And that happens when time and energy is spent in continually reinforcing failure.

Woo Hoo congrats guys, making the news ;

ps ~ and please sign the petition

Petition hits ABC for shift to Right

MORE than 1000 people have signed an online petition complaining about the ABC's political coverage, with many saying a tough interview by 7.30 anchor Chris Uhlmann with Greens leader Bob Brown is evidence of a lurch to the Right.
The petition to "get the ABC back to its charter" appeared on a website owned by lobby group GetUp! some weeks ago.

It says the ABC has become a "mouthpiece for political conservatives" and is "a sad version of (Rupert) Murdoch's Fox News".

Many of the signatories say Uhlmann is the problem.

Uhlmann pushed Senator Brown hard on Monday, as to whether he wanted to phase out the coal industry, and how he'd counter the associated loss of jobs, industry, investment, and income, if that were achieved.

Uhlmann told The Australian he "approached Bob Brown the same way I approach any other politician, and that is to try to be devil's advocate.
"I thought I gave him every opportunity to answer the questions, while trying to keep him on the point".

One signatory to the petition said: "Chris Uhlmann interrupted Bob Brown on every question he tried to answer."

Commentators on the OzPolitics blog disagreed, saying: "Bob Brown (was) destroyed by Chris Uhlmann on 7.30." http://www.theaustralian.com.au/business/media/petition-hits-abc-for-shift-to-ri...

Oh the irony, a bunch of leftist rednecked nutters create a petition about their leader complaining that Brown was asked some hard questions rather than the normal marshmellows that have been thrown his way.

Guess now Brown will stay only on the ABC!

Has Anyone Used JuLIAR Yet?

As one of Australia’s silent majority, I would like to complain loudly and at length about the ABC and its non-stop diet of leftard propaganda. Although I can’t think of any actual examples of this now that Kerry O’Brien has left, I’m told that regular singalongs of ‘The Internationale’ are not uncommon during Insiders, and can only assume that this ingrained leftardedness is to blame for my very witty tweet combining the phrases ‘JuLIAR’, ‘Stop the Boats’ and ‘smacking left-wing front bottoms’ not getting a run during last week’s Q&A. I’m sure if Phillip Adams had tweeted exactly the same thing it would have been used. Assuming he could tear himself away from his basket-weaving and communism for one moment.

Uhlmann told The Australian he "approached Bob Brown the same way I approach any other politician, and that is to try to be devil's advocate.
"I thought I gave him every opportunity to answer the questions, while trying to keep him on the point".

One signatory to the petition said: "Chris Uhlmann interrupted Bob Brown on every question he tried to answer."

Commentators on the OzPolitics blog disagreed, saying: "Bob Brown (was) destroyed by Chris Uhlmann on 7.30."

Others thought Uhlmann had to go in hard, with one saying: "If the Tudors had listened to this kind of thing (phasing out the coal industry) then England would still be a sheep-infested shithole with a GDP of five sparrow farts and a giant turd."

7.30 executive producer Michael Carey said the program received "a good number" of calls about the interview, "just as we used to do, when Kerry O'Brien did a tough interview".

Uhlmann said viewers "tend to watch an interview with their political goggles on. They see and hear what they want to see and hear. I had a fiery interview with Abbott not so long ago; in tone, they weren't that far apart".

One letter on the 7.30 website said: "Again I found myself irritated by Chris Uhlmann's constant interrupting of his guest. It is not a dialogue, but more an opportunity for Uhlmann to impart his own (predictable) views."

The petition yesterday topped the GetUp! "Hot list of popular topics, with more than 1000 signatures, and 530 comments".

The point that Brown was destroyed, is a little extreme.
The fact that he was shown up as just another disingenuous politician, by refusing to admit to his role in forcing the introduction of the Carbon Tax, was what was the most damaging aspect of his performance, in my view..
If he believes in a Carbon Tax, he should have accepted responsibility, and sought to provide his reasoning for the scheme.

Politics is tough, but we do deserve better, we do deserve some honesty, and I think the disappointment for many is that they thought the greens would be more likely to be honest.
Apparently that is not always going to be the case.

DO WE DESERVE BETTER?

THAT, MY FRIEND, IS THE QUESTION!

ONLY VIRGINS ARE PURE!! Cool

That could be because Brown the Boob refused to answer the actual questions!

It was because Brown did NOT have an answer to the questions once Uhlman pointed out that it was not a journalist from the Australian who was quoted, but Bob Brown himself writing about the closing down of the coal industry. It seems the Get Up mob can't seem to get their heads around valid questions. A case of dishing it out, but not able to take it.

Another distortion Flyin_B. Along with your hollow quotes from the interview.

Given that your only focus is on attacking the man, can you explain why?
