I don't know who watches Q and A and why they would - but I won't.
Doesn't anyone else wonder why your ABC makes extra special effort to accommodate many of the right wing dingbats from the Murdoch press every other week?
I am happy to fund the ABC - but I choose not to read the crap that oozes from Rupert's minions. My choice.
So why do I have to listen to and look at those same people who have a semi-permanent invitation on QandA and Insiders and a raft of other ABC shows?
Is Rupert owed something by your ABC? Does the ABC leadership think they owe him something? Are they all interviewing at NEWS Corp? Is there something Mark Scott should be telling Australian's? Is this the Board's idea?
It's weird - and it is outrageous - your ABC is not NEWS Corp yet - so please get the dingbats off the friggin show!

I agree wholeheartedly. I thought we watched the ABC to get away from the Murdoch Borg Media Empire? As 'contributors' to the debate they don't add anything of worth. This has been proven repeatedly.
Maybe their presence has to do with the fact that Mark Scott is an ex-Lib staffer, Maurice Newman, old mate of John Howard is still Chairman of the ABC Board, and Janet Albrechtsen and Keith Windschuttle, Howard Culture Warriors still have sway from their time on the ABC Board?
Murdoch already has about 75% of the Aus media. The ABC is supposedly there to give us diversity. The sums don't add up. If this is the best that the ABC can come up with they might as well be disbanded and closed down.
Secondly the Murdoch organisation and the most prominent of his lickspittles have always denigrated the ABC and it's presenters. Why have them aboard? Aren't the lickspittles hypocrits for taking the shilling of the organisation they have so vehemently criticised for so long?
