I've ...My message to Annabel after her article:<br />I've always found you an entertaining and witty writer.<br />I read your column today in fairfax.<br />I think you articulate well what is totally wrong with the press gallery these days.<br />Journalism should be about accountability and not about conflict and gotcha moments. Despite what you say, there is little emphasis on accountability in the press gallery. There seems to be as little understanding of everyday Australians from the press gallery as there are from politicians.<br />Saying there are some small, independent platforms of real journalism out there, does not let you and the press gallery off the hook.<br /><br />It may be your job to make 'Kitchen Cabinet', but it was your choice to get payed huge amounts of money to do this. If you think that making, what is in effect advertising puff pieces, for people who are responsible for the torture of children, is somehow valid journalism, then don't complain when people who actually care about these issues are upset and critical. No one wanted you to stab Scott Morrison in the eye with a butter knife. That is a cop out. You say that your mission here is to provide an insight to politicians. I'm sorry. But it sooo doesn't. Giving a platform to politicians to look cute and cuddly over a ganache does not inform anyone about the political system. Honestly your program comes across as an opportunity for politicians to spin themselves as everyday 'caring' people. Nobody thinks you're a fluff head. If they did they wouldn't be concerned at all. It's much more about the frustration of the press gallery to do their job, - make politicians accountable to the people they represent. Maybe for a bit of journalistic balance you could take a lemon meringue to some of the refugees in the detention centres and let them also have a few minutes to wax lyrical to the people of Australia about what devoted Christian believers they also are.N Gnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22534369.post-49291682385389280072015-11-13T11:34:24.173+11:002015-11-13T11:34:24.173+11:00Great piece and spot on.

Your analogy of her PR puffery with the kind of political 'journalism' that you would get if Australia was not a democracy really nails it. This is a 'show' that politicisan sramble to go on, representing as it does the equivalent of an uber stroll around a shopping mall, (stage managed fake smiles, cheesy grins, easy quips and all) beamed into millions of houses around the country. <br /><br />Crabbe does light entertainment/PR for powerful people and to suggest as others on here are have that some kind of meaningful political insight can be gleemed from her puff pieces is as vacuous as saying that you can read profound meaning into the way a pollie dresses, or the way they banter on breakfast radio. Maybe so if your engagement with politics is at the very shallow end of the pool. <br /><br />The idea that Crabbe has pretentions to political journalism is just laughable. Her written work exudes a soft middle class (Adelaide private school girl) privilige and complacency that struggles to take politics seriously and reeks of someone who has not had too many encounters with the pointy end of the real world. Her approach is fine if your gig is to host "the Price is Right' but it has no place attaching itself tumour like to politics, the media coverage of which is already in a parlous state. . <br /><br />Focusing on the persona of the politician (and not interrogating their values, ideas and political actions) is just another variation on the modern day dumbing down of political coverage. Politics is too important and it effects peoples lives in too real a way to be dealt with like this. This is why the cringeworthy puff feature on Morrison was a bridge too far for many people. The gap between the brutal reality that this guy has inflicted on vulnerable people and the smiling, jokey, fawning, christian family man, good guy (who by the way is a dab hand in the kitchen - would you believe it!) conjured by Crabbe was just too much for people to tolerate. <br /><br />I've got nothing against Crabbe's desire to be a media personality and will support a submission to ABC management for Crabbe to host a weekly light celebrity chat show or cooking show thats about the food, but lets have her dispense with the facade of political journalist. Someone needs to tap her on the shoulder and have a long hard chat with her.

I have always found KC a puff piece that tries to equate serious politics with whether so and so is a good host or has a cute hobby. <br /><br />These people are making decisions with far reaching implications and this type of show completely trivialises this point. I don't care who is a nice bloke or a good host for me politicians are there to deliver considered and well thought out policy. <br /><br />Clearly evidence of the group think that goes on between the politician and media class.
