ABC will not allow any alternative point of view, either by way of having a guest commentator on the program, or by taking paid advertising which differs from the White House view.

ReplyDeleteThe problem SB, is that most American commentators who are critical of any move towards universal healthcare aren't reasonable thinkers who will advance logical arguments. I don't think it's an exaggeration to say that the vast majority of the American right is ruthlessly dishonest and partisan when it comes to public commentary. In Australia we might have Tony Abbott on Q and A and actually find it interesting. In the US, anyone associated with the GOP would blather nonsense about Stalinism and anyone from the non-GOP conservative movement would be an extreme minority view.
