Chuck the loser leftards from the media madness
Dec 29^th, 2010 at 10:22pm

Quote:

Leftwing bias is an accusation levelled at the fourth estate in general and the Canberra press gallery in particular.

And the ABC, being taxpayer funded, gets it most of all.

This seems a complaint common to all ‘western’ countries. Members of the media are more liberal/ progressive/leftwing than the centre-right party and the population at large.

Surveys of political journalists tend to support this, with some putting the left: right voting proportion as high as 80:20

It’s probably true that journalism attracts such people and perhaps also institutionalises some others. ...............

Take the ABC’s Sunday morning Insiders. The panel usually (not always) contains two press gallery journalists and a right winger. A kind of progressiveness informs the former’s analysis but they also seem to go out of their way to show they are not that leftwing. (David Marr – more a progressive commentator-at-large than press gallery member - is an exception.)

The rightwingers are there to provide ‘balance’.

Ackerman ?
Bolt ?

I'D just assummed the

light-weight tabloid columnists

were there for

light-weight ENTERTAINMENT

?

ABC journalists, actors etc. are usually the dregs, hence the loser lefty chip on their shoulders.

and a very unbiased comment from smithy...lol..

hey get over it smithy so you lost the cricket.. ho hum lets not pretend there are any unbiased lefties on here shall we..I love it when you guys get up the likes of Bolt and Akerman shows how truthful they are..

you see we only crack up when we are on the back foot.. and like it or not.. gillard.. as was rudd is a FAILURE..

sorry mate but its true.. they have failed miserably

and you lefties have to OWN IT..

cant make a silk purse out of a sows ear..

if this lot were the Abbott govt I would be dead ashamed and thats a fact..

in NSW they are now spending at least another $1million on a road they resurfaced only a few months ago.. it will take months, is right in the middle of the Sydney CBD.. will probably cost more than what they own up too.. and Kenneally tells them it was all planned.. as they knew the suface they put down in the first place wouldnt be the right one...

she actually stood up and said that at a media conference..this is the type of idiots they take us all for... thats one of the things I cant stand about Labor they think we are idiots.

happy new year to you and yours smithy.

Ha Cods, if you think I support in anyway the current federal or state governments in this Country then I've not been expressing myself clearly.
The only thing worse than Gillard would be Abbott & his sidekicks, Hockey,Payne & Robb.
This country & its people are being short changed, ripped off, molested call it what you will, but as they say we get what we deserve(we must be vile people). The only light on the hill is Turnbull but the freaks who believe Abbott is the messiah instead of the truth(labor killed itself) will put an end to that common sense.

And well done to you Aussie managed to get a post out with no reference to bottoms,penises or homoerotic acts must have been in the 3 seconds you aren't thinking about it. big kisses to you. xxxxxxx
