      You may not appreciate the sentiment but I believe your journalism has become too important to be presented only on this platform. Surely you must have been asked to also be a column writer on mainstream press and assuming this is correct why have you not accepted this? Conversely, if you haven't been asked the press here really is f'd.

      She was happy to be the face of the Murdoch fox in the ABC's henhouse.
      In her shitty commentary on the decades-based show, the best she could say of Whitlam was just that he was "very controversial"

Just an ABC political jurno hack that got to host a couple of not very watchable or memorable shows. I saw her on insiders recently and she lived up to my expectations. As a general rule, if she is on a show I switch over.

Because then people won't discover what a shit job the MSM do with all the access, money and brand recognition they have.

Is she now shocked and depressed about herself? Also why is it ok she pushed these insults into the public space, and probably a audience that would next see your commentary, but not ok for you?

    I started studying media and journalism after I finished high school. I found out without the editors approval (who is paid by the top news outlets- all owned by Murdoch, Packer and Rinehart - or other conglomerate merger media companies of billionaires).
    I was very disgusted with the nature of the profession as I had long wanted to become an investigative journalist. (Such as yourself).

I mean, I know we all ragged on Leigh Sales when she was the host of 7:30 (not sure how the new host is getting on, so I won’t comment), but at least she was hosting a daily show that was recognisable as journalism. Annabelle Crabb just seems to host pointless small talk shows, write an occasional bit of mediocre analysis on the ABC website, and somehow get called their chief online political writer. She’s truly the most baffling person in all of Australian media, in that it’s truly baffling that she gets paid for what she does.
