Poirot,

If you want to push any agenda you can find some nut job blogger pushing your barrel. You should note that with regards the topic of the thread I have only referred to what has been reported in the mainstream media backed up by statements from the partners of G&S, not the vitriolic blogs peddling fantasies. That goes for everything else I put forward.

I would suggest you use the same discretion.

Thanks Lexi. I see not much has changed around here, still the same old biases and rose coloured glasses in the sport of politics. :)

To illustrate the face of Aussie politics it was interesting to witness the responses to Leigh Sales after her interview with Tony Abbott on ABC's 7.30 Report. For sometime the ABC has been criticised for strong anti-Labor bias, Mark Scott in particular has come under attack. Suddenly the detractors come out of the woodwork to praise Sales's interview with Abbott. These same detractors who condemn the ABC when the ALP or Greens candidates are equally scrutinised. And the right wing has always seen the ABC as a cesspool of socialists so not much room for honest debate on that front.

Kerry O'Brien and Leigh Sales show no favours and thus will always invite criticism from both sides which means they are doing their jobs at keeping the pollies honest. That is really the point, but many only feign an interest in honesty when claims are made about the opposite side.

Groupthink is probably a facet of human nature we have to live with but surely there is room to rise above it.

SM,

"If you want to push any agenda you can find some nut job blogger pushing your barrel..."

hmmm...I note that you used the Independent Australia site to prove your point regarding the credit care/license issue. It's all right to use "nut job blogger sites" when it suits your particular cause, I see.

Here's a mainstream link on the issue:
