Sarah Ferguson’s clash with Professor Mohammad Marandi wasn’t merely an uncomfortable interview - but a revealing moment reigniting questions about objectivity, preparation and the role of the ABC.
Good one George. Fergusson is a philistine. Yet it’s not just her, it’s almost all western media. All tainted by Zionist ideology if not Zionist control. Are they all on Israel’s payroll? Are they all brainwashed or brain dead? Have they sold out for privilege and power? Synchophants sucking on a foreign country’s handouts and lies. Truth in reporting is dead!
I’m in Canada, so please do a follow-up if Ferguson gets fired. Marandi has been interviewed enough that you would think the Zionist propagandists would have learned they can’t best him. He’s got intelligence, experience, facts, and truth on his side so it would be best to listen and learn from him.
arresting, brain-throbbing, and soul-shattering elucubrations, george karim. my erumpent plaudits for your persistence and moral clarity, particularly on behalf of the iranian victims of the MSMs' and the sarah ferguesons' who rage maniacally across the media landscape, spewing their poisonous, craven, mendacious toxicities to the gullible, stultified, and stupefied hoi polloi. the international arena needs a plethoric plenitude of articulate truth-seekers like you and mohammad marandi.
Can't watch ABC 'news' without a sick bucket close by. The failure has been in place a long time. If you want to see an older version of someone humbled by their own ignorance have a look at Richard Carlton's interview with Ghassan Kanafani from 1970. Excruciating stupidity versus erudite dignity.
Graene - The ignorance of stupidity hasn't changed. Listen to Kanafi dismantle Carleton and how moronity exemplified itself when there's a failing of understanding of to appreciate people fight and what the motivations for their cause to fight are. The platitudes of motherhood statements and naive ideologies of peace are comical. ignorance is rife in this interview. https://youtu.be/VugLJR5afLY?si=TrfXtikOuL4NY122
Kanafani was someone very special. A true hero if such a thing exists. Brilliantly smart and full of courageous commitment. I love his retort to Carlton's naive question about dialogue and talking...'what, like a conversation between the sword and the neck.'
much obliged, graeme rickards, for alerting us to ghassan kanafani's captivating and devastating responses to the puerile carlton's interview of ghassan. he was an extraordinary palestinian spokesperson for the besieged, dismissed, and dispossessed palestinians. kanafani was the victim of a mossad-planted car-bomb in beirut in 1972 when only 36 years old... due primarily to his profoundly effective advocacy, powerful leadership, and the very erudition and dignity about which you write. 1
6 years later, in 1988, our family moved to ferdous in the hashemite kingdom of jordan, at which time the palestinians in the refugee camp where our family volunteered on weekends, were deeply involved in the 1st intifadah. we were so moved and outraged by what we learned of the palestinians' disenfranchisement and devastations, suffered during the zionist-perpetrated nakba, that we joined the popular front for the liberation of palestine's local chapter near amman. we were compelled to meet in private palestinian hutments, in the dark of night to avoid discovery by the jordanian authorities. one of our members named basil was rounded up, thrown in a jordanian prison in the desert near petra, and beaten nearly to death. you can well imagine the deleterious impact it had on the rest of us, but inevitably, it indurated our determination to carry on resisting, no matter the consequences.
Thank you, Jeanie. I'm not sure if it was a post on Instagram some time ago which drew me to this man but whatever the source, I am forever grateful. What an indictment of the entity and its supporters in the west that such an advocate was considered a threat and deserving of death. I have not encountered the sadistic tentacles of terror which you and your friends endured. I live in Australia, in a strange state of limbo, trying to relate to people while knowing our self-interested perceptions are all built, from the ground up, on ignorance and gaslighting.
you are a sagacious fellow, graeme, and a humble one; you recognize that you and the rest of us must be included in the deluded-donnards category, despite realizing that "our self-interested perceptions are all built, from the ground up, on ignorance and gaslighting." bloody insightful.
Thanks Graeme - I've just watched the Ghassan Kanafani interview by Richard Carleton. Looking back at those times compared with what I now understand I can't say that I would have been aware of the Palestinian position. But thanks to this and responses from Jeanie McEachern - and to learn of Ghassan Kanafani's murder by the Zionists - I can see easily that Sarah Ferguson is in the same ignorant vein as Carleton. She has learnt nothing except as someone else here - Susan Hastings - has pointed out - Jillian Segal has not been properly investigated for her Zionist ideology - the ABC News Division has totally failed us. It is no longer "our ABC". The great defender of the ABC the Victorian academic/writer June Factor must be turning in her Bundist-ancestral-identity grave!
I’m amazed she still has a job, after this and many other failed interviews where she was rude and obviously hadn’t done any homework. We know that the ABC is under threat from Jillian Segal and the rest of the Zionists, but at least if she, or the team, had done their research it wouldn’t have gone quite that badly. I listen to Matt Bevan’s are you listening precisely because he researches his topics and provides valuable background.
Particularly at the ABC but also elsewhere in the Australian media we no longer have journalists.
Instead we have paycheque stenographers who will say and write whatever they are told to do.
As the American political writer Michael Parent once noted: “You say what you like, because they like what you say…. you don’t know you’re wearing a leash if you sit by the peg all day.”
This is great George. I hope it ignites the hard conversations we need to have. Ultimately, masking truth presents us with a genuine possibility of living a dystopian future. The advanced viewing for how that catastrophe unfolds is available now across the USA. Just turn on Fox News.
This de facto "debate" degenerated into what might be called either a "rabbit-hunt" or an "ass-kicking" (or "arse-kicking" for those who prefer British English). Professor Marandi took Sarah Ferguson to school. Sadly, she learned absolutely nothing, but I hope at least a few people learn how easily facts can demolish the UK/US/Zionist lies.
More brilliant analysis - For many months - more in fact - we have scarcely watched any 7.30 - not really being able to stomach the hubris of Sarah Ferguson - not so different from that of her husband Tony Jones who formerly held a similar kind of role before he was due to be sent to China - when China had the good common sense not to accept him…
You have put your finger right on the probem - SF is not asking questions to learn the thinking of the guest - to get at a truth which an intelligent audience can work out for itself - rather she browbeats the guest and the viewers with Gotcha questions not based on seeking the truth but to present her received narrative (received in one way or another from the government’s official line/narrative. That is most definitely not her role!
Pleasure Jim and everything your commentary raises is spot on. There's one thing you can be certain of - both Ferguson and Jones are suited to each other - both are scum.
George another excellent post - “it was the catastrophic collision of arrogance and ignorance…..”etc. Hmm….who else immediately pops into our minds? No prizes for guessing….. also - “The disease is Western media’s pathological inability to report on countries that refuse to submit to American hegemony”. 🎯
"The disease is Western media's pathological inability to report on countries that refuse to submit to American hegemony."
Reading some of the finer tuned corrections above referenced to corporate-captured redesign of factual elements in the geo-political-e-con-o-my of daily sponsored news casts brings reels of visits back to immediate memory and my review of bookshelves too long overlooked of those academic working (if marginalized) truly curious journalists who were bred on one side of the Atlantic or the other on the mining of intellectual turnover of the 20th Century's double world war's booty and surrender of national treasures under "Global Trade" at the missile point of one Imperial Military Industrial Complex constantly needing to be fed and lubed on the oil fields and "efficiencies" of the Ruling Class Propaganda Model....
Michael Parenti referenced above (thanks for adding the telling vowel at end of his sir name) was both a conscientious and good neighbor\educator on the more progressive fringes of mostly military contracted out Berkeley-Concord-San Francisco-Silicon Valley campuses of Post WW II and Communist crasser Cupidity of the global shipping lanes and Trade Agreements so carefully calibrated towards Wealth Concentration and nipping wealth redistribution in the idealistic hypnotic manicured tech campuses the compulsively if imperially maintained lawns, gardens, hot-house Intel hives with buds and STEMs productively budding and stemming afresh....

Good and always sharply edged humored Michael Parenti on the diversions of Cold War while high tech cupidity took hold across global imperially underwritten Heavy Industry & High Finance (Hi Fi).
