I think you will find he is under instruction to give the other side of the story just for ratings. If they all play the same tune it will make for boring radio.
But you're right about your last comment Brian.

Why is it that on the same radio station of 2GB Ray Hadley & Alan Jones are on the same level & giving it to Baird & Grant & co., but Ben Fordham is still dribbling the same rubbish.
Surely he is smart enough to see the facts by now. But he is just sucking up to the gullible listeners that are still out there. Just after ratings. Nothing more or he would be on the same level as the other two blokes on there.
Ben Fordham get your head out of your rear end.
Your spot on Brian with your comments about Ben. I've listened to him over the past 2 & a bit years on 2GB & I've formed the view that he loves to sensationalize stories. He also hits the "Dump-Button" more often then most on his callers when their opinion gets a little hot under his collar.
Don't get me wrong, I think he's morally in the same boat as most...& that's his opinion, so good on him. .....but IMO he's very stubborn and hasn't seen the light. I believe he's total been miss informed & needs to listen & reevaluate his views.....That's if he's not apart on the Brethren.
On the other hand, Chris Smith (the midday presenter) has changed his views over the last 2 weeks & has a more balanced argument in favor of the greyhounds. He doesn't go chasing public opinion but simply forms his own, BASED ON TRUE FACTS...not public perception.. I think he's one of the BEST radio presentators going around, along side Hadley who also allows his callers fair play "on-air".
Alan Jones is absolutely fantastic at telling the story in simply terms.
I should also mention that Hadley DID have a shot about 10 days ago at what he stated as some of his "constituents" have been a bit wet behind the ears regarding this argument. I know who he was referring to......& so does the donkey.

I'm sure I heard Chris Smith mention something about a MEDIA RELEASE regarding DR FARUQI for the Greens NSW MP, turning up tomorrow at tomorrows peaceful protest with all her brain washed psychos 1.30pm.
I've searched the GREENS website but nothing comes up.
Can anyone else clarify or find anything on the Crazy Witch DR, or am I just hearing things?

Ben Fordham is a barely literate denture advertisement.

Just turn it onto 2GB if your like me & can't make today's rally. The amount of support the greyhound industry are receiving from NOBODY'S is incredible.
The Liberals are copping a hammering.

Duncan is a bit of a DUNCE if he is to support Baird. The report has more holes then swiss cheese.

He will be supporting Baird and claimed to have read the report....baaaaaaaaa . Just listened to Alan Jones - well done ! . P.S. I'm still trying to find my `Social Licence' to see if the Gestapo wants me or I am allowed to renew it.

It is amazing the LNP (Read John Howard) constant claims to differentiate LNP from the ALP - "The LNP is a broad church - our members are permitted to vote as individuals without fear of repercussions". Well John Howard you are watching the beginning of the end this statement - if this ban goes through I look forward to the press calling out Baird and Grant - they are seriously turning LNP values on its head.

Hedley Thomas your a CHAMPION.
What a top interview just done on 2GB with Ray.
I'll link the interview once it comes available.
He's exposed some very crucial facts regarding Baird & Newson.......Which we've all suspected.
This Greyhound inquiry is fast becoming more about the corruption from above.

Andrew, I believe Clint to be fair and straight, and was censured when the report was going through. Would be surprised if there was anything unto wards with Clint Bentley.
