Factualness is our watchword...the ABC should be reliably politically non-partisan. (Kim Williams, Menzies Oration). Bloke's a dill, completely out of touch, makes Ita Buttrose look like a media genius.

This is a very scathing piece even by Binoys standards of leftward Ho the wagons.
Poor Aunty is not left enough! Now that is an encouraging sign I might say…But I still won’t be bothered with it! Posted by diver dan, Monday, 2 December 2024 9:41:35 AM

Apparently being 'diverse' only counts when THEY decide the broad range of content, but not when others do.
Go join the Gestapo you hypocrites. I'm sick of being constantly beaten over the head by all this virtuous nanny state crap. Posted by Armchair Critic, Monday, 2 December 2024 10:27:29 AM

Williams admitted that he's never listened to/watched Rogan. Yet he's willing to make strident, obviously uninformed assertions.
Rogan finally, in the final days of the campaign, came down on the side of Trump. I suspect if he'd come down on the side of silly old Kamala, then Williams and all the ABC cultists would be singing Rogan's praises. And speaking of not understanding Rogan, Binoy asserts that Rogan "drew Donald Trump to the microphone in a meandering conversational epic of waffle and disclosure lasting three hours.." If Binoy had any understanding of his topic, he'd know that most Rogan interviews last several hours and are just unstructured conversations without an agenda. That's why Rogan is popular. Its also why Kamala refused to go on Rogan's show - she's incapable of coherently putting two sentences together let alone having a 3 hour meeting on minds.

Rogan* and peers in the 'manosphere' are not very listenable, presume even Rogan.... has to dumb himself down for listeners to understand....
The real storyline related to Rogan is how with other Anglo podcasters, writers etc. they attack and denigrate or simply complain about the centre for being woke, elitist, female, university educated etc., while disappearing the right from criticism. In the US it's described as the IDW intellectual dark web or Pinkerites including Alex Jones, Jordan Peterson, Niall Ferguson, Charles Murray/Bell Curve, Russell Brand, Douglas Murray et al. Also fossil fuel Koch Network's faux free speech Spiked and white nativist Tanton (SusPopAus) Network's Pioneer Fund; it's not a whiff of social-Darwinism, it's eugenics..... https://www.pinkerite.com/p/who-is-behind-pinkerite_25.html Posted by Andras Smith, Tuesday, 3 December 2024 4:04:08 AM

Maybe this is why these people dislike Joe Rogan
