I enjoy many ABC shows but it is not the choice of guests that is imbalanced. The presenters themselves are given significant leeway to insert their personal leaning in the way they moderate, comment or question. The rules of balance are followed in content, but the people hired to front shows are very monotone in their political viewpoint.Log in to Reply

What about class? This industry is infested with middle-class people because of the cost barriers to entry. Everyone at the ABC seems to have gone to the same schools and even studied the same subjects. Just sayin’.
