Bullshit, Bernard. Context is everything. On energy policy for eg, why would I ‘engage‘ with the ideas of a science-denying ideologue from the IPA? Simply inviting them to take part in that discussion would be an affront to rational debate.

The national broadcaster needs more climate deniers on. Look forward to the holocaust deniers getting a look in too

I must have missed the ep when the IPA rep discussed ideas...

Yeah but be realistic- That’s much easier to do for you three paid media professionals with blue ticks & regular public forums than it is for ordinary frustrated people to do on twitter, even if they use a thread!

Exactly- this attack on the audience is the most spurious case of bullshit I've ever seen.

I'm pretty sure one of the major criticisms people have of the IPA is the questionable integrity of some of their research. It's actually the media's job to interrogate these weaknesses, not defend them & attack the public for expecting better from you.

I would have thought it incumbent upon them to demonstrate that their ideas are right. But I won't apologise for questioning the spurious air of authority generated by some people deciding to call themselves an 'institute'

Correct. But disclosing membership of IPA is a great short cut to someone's background.

#TheDrum panel repeatedly just wave through lies without any challenges..we are not just talking about 2018..we are talking about 2017, 2016, 2015, 2014, 2013..when the IPA were on every week lobbying their agenda..it seems their political goals have been achieved now...Thanks.

Exactly Bernard. They can’t just ‘pronounce their wisdom ‘ without producing evidence to support their views. We’re all interested to see

@ABCthedrum's obligation is to provide credible perspectives from left, right and centre to get an airing of genuinely contestable ideas. But if one of the guests, ostensibly there to provide 'balance', can only offer exasperating perversity, respectful debate is the casualty.Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better.

difficult upfront question of whether the party is really engaging with ideas, the successful development and deployment of conspiracy theories v climate science was never genuine, and trickle down has 40 years of evidence it does damage but some still want to share the 'idea'

This ignores the fact that the cost of generating bullshit is 1/10th the cost of negating it. It’s not a fair fight. That is how they tie you down - by using your good faith against you. Enough.

And the IPA on how their pronouncement is supported by evidence
