  • Fascistic propaganda

    I engage with media from across the spectrum and keep an open mind to all reasonable views but this program is simply disgusting. Branding ordinary Australians marching against the starvation of children as antisemites and simpletons is appalling. If you can’t hold two ideas in your head at the same time; that Hamas is an awful terrorist group AND that Isreal is perpetrating genocide, you either aren’t smart enough to have this platform

  • You have lost me.

    Total bias.

    I am a conservative, you take it to a different level.

    Your station is commercial, so can be right leaning towards your audience.

    But please don’t exaggerate

  • Pathetic

    Just a bunch of Trump supporting rednecks, with zero skills is professional delivery of facts, and happy to distort anything to get political leverage on their own twisted agenda. Their attempt to Americanise Australia, and they think everything they say is the only option. A scary group of wrongly opinionated narcissists.
