Overnight With Michael Mclaren

The public broadcaster ABC faces a serious issue highlighted by Laura Tingle's racism rant, revealing a breach of impartiality. Critics argue that the broadcaster, commonly known as Aunty, has grown too large, institutionally left-leaning, and arrogant, especially in handling dissenting voices. Mike discusses this with Tom Switzer, The Australian Newspaper contributor, Executive Director of the Centre for Independent Studies & former ABC presenter, whose programme aimed to challenge prevailing views with conservative perspectives. Despite past periods of national service, the ABC now appears to cater predominantly to a left-liberal demographic, neglecting its obligation to represent diverse viewpoints, causing frustration and alienation among many Australians.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
