Is The Insiders Irrelevent.

[windrake]

The ratings for the Insiders are on a downward trend & have been for the better part of a year. If this was any other channel it would have been axed months ago.

This Sunday we were served up the misogyny of Nikki Savva by the males on the panel & Cassidy.

Since Sky, Meet The Press, Richo & many other political programs are popular & more balanced it's looking more & more biased at the ABC & the ratings show it.

The flood of emails that this program receives re it's left bias does not seem to be heeded & let's not even mention Q & A & Tony Jones.

I hope the Conservatives sweep the groupthink clean & finally do something about public broadcaster's bias, we deserve better.

No Insiders? what will I do for that hour if its not on. I like it, and Q&A. and Tony Jones.

Aunty is always accused of left bias, I dont see it.

OK, let's get rid of any media that doesn't conform to the OP's ideological bent.

OK, let's get rid of any program that doesn't rate well, after all, ratings is what the ABC should be all about .... isn't it ?

*Sigh*

49% of Australians  will vote for a conservative government & 29% will vote Labor according to the Nielsen poll.

I think this is a fair assumption that the majority do not agree with the ABC's left wing groupthink.

As for getting rid of any media who do not agree with my idealogical bent *sigh*..sic, well that is just a silly comment that does not add anything to sensible debate.

As for ratings, it's about time ratings meant something to the ABC Mandarins, after all it's Australians who pay their wages, Australians who forked out an extra $20 million this election year, not for them to cosset the left wing commentators who abound there to keep the status quo.

The ABC should represent All Australians.

It is on the LNP agenda to sell the ABC and SBS

You do realise that this is impossible don't you?

No entity can possibly represent everyone.

Also please define ALL.

Don't you get sick of trotting out other's lines?

You only need to watch the ABC to know that they use a range of presenters including LNP members, IPA reps and News Corp employees.

You think it's a fair assumption but it's based on a myth. The ABC is not a left wing group think. Peter Reith would love to be included in that left wing groupthink (whatever that is), and Alexander Downer too, yeah sure.
