More news, less Lehrmann/ Higgins drama!

I really enjoy the daily update when there is a decent news story being reported. But the obsession with some topics like the Lehrmann/Higgins case is tedious. If the best story of the day is that a psychic went to the Higgins/Sharaz wedding then perhaps you should broaden your scope! So many more interesting things to discuss. Stick to actual politics or news worthy stories and I’ll keep listening!

Propaganda

I enjoy The Front most of the time, but I won’t listen to the likes of Greg Sheridan and other political journalists serving up one-sided propaganda in the guise of news. Reading other recent reviews on this podcast, it seems I am not the only listener who finds this nonsense utterly repellent.

Lacking impartiality

I have quite enjoyed this program at times, however the impartiality of some of the journalists leaves me very disappointed.

Unbiased reporting of the University campus protests would be greatly appreciated. Yet another example of biased reporting by the Australian.
