Despite being a modern, professional and effective media organisation, the world does not exist except through the dark prism of politically correct prejudice. Media Watch is terrific - as long as you want to bash 'right-wing' talk radio personalities, tiny country newspapers and capitalist NewsCorp outlets. The more PC contibutors, Fairfax and Media Watch Itself get a free pass 98% of the time. They turned out tens of thousands of dollars worth of film crews to film a 12-man old buffers club debate on whether the ABC should be privatised (www.IPA.org.au, a tiny non-leftist think tank), then spent a whole week's program ripping contemptuous shreds off this harmless, low-profile exercise in free speech. Yes, I agree they are good when they are good, but they are a microcosm of the worst in public broadcasting too.

These guys are currently running a muck in Sydney and are racking up some quality numbers for the ABC. Hilarious!
