The ABC is a withering corpse on the intellectual politic of Australian thought.

They have not had an original thought since the Hungarians biffed the Russians at the 1956 Olympics.

Fair dinkum, Knobby,

Name an issue that was not a leftard, anti-Australian interest that was pursued by the ABC in the last 12 months.

The organisation I know that pursues agendas is well known to yourself.
 
I saw a show called Laid the other night.. the last half anyway, couldn't make any sense of it.

Looked up the website and it seemed to be trying to be way too clever than it really is. I objected to them denigrating one of their characters as being on the autism spectrum.
 
Surely you're not trying to say that "Laid" or any other comedy show represents the ABC's philosophy? Or is there some hidden left-wing message in "Laid" that I missed? The only alternative to the ABC is SBS, which I can no longer get since it's gone digital. The other programmes that appear every now and then between adverts are either prehistoric or silly. Of course, there is radio with it's ultra-right-wing liars like Alan Jones or for pay TV, there is the totally fictional Fox News.

There has been no left-wing medium in Australia in the forty odd years I've lived here. You need to go to Europe to discover what "left-wing" means.

The political claims and conversations here have to be taken with a grain of salt and understanding.

Many here do not move far from the shock jocks or selected front bars or clubs that allow walking frames for the fear they maybe become brain washed.

So please be kind to the conservative views expressed as they are really sensitive and caring lot and feelings can be easily hurt.;)
 
I'm not making any claims that ABC has anythign to say with Laid.. only the site irked me. I did have it on in the background and it mildly amused and befuddled me.

Actually the quirky low budget comedies may be one thing the ABC does that you don't see anywhere else. Very Small Business was underrated, Lowdown had some good episodes.. I even liked the odd bit of Woodley
 
The Insiders show has finally dropped any pretence that it is politically unbiased. The three panellists this morning were all from the left wing Fairfax press, The Age, the SMH and the Financial Review; and the guest was Bill Shorten. Spurred on by Barrie Cassidy they had a good old left wing anti-coalition hate session.

If they keep that up, it will be interesting to see how their ratings go. With labor on such minor primary polling, I doubt the majority of Aussies would bother watching .

At least Murdoch seems to swing with the polls (I remember the Murdoch media being quite pro-labor in 2007). He is smart enough to realise people choose what they want to read and hear.

Disgraceful behaviour from the Left Wing ABC.

They have no couth nor honour, as we enter a week which may end up in a constitutional crisis.

Better it be Can Do'ed rather than having another Inquiry into the left infiltration of public broadcasting.

Where has Bolt gone ? Has he Bolted from Channel 10 ?
 
So, how did we feel about Micallef? The last time he was on ABC, I thought he was very clever and funny; this first show was very much so-so, but I'll give him the benefit of the doubt for the moment.

Shame Miss Fisher's finished. I really enjoyed that show despite a couple of dead scenes. It is a bit odd having two forensic programmes on at the weekend. I always did like "Silent Witness" if only to ogle Emiia Fox, and I liked "Waking the Dead", so "Body Farm" should be okay too. In fact, the two are very different in emphasis - as before, "Silent Witness" is more political (can't think of a better word), and so far, I like "Body Farm".
 
Micallef wasn't bad, the skit with the Gillard and Rudd staffers was genuinely funny.

Q&A set a new low. Disgusting pack of left wing hypocrites, with the possible exception of Humphries and Hewson. The most vicious, sustained and personal attack on Gina Rinehart. On the other hand - we needed to be more compassionate to Craig Thomson! Two gay panellists - who've suffered stereotypes all their lives - turn straight around and apply the same to Gina Rinehart!

Which of these two have contributed most to the nation, Rinehart or Thomson?

No Miriam, on that performance I do not welcome you as a prospective citizen.

Edit: I went over to Bolt and discovered that he felt the same revulsion:

How does the ABC broadcast such savagery?
By Andrew Bolt –, Tuesday,

(9:42am) Filed under:
I’m not going to repeat some of the cruel personal slurs - notably over someone’s looks - that the panel of Q&A chortled over last night, with not a word of protest from any.
It was a disgrace and a perfect example of two things: the savagery of the mob, and the truth of the proposition that the self-regarding moralist feels entitled by his superior goodness to be vicious.
Everyone on that panel, host Tony Jones included, should be ashamed of themselves.

I noticed on the Ofsiders this morning two of the panel were fat, bordering on obesity. Their views can be discounted, whereas George Megalogenis who works on The Australian as their token leftie cuts a fine figure. His steely glare and supercilious smile only added to the fatties' insignificance
