Piers Akerman getting savaged on "Insiders"

[Tambaran]

Lenore Taylor, David Marr and even Barrie Cassidy were just showing up the fat, wobbling toad constantly. Lenore even told him to shut up and let her finish at one point.

Every time he made a stupid point, they excoriated him.

Great television. Toads like Akerman deserve what they get.

LOL. Insiders. They are all getting out their pent up aggression that the public aren't as stupid or gullible as we all thought they would be.

Imagine their frustration, waking up, and realising their beloved's were behind in the polls.

Looks like Labor is getting ready to start the mother of all smear campaigns against Abbott. Will come across as desperate and dirty imo, and will probably backfire.

 

[Grin]

Absolut pissa.

Obviously Piers, like the Liberal party, believe that Liberal supporters are ultra dumb.

I agree with them.

You'd have to be to swallow Piers' ridiculous, nonsensical bullshit.

That he is being called out for it will be used by dumb arsed Liberal supporters as evidence of ABC bias, despite that the ABC give oxygen to this Liberal party poster boy and sex symbol.

LOL. And here comes Grin with the "If you don't vote Greens, you're not informed" mantra.

I never said that.

I just made the observation that the more educated you are, the more likely you are to vote Greens and the less educated you are, the less likely you are to vote Greens.

It's a fact.
Even if it does infuriate you mindless banner waivers.

 

[Dry Rot]

PA rarely adds any value to The Insiders, except for the comedy. Tool.

 

[kimp]

Glad I saw this thread. Thought PA's rantings were being given too much air and the other panellists were too subtle in their derision.

I cannot believe that people like PA even exist and that they're described as journalists.

You must be a mental incompetent if you think Insiders is Labor-biased.

The fact that they regularly have New Ltd journalists, including extremists like Bolt and Akerman, on the show, is prima facie proof that that obviously isn't the case. And that Paul Kelly is their regular special guest.

Are you a mental incompetent?

 

[Pessimistic]

Oakes is much more subtle and damaging.

Do lib voters even watch Insiders ?

The piece on Oakes was enlitghening for me (I don't watch anything he's on). What a salamander he is. Actually he reminds me of that character from The Simpsons. How has he managed to get the respect that he has?

 

[pjcrows]

Anyone who thinks that Insiders is biased towards Labor needs their head checked.

 

[Caesar]

Akerman is a first-class tosser, but David Marr is just as annoying. He's smart but he's so bloody agenda-driven it's impossible to watch him talk about political matters.

Nope, why would we watch the ALP propagana network. Thats why the ABC does not matter no swinging voters watch it, just left wingers who love to toss off over how clever they are convincing each other.

Exhibit A: Unreconstructed redneck with an arts degree

 

[pjcrows]

Morgoth - ABC is an ALP propaganda network? When was the last time you sat down and watched an episode of Insiders or saw an ABC News report? You're talking bollocks, my friend.

Wow !! something i can agree with you on.

Andrew Bolt i can hardly come to grips with but he at least is intelligent & well prepared But Akerman is a rusty relic of bygone years & should be put out to pasture.

For every 1 of Bolt, there are 2 Labor die-hards plus Cassidy who hadn't interviewed Rudd for nigh on 2 years, and when he did get the chance, squibbed it.

To suggest Insiders is even remotely skewed towards the Libs is ridiculous.

 

[pjcrows]

I understand why Bolt is there. He divides opinion - BUT he is well sourced and does actually listen to what is going on around him. I don't agree with anything he says, but I can't deny it.

I do not understand why Akerman is there. It's bordering on ridiculous.

 

[noddy]

Anyone who thinks that Insiders is biased towards Labor needs their head checked.

Well i do know Barry Cassidy has no time for Rudd & he always lets the right wingers on the show have more say than any other journalist has.

Who suggested that ?

I would give the show a 60 - 40 toward Labor & that i can live with.

 

[pjcrows]

No ones really suggesting that Insiders favours either side. Most weeks it's OK, bordering on boring. It's when idiots like Akerman and Marr get a gig that annoys me. Too extreme to make any sense.

To suggest it's skewed towards Labor is ridiculous too.

Was suggested earlier in the thread.

Looks like we agree again. The show always two moderate and left leaning journos, and a right winger.

 

[Caesar]

I'd hardly call Marr a moderate. The guy is a foaming at the mouth lefty.

Mind you, he's an exception. It usually fits the criteria you describe.

Both are annoying. Unfortunately, rather than cancel each other out, they double the stupidity level of the show.
