Pete, you should have been in the newsroom, not the sales office!
Peter, you have nailed your true colours to the mast. Maybe a editorial position awaits you at the ABC.
I access the radioinfo website regularly to see what is happening specifically to the Australian radio scene. But the last thing I expect to see is a personal tirade about a non-radio political identity in another land.
Come on Peter: lets get back to the basics about what your website is meant to report and represent because your previous commentary has generally been balanced, relevant, informative and non-emotive. Please stick to your knitting!
While I look forward to the rest of the article, I don't want to second-guess the author's conclusions in next part.
There are many topics to discuss, including the politics and economics of the USA its role in the world and the emerging powers from Asia. That may well be the subjects of many theses.
Suffice to say, from a broadcasting perspective, why didn't the media challenge the handling of covid-19 infection with Mr Trump and the Governors of each state and allowing nearly 373 thousand deaths which could have been prevented while vaccines were being developed under the Operation Warp Speed was announced in 2020?
I believe that The Administration's and failure to co-ordinate a covid-19 program with the states may have contributed to The Administration's defeat in the 2020 election.
Having a belief that the virus is fake or it's a mild flu and the lack of enforcement and of its citizens of not practising safe-distancing and infection control
Something that the media should have investigated in depth.
Thank you,
