What a disgrace the national broadcaster hiring such an obvious partisan right wing hack.

Seems an odd fit. I’ve found his reporting in the past to be a tad sensationalist and occasionally partisan.

Why the F is 7.30 platforming those rabid Israeli ministers on the issue of Gaza nightly? Those people are vile and offer no value to this earth, hell a lot of them are a waste of oxygen entirely.

7:30’s judgement on the whole conflict has been pretty wide of the mark. Reckon a few staffers would have been quite surprised by the huge numbers and peaceful nature of the protests over the weekend.

Why didn’t 730 cover the Kirk shooting? I tuned in at 730 but nothing. Fairly big story in the news cycle.

7.30 is not a news bulletin.

It’s a curent affairs program where they do in-depth analysis on stories. They may do one later on when they analyse the whole thing.

It was covered extensively by ABC News when I tuned in yesterday.

I feel like they have covered prior large news events and this was no different.

I’ve stopped watching lately they seem to going to the far left. The entire ABC is going that way.

Personally I think they’ve actually tipped rightwards. A lot of negative stuff on Labor and a lot of overseas content that wouldn’t look out of place as a Murdoch hit piece. Ferguson’s also quite aggressive with Labor politicians and ministers, definitely not leaning left.

ABC 7.30 AUSTRALIAN EXCLUSIVE

Kamala Harris talks with Sarah Ferguson

Wednesday 29 October 7:30pm

In an Australian exclusive, former US Vice President Kamala Harris sits down with 7.30’s host Sarah Ferguson to reveal the behind the scenes of the shortest and most consequential Presidential campaign in modern history, and to discuss where to from now for her and for the Democratic party.

7.30 - Kamala Harris, 107 days airs on Wednesday 29 October at 7:30pm on ABC TV and ABC iview.

ABC host Sarah Ferguson cops backlash from viewers over Kamala Harris interview

The ABC is under fire after sharing a new clip of “the moment you didn’t see” from its star’s tense Kamala Harris interview.

A prime time ABC host has been accused of “bullying” Kamala Harris after a behind-the-scenes moment from the uncomfortable interview was shared.

Sarah Ferguson flew to London for a sit down chat with the former United States vice president who was in the UK for one day to promote her new book, 107 Days.

On Thursday, the public broadcaster shared a video to social media of a moment in the sit-down chat that was left on the cutting room floor.

It shows Ferguson in the middle of asking about the “purpose” the book when one of Ms Harris’ aides interrupts to flag that it was the last question.

And fairly so! It was a shocker.
