P-man

It’s a good thing those waiting for Tom McDonald to come good aren’t holding their breath.

The game got summed up perfectly by the team song being done without the captain and having to start over.

Yeah great. Yay.

So of all options Viney picked the worst one because of course he did.

Utterly pathetic. A joke of a club.

We deserve to lose this. 100%. Ridiculous.

Trac is just a star.

Jacko made that distance easily. Good signs,

Salem isn’t having a great day,

Rivers is having some debut.

Nibbler again, get around him

Tommo sublime.

Haha scoreless. Yes. YES.

Lyon doing his best to contain his glee.

Oh my.

Man, we look pretty sharp here.

Ahaha yes. Suck on it Nibbler haters.

This looks like globetrotters vs generals so far.

Very.

Nibbler ?

The mohawk is gone. Stop the presses. Huge story.

Ah I missed this feeling.

I‘m not a fan of most Murdoch mouthpieces, it’s true. I don’t even feel the need to apologise for that. So I won’t. But yes, their appointment is evidence of trying to appease the right constantly bleating about bias. Your response acknowledges that they have attempted to address what you saw as “screaming out for balance”. So comparatively even you must acknowledge that they have made headway. Yet you still think they are a propaganda machine? Based on what? As I’ve said, the claims of bias are demonstrably wrong. I mean have you listened Greg Sheridan talk politics? He once described Donald Trump as a “wise and empathetic leader”. He’s given various platforms on the ABC. Relatively unopposed. My theory on this is pretty simple. Conservatives HATE being criticised when they are in government. It’s part of that whole born to govern mentality and rather ironic for supposed defenders of “free speech”. So when the ABC dares to hold the government to account, a foreign concept to a regular Sky News viewers, the right screams “BIAS!”. If anything, the ABC doesn’t go anywhere far enough in its critique because it is now scared ****less of accusation one million about being a bunch of treehuggers. I will agree with you on one point. We do naturally gravitate to news sources that align with our world view. Or at the very least, we will steer away from news sources that make us want to put a boot through the tv. For me when I went factual reporting, I’ll go to the ABC every time be it tv or digital. And frankly anyone who wants to defund it because they were too tough on poor old George Pell can GAGF.

I guess I’m an extremist. Oh well. You do realise that ABC’s Insiders is now hosted by David Speers. The same David Speers who was a regular on Sky News and spent no less than 20 years with News Corp. You can see Ita’s fingerprints all over his appointment. The show now regularly features the likes of Greg Sheridan and Annika Smethurst. Both Murdoch head nodders. Afternoons on ABC News is hosted by Patricia Karvelas, another ex Murdoch employee. They have done several studies on bias at the ABC to try and appease the likes of Bolt, and evidently yourself, who truly seem to believe it is a greeny propaganda machine. Measuring what can be measured, like equal coverage during elections. Every time the studies show no evidence of bias. They also repeatedly show the ABC to be the public’s most trusted source of news compared to other outlets by a considerable margin. But it will never be enough, will it? Nothing will convince you. What WOULD convince you? More appearances from people who believe climate change is all a storm in a teacup perhaps. Shut up lefties and take your “science” with you. Opinions like yours aren’t just cliched. They are oh so bloody tiresome to listen to. Still love your work though, ding. Nothing personal.

So safe to say we can put a line through Hawthorn.
