Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

The Media Show | 28 November
Q: What drove the controversy around the arch-energy report on coal vs. solar?
Panelists argued the report was biased or selectively sourced, suggesting the primary sources were not disclosed and that the report served investors rather than a neutral assessment, raising questions about credibility and energy policy claims.
The Media Show | 19 December
Q: How did the media handle reporting on the Bondi attack and its portrayal of anti-Semitism?
The guests argue that coverage often amplified anger and bias, failed to scrutinize extremist rhetoric, and at times framed the narrative in ways that influenced political accountability and public perception.
The Media Show | 12 December
Q: Why don't we start with the Israeli-Hamas conflict? Do you have any general thoughts on the ABC's performance across this year covering it?
The panel suggests the ABC has sometimes treated the conflict with a bias that affects how the Jewish community is perceived, but there is tension about whether coverage has been objective and whether management has effectively balanced competing narratives.
