A triumph of ego over substance: Steve Fielding once again demonstrates why he's such a lightweigt politician

It would appear that Family First's one and only federal senator, Steve 'I'm an engineer so I know about stuff' Fielding, is feeling slighted by the Australian public broadcaster, if his recent Senate estimates committee questions to the ABC's managing director are any indication.

A triumph of ego over substance and a waste of time at taxpayers expense:

Could you give us a handle on biases in The 7.30 Report, just generally? Are there some sorts of guidelines about keeping an eye on it?.........

Do you have any monitoring of the range of viewpoints by political parties that have actually been on The 7.30 Report?......

There are three parties sitting in the crossbenches with equal weighting and I thought those views would be interesting to hear on The 7.30 Report. I cannot recall the last time that Family First appeared on The 7.30 Report. I am just wondering: is something going on there?.......

But the Labor Party has been on there a lot, which is fine, and so has the Liberal Party and so have the Nationals and so have the others.

But not it seems Family First's favourite bottle imitator, to his obvious chagrin.
