ABC SHAMELESSLY LEFT UNDER TURNBULL'S MATE

Malcolm Turnbull made his good mate Justin Milne chairman of the ABC, our biggest broadcaster and a foe of Tony Abbott. Milne in his first interview declared the  ABC was not biased. Did he watch Insiders this morning - seven hosts and panellists of the Left, and not a single conservative.

Did Milne  watch Insiders this morning - six hosts and panellists of the Left, and not a single conservative?

How can Milne watch the ABC flout its charter - its legal requirement to be impartial - so brazenly?

Reader Peter of Bellevue Hill:

A fine example of ABC ‘balance’ on Insiders this morning, with seven voices spanning from the hard left all the way to the Liberal left:

 Barrie Cassidy (centre-left)

Mark Kenny (centre-left)

Laura Tingle (hard left)

Lenore Taylor (hard left)

Kelly O’Dwyer (Liberal left - interviewee)

Mark Humphries (left of centre)

Dan Ilic (left of centre)

I’m not certain how far to the left ‘comedian’ Dan Ilic is - but far enough to have recently asked Abbott “Have you thought about expiring?” - by which, in context, he most certainly meant ‘dying’.

Have you thought about expiring? How much does that cost?
