Restoring The Balance?

Check out a show on Triple J on Sunday night's from 9pm called "Restoring The Balance". It's a satirical radio program that attempts to display the contrasting political views between the conservative Australian Howard government, and the majority of the Left wing government-funded Triple J radio station. The premise of the show suggests that the station was forced by the ABC board to broadcast a segment of right wing political views in order to restore the balance. A lot of people don't realise that's it's actually a satirical show, a joke, and they ring up all angry. Hilarious! But it's so obviously extreme! Hilarious, offensive and shocking to listen to, but also scary because so much of that thought is prevalent in our political arena.

    Heh, sounds pretty funny. I love th idea of providing an oppostie extreme of opinion just to point out what is often the equally irrational opposite extreme.

    Sounds fun. :)
