The main reason I no longer watch ABC's #Insiders is that host David Speers uses the program as a platform for the Liberal Party to push its agenda (with no serious challenge or critique) and for his own blatant snide anti-Labor bias. 😠 #auspol #ThisisNotJournalism
@PeterWMurphy1 David Speers books the guests. Got it.
@PeterWMurphy1 The ABC’s purpose is to deliver valued services that reflect and contribute to Australian society, culture and identity. Its vision is to be the home of Australian stories – accessible, bold, creative. The ABC is failing its own vision statement
@PeterWMurphy1 It mirrors the reason I do not listen to ABC radio anymore. It is just a mouthpiece for the ALP. Journalistic standards in Australia are very sub par - and that is being kind.
@PeterWMurphy1 The question for me is; Why did the ABC employ Speers if they wanted to appear balanced?
@PeterWMurphy1 I watch it because he is pretty balanced. But if you have preconceived ideas, it’s easy to seek validation
@PeterWMurphy1 James Patterson thinks superannuation for women on maternity leave is ‘welfare’! He is a disgrace and represents everything that is wrong with the LNP! #Insiders #LNPNeverAgain
@PeterWMurphy1 Spent last week asking Bowen, what his opinions were on Liberal talking points...
@PeterWMurphy1 Yes, and they'll laugh and say we are just seeing it from the left. I'm happy to see Labor held to account by journalism with integrity, but Insiders just allows a platform for repeating Sky News headlines that will give the LNP a free pass, in my opinion. No depth.
