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!

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.

Makes my skin crawl

This podcast is shameful. Today’s reporting on the UNs prosecutors finding that leader of of Israeli and Hamas are guilty of war crimes was actually just a 15 minutes of a guy trying to undermine the UN (plus lots of ads). 15mins of my life I’ll never get back. I force myself to listen to the front from time to time, so I hear a range of media sources, but it makes my skin crawl.
