I gave it away a long time ago

Thats because the ABC is full of lefties and you dont like lefties.

Bennymacca would love it as hes a raging lefty

I watch ABC more than any other free to air channel

I just find Q&A to be a load of crap where
1. hypocritical politicians get to rant and totally forget history
2. if you say you vote Lib you can get in regardless of the 52 tattoos, dreadlocks and 20 rings through your face so they can show 50/50 voting preference
3. uni students get to tell us all how bad their life is because of us and how they know how to change the world (because they don't have to pay for it)

Give me Australia Story, 4 Corners and Foreign Correspondent any day

Roger Franklin the online editor of far-right journal Quadrant has written an article lamenting the Manchester bombing hadn't happened in the ABC's studios.

Foreign Correspondent carries some excellent stories.

I used to try and watch Q&A regularly and also wondered how on earth the audience voting preferences matched up with the actual audience behavior that was on display. It never made any observable sense. From my snippets these days nothing has changed.
But it is more the dominance of the panelists who sprout the soft left, smug pieties, the denial of terrorism threats in the West for example that has ended it for me. This week of all weeks. The smugness was sickening.

I gave up on Q & A. Complete bullshit.

I quite enjoy Paul Murray. At least there is some sensible debate happening there...

[bennymacca]

They just end up getting lunatics from both the left and right on there to say some idiotic and inflammatory things, as this is what gets reported in the news.

Q & A is tripe, it's like a toned down Jerry Springer. Paul Murray is a pillock. I enjoy watching Peta Credlin, makes sense, no bullshit and takes no prisoners on either side.

100% agree re: the three shows you mention. Some top level journalism on all three.

Q and A would be watchable if they (a) got rid of the pollies and left it as a commentary roundtable with interesting speakers and thinkers from all sides, and (b) got rid of all the ******* tweeting and social media simulcast nonsense.

Agreed. I was just thinking that

And, as usual, defends naivety about FIFA and our $46m
If he'd slipped me a mill, I would have spent a whole afternoon bringing him up to speed
But, according to him, we've learnt now
