Any fair minded person would have to admit that they never heard O'Brien interrupt or talk over anyone from the left, during an interview.

They would also have to admit that they never heard an interview of someone from the right where he did not interrupt, & or talk over them.

Don't you remember the tears in his eyes during the election night when Keating lost? Anyone who could cry for Keating must be left of Khrushchev.

Hasbeen that is just not true. Kerry O'Brien was ferocious during his interview with Gillard during the campaign. He was very good at pushing a point when a question was being avoided and was quite the dog with a bone, when interviewing Gillard.

Anyone who thinks Paul Keating was a leftie must be off with the proverbial fairies. Keating was very much from the Right faction and hardly a friend of the Left with his privatisation and globalisation mania.

Too funny Hasbeen. Tell us another joke.
;)

Quite so Pelican.... as for Kruschev.... being 'to the left' of him is like being 'to the left' of Abbott and Co... not very hard at all.

Of course, if you accept that the ALP is a turgid rightwing mob of no hopers, then it might be said that O'Brien did only interupt rightwingers, but only because there is no such a beast as a 'left wing' politician in Australia.

Or perhaps we need a thread that identifies the 'real' leanings of our pollies, at least from the eye of the beholders in our deluded and disillusioned voterland?

There's no doubt he's a communist.

'Hasbeen that is just not true. Kerry O'Brien was ferocious during his interview with Gillard during the campaign.'

Oh come on! Ferocious? Every interview I saw he was red faced and smiling after one of Julia's girly chuckles.

And let's not forget not once, but twice in an election broadcast he confused the ALP with the ABC. Freudian slips.

Jooolia is a communist too...

Baron Julia!

A leopard doesn't change its' spots.

Except me. I used to be a left winger. Then I got tired of all that Chardonnay and lattes and chattering, so I switched to midfield. Now I'm pretty much a goalkeeper.

"Now I'm pretty much a goalkeeper"... funny, I'm sure that should be start with a 'w'.

Houlley
You are just stirring the pot.

I remember thinking I was a Communist for a short nano-second during my youth, that does not mean I am a Communist now.

If you used to be a leftie then you were probably the only one left (pun intended).
