As a venerable publication just shy of its190th birthday The Spectator has to eschew hyperbole (don’t use the Julia Gillard pronunciation, please). However, I have in front of me what is potentially the single most assinine assertion from their ABC ever.

It’s up with every banality ever utter on Q&A, every ill-expressed idiocy that tumbled out on The Drum, the sheer batty blind bias of every Wendy Harmer program ever since she became unemployable on commercial radio.
