Obviously there should be more done to avoid inaccuracies, but when I watched that 4 Corners episode, I was pleased it had given me an understanding of the issues that Mark Poynter's previous biased articles (here) had not.

Really? Then why have you failed to offer any objective criticism of its findings, and instead resorted to vague allegations of bias and failure to understand the issues?

Definitely not! Four corners is a current affairs leader and one of the highest rating programs that goes to air in Oz. To be sure a number of ideologues want it and freedom of the press shut down or constrained.

These (Murdoch friendly) types can be relied on to limit freedom of the press every which way, every way they can. Why? because it harms a preferred narrative!

Four Corners has to stay, given it well may be, one of the last of a very few, last bastions of free and fearless informed fair and truthful reporting. And never fails as far as it is able to see, to allow those affected by their exposes, to have an INVITED right of reply and defence!

The only thing passed its use by date with regard to the ABC, is the funding limitations that a politically inspired Government has placed on it!

And needs to be lifted forthwith, without any further, infantile perverse political pervarication.

Next, on Four corners expose hit list has to be energy and our available choices and how soon will we have, if ever, a federal ICAC!? The latter, a likely reason for this Article?

Four corners?
And here I was, thinking the world was round and flat.

badly named, it should go!

Dear Mark,

You complain; "Clearly, being a professional forester with a varied 40-year career, including writing two books examining the enduring conflict over native forests, meant far less to Four Corners than being an ecological researcher."

The program was about the absurdly high extinction rates in Australia. I would much rather hear from an ecological researcher than for you to trot out the line that logging is somehow good for leadbeater possums.

Four Corners is exemplary in with quality of its reporting. There is nothing else which comes anywhere close.

More strength to their arm.

Four corners is for people living in the space defined by them, with a tv for a thinking brain.

Sad really.

A whole civilisation captured by an electronic magnet, the flickering cathode ray, the digital conversion therapy, the flat screen matching the flat unthinking earth, with It's sister ship human destiny, mirroring an orbiting electron, bound by the masters of the technological innovation of crowd control...destined for a firey reentry into Trump land.

Control to Donald Trump...Control to Donald Trump...this is Hillary...

Oh..and Dan.

No, Diver, that's not 4 Corners.

That's Sky News!
