💯. Ferguson’s ‘interview’ was appalling - ignorant, embarrassing and predictably biased - with the influence of the Zio lobby more powerful than ever in this country. My initial fury has been taken over by despair.

Perhaps Pauline Hanson was right. Other than in remote and regional areas, the ABC should be funded by subscription instead of taxpayer dollars.

Why is Sarah Ferguson still helming the 7.30 Report?

Any journalist with a modicum of self respect would have resigned in shame after that appalling interview.

You have analysed it exactly as I saw it. (Note that the first paragraph references Sarah Henderson - not Ferguson.) She was an absolute embarrassment and merits being stood down/censured/sacked. The rightwing Australian ALP regime deserves to lose the next election to a House full of Independents - the extreme right and Pauline Hanson totally demolished.

Thank’s Jim - not sure why I was thinking of the other evil Sarah - hence to referencing her. ill correct it when I get home.

I think in structure/grammar terms it is something called collocation - where this word (or name) is automatically linked in the brain with another (or in your case here with another of similar (evil) dimension! We are all prone to it...

If this weren't the case I'd be shocked. State-funded and corporate media exist mainly for the purpose of manufacturing consent for the policies of the state. It's simply what they do.

A lot of us can’t stand Fergusson and want her fired. We are sick to death of her rudeness to interviewees, her tendency to interrupt her guests mid-sentence, and to attack or provoke her guests in the hope it will make her look strong. Fergusson is a fucking did and we all want her fired!

There's no respect for the interviewee.

Complaints should be made to the ABC

Another great piece that cuts to the chase George. The Western MSM is indeed lazy and has not pursued the truth in these and many other matters for decades. Remember Walter Cronkite telling the American people Vietnam was unwinnable despite Johnson’s claims to the contrary? If there was rational, fact based reporting that also took into account historical perspectives, Iran and Islam wouldn’t be the enemy, Israel would.

Well said and thank you for your kind words Andrew. Yes, if the truth were ever told and it never will be because there is no value in the proposition of honesty, the West wouldn’t have a fictitious enemy to fight, or wars based on delusion and fantasy or evil manufactured in the minds of the paranoid, deranged and the barbaric - yet unfortunately we do. Iran isn’t evil, Putin isn’t demonic crazed or crazed and China isn’t about to invade the Asia Pacific. These are fantasies invented to justify the barbarity of those who pretend to pursue peace yet thrive in the lust of misery and the subjugation it brings and creates.

I really cannot understand how that woman could have the gaul to show her face on TV again. She is clearly a propagandist for the USA and Zionism, but an incredibly incompetent one. Professor Marandi eviscerated her and, towards the end, when he demanded her source, I think she might have been beginning to understand she was way over her head.

Since when have bubble-butt, coiffed, overpaid teleprompter readers, with their cabal of researchers, working for legacy-leprosy media, Journalists? Presstitutes is a most mellow term for these mainstream-mainlining freaks.
