A real &#8216;hands-off&#8217; proprietor!

Already parts of James&#8217; testimony have been utterly refuted by former senior News Corpse functionaries.

You and your guest chastised us for &#8220;having our heads in the sand&#8221; about the panoply of of views surrounding an issue. I think that what is missing here is the role of &#8220;discernment&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>I enjoy listening to LNL and consider myself much better informed for it. I will not listen to John Laws or Alan Jones. Should I be criticized for not giving them a fair go at informing me of their points of view? I think not.<\/p>\n<p>For that matter I must tell you that when Mr Abbott is being interviewed on the news I turn down the volume because I cannot bear listening to him. Does this make me &#8220;wilfully blind&#8221; to his point of view and policies?
