I agree, this discussion on pedophilia is so tangentially on topic that it has only just survived thus far. Anymore discussion of pedophilia, feminazis etc. on this thread will earn someone a demerit point and possible suspension! Unless they are discussing it as a way of getting us back on topic.

I just hope The Age links to this page in it's next article about this!

RobP,

<<Programs like:

4 Corners
Sunday (when it was on)
Lateline
Landline
7.30 Report
ABC News Radio
Mainstream print journos like Megalogenis, Grattan, Kelly, Sheehan, Waterford, etc.>>

Your ARE joking? Right?

Spindoc,

Nope - but maybe I see the world differently to you.

4 Corners is prepared to lift the lid on dirty little secrets in society - the ones that other programs tend to ignore. Lateline is into the latest piece of breaking domestic and international news, current affairs and opinions. Landline is into grass-roots stories in the rural sector. The 7.30 Report is into stories, mainly with a human element involved, that hardly anyone else reports on. ABC News Radio has many good interviews on the state of thinking in the political parties etc.

I know these are nominally left-wing leaning but it's not their fault they're dominating the field. If the right wants to get involved, it knows what it needs to do ... get it's hands dirty and get involved.

While Formersnag is, no doubt, grateful for your leniency, please point out the tangent when you stated:

"his discussion on pedophilia is so tangentially on topic that it has only just survived thus far"

Your edification would be appreciated.

BTW, you were quite correct in not publishing Lee Rhiannon's article on Turnbull's funding raising as it was a substantial piece of investigative journalism as opposed to opinion.

Cheers

I fully endorse Fractelle's query. Would you mind explaining why Formersnag's comments on pedophilia and feminism - in particular his/her statement that '... lesbian, feminazi, paedophiles, seek employment in DV refuges' is 'tangentially on topic'?

His/her claim is not only way OFF topic, it seriously borders on hate speech and is disturbingly defamatory to the people who work in the domestic violence field, many of them as volunteers.
