Agreed.
But it's not "anti-anyone" comments that has been the show's demise. It's the lack of balance. There is a difference between freedom of speech and a political agenda.
The ABC is funded by left wing, right wing and middle of the road taxpayers. There is absolutely no place for anyone on the ABC to have a specific political agenda.
No taxpayer - and therefore funder of the ABC - should feel alienated when watching the programming. I would be just as critical of the Glasshouse if it had an anti-ALP skew.
The Chaser is a model of balanced political satire.
