4.7 out of 5 stars from 5.7k ratings
  • ABC again with their WOKE bias agenda

    Incredibly one-sided and more like an echo chamber than an actual discussion. Every guest seemed to share the same leftie or Greens perspective, with zero attempt to include anyone with a right viewpoint.

    Good journalism should explore different perspectives, not just reinforce your own opinions. The bias was obvious and made the episode feel more like political advocacy than balanced discussion. Woke bias agenda! ABC, do better!

    Essential interview with Antoinette Lattouf. Trend in USA is for journalists going independent. And now in Aus 😞. Congratulations to Antoinette remaining true to journalism, doing her job - reporting facts! Apparently some facts are more forbidden than others.
