    Judging by the responses to this tweet, people aren't reading it or @bairdjulia's original. IPA people have been on 3 - three, III, trois, drei - times this year. People are carrying on like there's one every episode.https://twitter.com/BernardKeane/status/1023697577433165825 …

    I'm confused about the hysteria over the IPA's appearances on the Drum when it's been 3 times in 6 months. Not sure people have this is anything like proper proportion. Do they just not want conservative or right-wing views on the ABC at all? https://twitter.com/bairdjulia/status/1023009171073974272 …

        They should never be on. Ever. And if they are, they should be forced to disclose their financial ties to vested interests. It is nothing but a PAID ADVERTISEMENT. If you have ever put the IPA on anything, ever, then you are doing political advertising.

        The IPA presents itself as an independent think tank backed by thousands of individual donors. But legal disclosures reveal Gina Rinehart funds up to half its activities. http://satpa.pe/rinehb1475

        I almost feel sorry for them because you can't see the cyclone in the eye of the storm. Large corporations have hijacked all our institutions, including theirs and they haven't even noticed. They're just IPA spokespeople now and they don't even know #ausmedia #auspol

        I will say this, that Katharine Murphy & Malcolm Farr have a bit more integrity than others, Farr especially as he often doesn't toe the Murdoch line in commentary. But they are not prominent voices against the cacophony of anti-Labor rubbish.

        The problem is embedded in the entire question about "conservative voices" as though there are differing opinions on "facts'. Don't report an issue and then get an IPA stooge on to say that the sky is fucking red and then nod as if that is just as valid as saying the sky is blue.

        They are also on Breakfast News at least once a week, and are also regular guests on Q & A. But it's not just about their appearances, it's about the fiction that they are an independent think tank. I will be less troubled when they disclose donors.

        Just doubling down Bernard. Did you read my tweet giving reasons for not allowing IPA even one appearance on any ABC program? IPA wants to privatise the ABC. Comms Minister Fifield is an IPA member as are many in the LNP. Join up the dots. #auspol

        i read it and found it disingenous that she only refers to appearances this year. i also disagree with her notion that guests should be selected on the basis of their politics not their knowledge or expertise

        They are not exclusive. We both do. We must have expertise, and balance. I am not being disingenuous, I am providing our figures and being transparent. The number of appearances have reduced significantly but some have lost perspective.

        i stopped watching the Drum several years ago, as did many people, because of that IPA overkill (why else would their appearances have been 'reduced'?); i have begun watching again now that you are spreading the net wider, finding new voices. kudos for that ...

        I think @ABCthedrum is great and relentless criticism ludicrous. But, still think if any organisation refuses to disclose funding these days, that should be disclosed whether ABC or any other news organisation. Viewers deserve to know, so they can take it into account.

        Things must have changed then because I stopped watching #TheDrum when just about every episode had an IPA Rep or someone who had worked for the IPA present. If it has changed I might just head back for another look!

        Julia wrote about the drum only, commenters are frustrated about influence of IPA appearance on all political programs, all tv & radio & most print media platforms. Think they just get mixed up.

        You and Julia likewise dont understand the issue. Yes twitter is bonkers. But the issue is the IPA and the ABC as a whole. And how Julia talks about social media silos, but never mainstream media silos. And how the left twitterati are nuts but not how the right are also nuts.

        No I have written often about the trolls on the right. I am talking not of social media silos but all media silos. In one: Sky and the Australian. In another: the ABC and others. This is worrying.

        I will also add that the show has changed markedly for the better since you have taken it over. Why are people on social media angry? Perhaps the media could ask rather than telling us why. The lesser articulate people dont have a voice do they.
