ABC is Political

[noco]

As a notional Labor supporter I completely agree with you. The less I see of the Liberal/National Party on my TV screens the better I like it. If the LNP bans the ABC forever I'll be mighty grateful to them.

Do I detect bigotry here?.....Correct me if I am wrong.

No, just a personal preference based on the evidence that they rarely say anything that I agree with.

I watch a bit of ABC, and do think that many of the presenters lean to the left wing, probably many production staff as well. As I am of left-wing persuasion (but shockingly right-wing to some) this doesnt bother me too much.

Today I hear newly on ABC radio, Sarrah Le Marquand, also a journalist of Daily Telegraph, a paper I used to read, but gave up, as it was so Rupert biased rabid right wing, that it wasnt a newspaper anymore.

I am not familiar with her work, but doubt she would have been at the Tele, if she had a left-wing bone in her body

So maybe the ABC is immediately looking for some token "right-wingers" they can get on-air to counter the imbalance?

Chris Ulhmann is already there.

I see Ray Martin who is to conduct an independent audit of Q&A has entered the political fray. I also note the audit has already reached a conclusion.

As well as decrying the government's Q&A boycott as "silly", Martin said he believes Q&A host Tony Jones was as tough on the previous Labor government as the Coalition.

Malcolm Turnbull should therefore be fine attending next week.

Barnaby Joyce 'soft as $hite'. So I spose we'll see about Malcolm.
T Abbott ever likey to appear? I spose that makes him as hard as? Well......considerably softer than Barnaby.

Is it just me or Turnbull looks to be the next PM?

Agree, Logique, with Q and A.

This has been going on for a long time, and I am glad that they are taking a stand.

Having a panel stacked with one side is boring to watch, it just turns out pushing their own propaganda.

Ray Martin is not the brightest star in the sky. I wouldn't trust him to go to Woolies to get me a packet of smokes.

His comments prejudge the Inquiry outcome, and disqualify him.

What a muppet.

I think we all know he could be if he hadn't lost his bravado after being tossed from the job as leader. He just shadow boxes these days and is inconsequential to Tony and his circle of trust.

Tony Windsor tweeted that the Q and A ban was about stopping Turnbull appearing.

 

[Tisme]

At the risk of this being used as a cross threader, by the gays on the forum, I think we should be glad the ABC have seen fit to allow us access to some of the archives:

http://splash.abc.net.au/home#!/media/29070/family-life-in-the-1960s

and I think one of the venues in Brisbane actually did succumb to this:

Yes it is part of the ban on discussing Gay marriage which Turnbull is a great proponent of; one reason being is that it wounds Tony to know one of his team supports his sister's agenda.

Tink, I have been harping on this subject for so long but I constantly get howled down by the Socialist Left on the ASF...I have been called all sorts of names and I have experienced more than one attempt of Character assassination which is all part of their play.

It is all a part of the Fabian Society strategy to gain the upper hand on the naive people who believe their propaganda which is central control.....They will push their barrow on Global Warming or Climate Change depending on the weather at the time, Gay Marriage, the rich are getting richer and the poor are getting poorer to the push where we Australian should share the wealth of what comes out of the mining industry....We are already sharing that wealth in taxation and royalties.....The Fabian Society's (communism) first endeavor is to control the media and they have done it very successfully with the ABC along with the Fairfax group. They will then go on to control the Banks, Mining, manufacturing and agriculture if they ever get into power again.

They keep chipping away with their propaganda to discredit a conservative government, its leader and his ministers as has been well demonstrated over the past year or two.

The ABC staff consist of some 42% who are Green sympathizers and some 38% left wing Labor....It was well orchestrated during the Rudd/Gillard/Rudd era 2007/2013 and Gillard installed the left wing Mark Scott and many left wingers during that time.

Gillard is still a member of the Fabian Society along with Jenny Macklin, Chris Bowen and Tony Burke....Gillard confessed to being a communist...The late Gough Whitlam was their Patron...Lee Rihanan of the Greens Party is a well known communist.

GETUP is another propaganda machine for the Green/Labor socialist with Bill Shorten a foundation member and a past board member...The unions recently donated $1 million to GETUP.

So we have a pattern here of all the ABC programs including Insiders, QandA, 7.30 report, Late Line, The Drum Media Watch and Virginia Tripoloi on the ABC breakfast show each week day broadcasting their socialist propaganda.

I notice that people here have not expressed appreciation of the grilling that Tony Jones gave Richard Marles on Q&A regarding Labor's turnback policy.

Of course, had TJ given such a grilling to a Liberal MP it would be bias, but in this case it was just a journalist doing his job.

That was a very rare occasion to make the ABC look good......Like one against Labor and 99 against the Liberals.

The ABC must really think we are all fools to fall for their pranks.

Could it be most of the liberal front bench just don't know enough about their portfolios to front up to anyone but Alan Jones and sound even a tad competent?

Kevin Andrews as Defence Minister. Susan Lay as minister for Health and Sports. Peter Dutton as minister for Immigration. Andrew Robb as minister of Trade. Joe Hockey as Treasurer.

I'd be leary of Dutton in charge of a CWA bake sale, and Lay might as well just reprint what the corporate sector sprouts about health issues. Robb is a mouthpiece for large US corporations.

Don't forget the infiltration of the schools Noco. I wonder if it's possible any more to get a pass in school if a kid says global warming is just a theory, or gays shouldn't get married.

Ray Martin? May as well close down the inquiry, Ray has already reached his conclusions. We're all just being silly and crazy, and Tony Jones probably didn't do anything wrong. Fierce independence from Ray.

Yes, that was all a part of Gillards education revolution starting with converting the young teachers at uni and then in turn brain washing the kids with Global warming and lots of other socialist crap.

Come up with a well researched argument and provide a logical process to base you argument on and I'd say there's a good chance you'd get marked accordingly.

Not backing up your argument with research would get marked accordingly as well.
