Somebody get Henderson a tissue.

Gerard Henderson's big whinge about the ABC documentary "The Howard Years" is predictably pathetic.

In typical modern day conservative fashion, Henderson claims an entire documentary is biased without actually producing any evidence.

He could have saved his judgement until he saw the whole series.

Henderson has seen two episodes of this four part documentary and all he has come up with, is one line "proving" bias.

What's more, the publicity flyer claims that Australia was "an early conscript for the war on terror". In fact, the Australian Army actually lobbied to be part of the United States-led force that invaded Afghanistan to attack the Taliban in 2001.

A semantic argument with a highly dubious claim that "the Australian Army actually lobbied to be part of the United States-led force" is no proof of bias. Finding factual errors would have improved Henderson's argument, but it's pretty hard to argue that Howard did take on Hanson as soon as she started mouthing off about Asians.

In another stunning display of stupidity, Henderson ignores the fact that everyone interviewed in the first show was a conservative insider. There is not one dissenting voice so far. If you want true balance, get someone on saying that Howard was a ruthless racist war-mongerring anti-environment mother fucker. Unlike Henderson, that non-existent person could find plenty of evidence to back up their view.

Henderson has sweet FA to support his claims of bias so he then attacks the documentary's narrator Fran Kelly, because, "her past interviews with Howard had been "confrontational and tense"". I know this would be hard for Henderson to understand, but that is exactly what the fourth estate should be doing, especially when faced with extremist policies.

One wonders why the SMH wastes valuable column space on this ridiculously biased Howard arse-kisser who couldn't back up an opinion with facts even if his life depended on it.
