by a little less worship at the alter of Labor and the likes of Craig Thomson.

I think Andrew Bolt's show now outrates Insiders.

Yeah talk about a labor luvie love in. I noticed they all quickly changed their tune when Rudd was ousted. Barry lost any credibility years ago.

Lets see Laura Tingle daughter of shooters party MP, Laura Tingle

The Australian Financial Review's political editor Laura Tingle has spent most of her 30 year journalism career covering federal politics. She has worked for The Australian, The Age, the Sydney Morning Herald and the Australian Financial Review as an economics correspondent and political correspondent. She is the author of Chasing the Future - a book about the political and economic fallout of the recession of the early 1990s - and a winner of a Walkley Award for excellence in journalism and the Paul Lyneham Award for Press Gallery Journalism.

Andrew Probyn

Andrew Probyn has been the federal political editor and Canberra bureau chief for the West Australian since 2005. He has spent more than a decade in the Federal Press Gallery, first with the Herald Sun. Andrew also spent two years working for the ABC in Tasmania as state political reporter. He was the winner of the Melbourne Press Club's Gold Quill award in 2001 (shared with Michael Harvey) for his exclusive stories on the Peter Reith Telecard affair and in 2007 he won the political reporting prize at the WA Media Awards for his stories on the Kevin Rudd-Brian Burke affair.



Bolts show is pure comedy.

I sometimes think Bolt himself wonders about what he has been told to say.
I don't find it that funny but very awkward and a little embarrassing. I would be ashamed to show this show to a visiting tourist from Britain. It seems so poorly researched and the sets look wonky.

I don't think you'll get too much argument defending Andrew Bolt as unbiased.

The difference though is that the ABC is publically funded.
 
Barry Cassidy's selection of the final panel for the year was a stroke of genius. At first glance you might think that with three News Ltd panellists that it would be pro-Abbot. Not so;

Nikki Sava, columnist for the Australian and certainly pro-Abbott and anti-Gillard.

Malcolm Farr, News Ltd. journalist on the Canberra Press Gallery. Pro-Gillard and anti-Abbott. (the standard Press Gallery position)

Dennis Atkins, Courier-Mail political writer. Pro-Gillard and anti-Abbott and anti-Newman.

Nikki Sava was ambushed.

Just to rub in the left-leaning ascendency the guest interviewee was Christine Milne.:rolleyes:

Perhaps that is exactly the reason more people are tuning into the Bolt report than Insiders!

Bolt now attracts more viewers in total than Insiders on ABC TV does. Insiders’ ABC1 audience from 9 to 10am has fallen 11.7% to 173,000 this year (still well ahead of Bolt) from 195,000 in 2011. The News 24 simulcast audience is up more than 21% to 56,000 from 46,000 and the evening repeat on News 24 has up more than 27% to 32,000 from 26,000. On several occasions in the past three months, Bolt’s 10am audience has exceeded that of Insiders which has fallen into a bit of trough since midyear.

No Coalition will go on least of all Abbott

As for the Insiders vers Bolt, I can understand the rusted on Libs watching Bolt and others watching for a laugh but really he is a joke no one that behaves like him could be taken seriously.

I haven't seen Bolts Liberal infomercial shown else where once where as every other political show gets referenced

The insiders is all class will miss it until it starts up again next year

The sensationalist garbage that passes for current affairs on ACA and TT get over a million viewers. From the little I've seen of Bolt, his show would target that same demographic.

Lachie is just trying to turn Ten into a mini Faux News, with guys like Bolt and that idiot on the morning show.
 
Insiders turned into a steaming pile years ago. I wonder if it will get any better once Abbott gets in.
 
Yesterday’s audience results:

Insiders (9am) - 149,000

The Bolt Report (10am) - 160,000

Meet The Press (10.30am) - 95,000

The Bolt Report (4.30pm) - 117,000
​

Interesting that so many do not follow on with "Meet The Press" after Bolt is finished. Gillard was on yesterday and I was quick to put an end to the droning of "sleaze". Hypocrital, isn't it? The one she accuses of sleaze is a happily married man with three lovely daughters while she has a history of married men...:rolleyes:

Yes, the irony is inescapable, especially now that we have seen the type of people with whom she has associated in the form of Wilson and Blewitt.
 
I think "ALP Insiders" should be boycotted by all centrist and conservative guests, just as The Bolt Report is boycotted by Labor. Albrechtsen would only have been there for tokenist reasons, as was Bolt - to imply legitimacy and balance, but always carefully outnumbered.

"ALP Insiders" isn't just Labor leaning, it's trades union, climate catastrophe, haughty, sneering factional Left. I find it unwatchable these days.

]Both Insiders and Bolt are biased[/B], but between the two of them, there's an approximate balance.

Insiders has long standing Canberra press gallery political jurnos who talk to both sides of politics and conduct analysis of the political landscape in Australia.

Bolt has a bunch of shallow Liberal flunky's who all nod their head gravely as he dribbles Liberal smear and spin with that stupid self indulgent smirk.


Balance?
