The search for deeper things

While I liked Sarah Ferguson's closer engagement with people in the domestic violence series, I struggle with her questions. Dumb sub scientific "why" questions especially .We used to pay ABC to report - not run scientific investigations . Now they think they can solve problems or even understand them .Where's the respect at the ABC for those who do that properly  in the truly complex matters of healthcare ?
Filling their programs with their favorite words ideas and questions is one thing,  but not seeking much advice is the tragedy in most of this; the deeper things ( below)are not uncovered.
In a paradox of heavenly proportions they talk of " shining the light " on things . Too Christian to be believed from them . Maybe they are confused about what deception looks like ?

Nowhere does this strange  habit of cynical journo asking dumb question  become an obvious downer  to us in the audience  than when the person being asked the question has something to hide or is stuck in celebrating my ideas mode .
While the latter is increasingly common,  it is  not helped by self select but stacked panels on  everything from QandA to TheDrum .
Dumb questions are OK but they should come from the audience - they don't. QandA 's staged question setup was never so obvious as when Malcolm Turnbull was on recently.
Anyone would think Malcolm  was a christian ; deserving the tearing apart treatment you get in Emperor Jones Colosseum
Everyone has something to hide ; Our ignorance our prejudice . That's why the lack of real independent observers on ABC is so annoying ,.     We all know the technique - have a least one lone outsider that fulfills our obligation even if it provides just a convenient beating up, moving on  target should they get to speak for too long . The ABC has a really bad habit of wasting our time, They do it with titillating and splash statistics. Edgy  but with no go boundaries.No dumb questions from the audience makes the above programs amongst the most pretentious  on TV.
Everyone should be learning while  at the ABC,  but many are not .
What really annoys me is that behind and under the shallow response to domestic violence epidemic we get refusal to talk and face the underlying issues of " not feeling good about yourself "   and anger ( not being understood )

Where does all the hate come from ? Clearly many in church don't know . Many ignoring its causes under the surface
While noone at the ABC dares to mention  the hell created by a generation who encourage self focus
ABC church will do no good .
Like the more sustainable meeting houses,  maybe the new church  needs soem sort of  confession to start off so they can really move on.( as they say)
The projection onto others ( hate ) is going to grow while  ABC doesn't know it, confess it ,and talk to it .

They are so ignorant of sound scientific and logic practice that they go FACTCHECKING not FACTSELECTING , Fulla there own predjudice as the unbalanced panels often show .
