ABC’s Insiders: as balanced as a fat kid on a see-saw
The ABC’s Insiders may include an equal number of panellists with diametrically opposed views, but that doesn’t make it “balanced”, says The Political Sword. One David Marr does not equal one Andrew Bolt or Piers Akerman.

The Australian’s Media section today carried a story extolling the virtues of the changes made to the Sunday program a year ago, thanks to the program winning a slew of 2007 Walkley Award nominations. That’s just half the story, writes Glenn Dyer.
