Distracted and stupid

As a practical earth scientist NOTHING makes me more mad than panels of wannabes talking about something well beyond their understanding.  Murray Darling Basin, Food and water
For all his good intentions  ( old country - city chatter)   the chair of ABC the drum yesterday  ( Stan Grant ) was destined to drive everybody who isn't an idiot to distraction ;  having as usual , everybody  from the new managerial, academic and armchair  class who wanted to be there, to discuss the self select predictable furphy produced by our very own "4 corners" -so  someone on the conservative side of politics misallocated  some money. On water allocations.    They would all know about misallocation.    http://cuttingedgecare.blogspot.com

I will say no more, but sack them all if they don't stop trying to change people, cultures and worlds and do reporting  properly and let competent people speak.

  ALSO   Give country people BACK their right to have reps        Democratic convention

What to do with our Awefully Serious ABC

What do you do with any overly religious group in Western Culture  - you offer them freedom .You can tell them to lighten up , but such groups have to ditch their fears ( inc their weight of cynicism) 
The producers at ABCTV have been gourging up our taxes trying to be more funny ( Abc2/3 ) but its not working . I am not going to tell you here why because the whole hovel of TV production in the ABC needs to rethink elements of its culture . We are switching off .
 A return to real respect for the culture ( not always )we came from would clearly save aussies from the confusion and confounding free try at everything new thats killing TV; A return by our ABC  may help save us from the lostness of moral ( whats light /whats dark)  disease that is right across the media.more reporters? only if we get more reports.  Best practice is not to write the story but let someone else tell the story  ( one 2 one Ahndo ,Back roads Aus story)

Much of ABCTV has no idea of how to enjoy the truth about the human condition without offering some cynical  view of others and a weighty dumping of new theories and mixes of philosophy that simply don't work . And it not just Christians who are saying this .

1. Brendan O Neil  points to the cul de sac of misanthropy for example in which many reactionaries now find themselves . 
2. David Christian too reminds us that various naturalistic fallacies produce little but confusion
3.   JB Peterson reminds us that the philosophical frame of religion is not poison but the most powerful  force for good and evil . If you are a post modern reactionary who doesn't believe in evil you and your children may be lost in more darkness than you think so much for talking "shining light on things "       
   The overoptimistic children of baby booming era may have aged comfortably in the hallowed halls of comfort castle  but if cynicism is all they are offering they will lose themselves and their audience -- and are  They see no way forward-- we can tell because they keep doing things and speaking about the same old issues ( big whatever, conspiracy amongst conservatives just for eg ) Boring and predictable .

I will complete two reviews of ABC shocking lostness and inability to report properly  here shortly ( these Fake news and plain arrogance in commentary control are becoming normal )

1. Boring and predictable  774 Melbourne 25th June 2019   Nothing better symbolizes the overly serious religious frame of presenters here than the overly  serious way they field calls and come at issues . The snide petty and pedantic bush lawyers set the sail for the morning to nick pick the previous nights Q and A points of their interest . Boring and predictable self righteousness on show 
   How much more fun and unpredictable it was to listen to 3AW  where callers were honoured to tell their stories . U try to get through 774 panel when they are on a roll . watch the rollout and the wash up 000many who once listened NOW  just switch off 
2. Fake news 
   ABCTV news Monday night 24 June 2019 The news was made out to include millions of threatened species when it was about 2 pretty parrots and possums well known to those who have to/used to listen to the worry warriors..   Piss off same old stories and report new or different  
3. Misplaced concreteness leading to unecessary confounding The Drum 25 June 2019 ( Ellen Fanning ) Program shows how unreliable chosen panel members and discussion equity can be. ACOSS spokeswoman  freely moves to every other issue of note  leaving us with the normal impression of a stacked panel so typical of ABCTV programs like Q and A . Another hour of my life wasted wandering through the same old.   Weighted is the word
    Sure it looks OK to doubt on the surface , when you fact check (how many time mentioned )it The businesswoman for eg  i think was not an adequate rep moving around too much on the subjects   Restraint in commentary and the overly controlling arm waving  presenter leaves us with confusion ; her childish attempts to find cause and effect typical of the sub science and sus get nowhere style of reporting;
   No unexpected confronting facts can come from such panels ; panels will never be perfectly balanced but the drum is one hour  that could really improve the debate not dumb it down ;; Parliament is more fun and less predictable .
   We were left with trite noise and speculation about the human condition that i am sure frightened the only eco person on the panel .Even Adam fell for the furphy of the laughable money motivated charity drivers raised - one day we get Marxism , the next we get the glory of capitalism in its most obscene form . Good try i suppose but Ellen must seek to let panel go.
   Adam weighed up the need to "just do it"  in end but the audience by Fanning were left with the normal  confounding when conservative matters raised . The pathetic excuse of " we need more information " before we act shows how fears that characterize the inert inactive and incompetent left - Too many  think they have aright to control the government because THEY are not sure.  A lack of respect for the job and people in power MUST be addressed by staff .
4. ABC management should clearly instruct chairpersons  to argue for the peoples' choice even if they don't like it . Its childish nonsense and disrespectful to do otherwise , weed out this  disease .  No doubt the Greens and the cross bench will continue to play their disrespectful games -- another 3 yrs of pain  .

The wash up with the completely washed out

 The confident Jon Feine proclaims he will ,whatever happens tomorrow, run a program on Sunday 19th May 2019 to do "the wash up" . Little does he and Barry Cassidy  realize  that they are the ones who are washed up and out because they are both  on the wrong side of history and truth.

1. Corangamite will be retained by the conservatives ( see some reasons here) Victoria's most marginal seat .
2. Wash up is a cynical term . A symbol of the hole Faine finds himself in )  If either of those simpletons  were to do anything for the country they haven't matured  and would have recognized their lead in that subject is one reason so many of our children do not vote.  ( I was on campaign trial to encourage young people to vote and and get the a decent environment ,
   The legacy of the ABc is cynicism which wouldn't be so bad ( if it was just that -quite essential ) if it wasn't linked with clear failure to report conservatives and people who seek to represent a non progressive view - their judgement ( Progressives are stuck with the simple doctrine that conservatives  are backward and dinosaur like )
   
   ADAPTING  OR COMPROMISING
   
   Anyone watch just Tanya and Richard arguing the point about whose going to change the world on Qand A would be diching both children and their parties  . The ABC failed to see what its audience saw - two kids.
3. Most importantly the Conservatives focused on getting the kids out the Senate , The big problem ( the electorate knows it )  the simple worshipers at the ABC failed to address ( whose doing it ? ) Couldn't be those conservatives " they are so backward they can easily be ignored
   
   THE REAL ADAPTERS
   No despite church teaching , some conservatives know how and when to adapt - unlike the pedant priests at the ABC they know when tio change the name of an institution to presrev it form the morildund 
   
   
4. TAKE The ABC's shallow taunt that the Nationals are corrupt, It ignores the wisdom of the mature than no sensible person trusts parties ( we just reject the ones we trust least ) The conservatives are ahead  of the limpet like progressives in that they believe in adaption .
   Labor has no such idea ---it stupidly and incomprehensibly claims it will survive by compromise - The Labor advocates ( bill tanya and keanall)
   If the party does survive it wil still be just one big shallow empty shell called Labor
   
   You might not like Cori but anyone who starts a new party ( without a fortune  and an ego as big as a one - the two leading "friends"  of the majors )
   
5. Conservatives take the problems of Senate seriously - noone else seems to.
   
   TOKENISM AND PATRONISING --typical of any church
   Despite protestations neither Feine nor Epstein would come to the deep south ( say Colac) where they would learn that mere words and good intentions  are not enough to swing hearts in any highly productive creative community . Barrys wife  Heather has done a great job to hel p ( as Landline does ) the city understand a bit about the country but like any program that claims to call itself local,  it and most ABC rural political reporting been doing a shocking job for decades 
   WAY FORWARD ?
   Heal thy selves and some for soem absolution -- then you might desreve the cheques each week . 

DIMWITS and their doctrines

When the children are in charge,  you get this

Noisy arrogant irrational and more than a little hypocritical.

The high priests of the new churches of DIMWITS ( Doing It My Way Is Truth Societies ) church cannot challenge errors in thinking and excuses made for bad behavior . 

The high priests of such places are leaders in name only - they aren't parenting and mentoring well  They can't say NO and they even comply with the shallow Rhetoric of first thought Suffices f( RIFTS  in creating laws that crucify their ability to influence the children; make them think more deeply.  They make laws in the paradoxical name of discrimination ( can be a good or a bad thing - its use therefore suits those who want confusion    
DIMWITS,  by applying their very own doctrine of RIFTS don't allow  ANYONE in theirs or any other  household in the country ( big task) to make the error prone feel guilty .

For God's sake -it may make some pathetic,  lazy , arrogant and blind recalcitrant persons in your midst  change their ways and their pathetic self justifying logic.
