    Paul Barry is paid about $200K by the public broadcaster to host a 15-minute show. Cuts? This is indulgence almost beyond belief, writes @chriskkennyhttps://trib.al/ojXj6Zw

        Spot on Chris Kenny. The amount of Salary costs the ABC dish out to these globalist elitist champagne Socialists is obscene. To say they are independent & mainstream is as hypocritical as the other bile spewed out by the ABC on a daily basis across all of its media.

        What a load of disingenuous bullshit. It might take Chris Kenny half an hour to regurgitate the same tripe every week. After alll, it’s just his opinion. Broadcasting a respected, well-researched TV show that is the very epitome of “keeping the bastards honest” takes a lot longer

        So don’t watch it. Bolt and Miranda are still on somewhere. Plenty love the ABC. The Australian writers aren’t exactly worth their pay checks regurgitating biased tripe

        If you want to watch the ABC you should have to pay, just like I pay to watch Sky news and read The Aus. Funny, all the alternatives that you suggest, you have to pay. Of course the left to expect others to pay for their news, they expect others to pay for everything.

        All I'm saying is that I shouldnt have to pay for partisan news and opinion. Why is it fair the conservatives have to pay for news and the left gets theirs free from the bloated ABC

        It’s your opinion that they’re partisan , the right wing are always invited to appear, it’s their option if they refuse
