AMonkeyInSilkBanging on about ‘broken promises’ reminds me of a petulant child rubbing their eyes with balled fists and blubbering. “B-but y-you p-p-promised.”
Australians and Australian politics deserve a better media and standard of journalism.

Eh… you have ‘great expectations’ for this show, sry to dissapoint but…
You’re right of course, #Insiders is not a without its right-wing neoliberal bias. Not only is the bias evidenced by the ‘in your face’ #Host, it’s in your face in the limited variety of guests appearances (with few exceptions amongst the panel). For all the information/news it provides, you might as well watch #FoxNewstainment and risk being brainwashed like an increasing proportion of Australian voters.
Nate CochraneIt’s just amazing that all those CPG journos sat in that Labor Govt press conference about the #ISISBrides and not one of them raised the IDF soldiers complicit in genocide holidaying in Australia or returning home.

Words of wisdom from #AmyRemeikis:
“There is very little curiosity outside of the business pages about why Rinehart is doing this (Sarah Martin at the Guardian a noted exception). Context has very rarely been a forte of mainstream media, which tends to see adding in historical facts and events in their total context as rubbing up against their ideas of ‘objectivity’. That’s always been a problem, but it’s becoming an increasing threat to our democracy, with legacy media – not just in Australia, but also in the US and the UK – showing itself incapable of handling a backslide in democracy, partly because it doesn’t see context and proper analysis of power as necessary.”

As long as they keep appointing pseudo-journalists (aka neoliberal propagandists) to management roles in the ABC, it’s not going to be reporting without bias and therefore utterly Fail to “inform’ the public.
They try to cover their obvious bias by offering ‘both-sideism’, which does not do.
@tonyr641
Ahhh, well played #ABC… spin the environmental disaster that this algeal bloom poses days before the polling booths open… well, given that you are so into #BothSideism in you reporting I look forward to some juicy embarrassing titbits on the #Libs, #Nats and #PHON, and any other #IND you can throw dirt at.
I really wish there was some analysis reporting on the #Policies all candidates are taking about because the rest of the msm surely won’t, but I guess that is too much to hope for from mediocre reporting.
#ThisIsNotJournalism. The ABC ought to be about #Informing the public and helping electors to make an informed choice at the ballet box, not about an climate induced and dangerous natural phenomenon that science is hard pressed to contain (as if a policy/legislation could ever eradicate that problem).
What do we have to do to get journalists/editors to do a half decent job of it? Ppffftttt.

Good journos… aahhh for the good old days. Whatever happened to ‘standing on the shoulders of giants’? Use to be that when you did you advanced the cause. Nowadays it looks like the cause is mediocrity.

TBH, Whether 9, 7 or 10, it’s all shit and only marginally better than TrollFoxNews. SBS is bland enough and ABC is chaotic. I’m not a happy with the slop we get on free to air period. Ergo, I don’t watch very often at all.
I prefer to see reportage, editorials, opinions and analysis in print(digital). Makes it easier to have a good think about what is said (written) and to spot mis-disinformation.

Misinformation-SuperhighwaymanIt's ten years to the day since The Sun published this article that exemplifies their standard of journalistic integrity:
"We'll Be Having Sex With Robots in the Next 10 Years".
How time flies! Back then, we relied on Twitter for news, headlines for clickbait articles were quirky and not liable to drive one to rage, and suggestive images were made in Photoshop by people.
Curiously, the article and the tweet no longer exist. A few months later, The Sun published an article with the same photo and a similar headline: "Women will be having more sex with ROBOTS than men by 2025". These articles appear to be related and based on claims by Dr Ian Pearson, a futurologist. In the years since then, he's been spruiking Augmented Reality, predicting we'll live for ever by 2050, and giving TED talks.
