No problem with me toughening up princess, grew up in mining towns since 1968, just trying to cut noco a bit of slack.

Yep just because I'm soft and cuddly, doesn't mean I haven't lost my front teeth, a fractured skull and had 60 stitches in my face.

But I still don't like people being picked on.
 
I agree, noco.

What classy, professional folks that work at “our” ABC. So hate-filled are they, that any gutter crap will be given free run – as long as Abbott is crucified

Rita Panahi was spot on when she wrote:

ABC Q&A ‘accidents’ only vilify one side of politics

http://www.theaustralian.com.au/new...side-of-politics/story-e6frg6n6-1227498392096

Here we go again. The genius crew at the helm of the ABC’s flagship program, Q&A, have yet again covered themselves in ignominy. The decision to broadcast a tweet from an account with a highly offensive handle was either a malicious act of bastardry designed to embarrass Prime Minister Tony Abbott or simply due to gross ineptitude.
You can never be sure with the ABC but it’s remarkable that the lapses, factual errors and unfortunate “accidents” that occur with regular monotony on the behemoth’s many platforms tend to vilify only one side of politics.
Less than three weeks since the Prime Minister lifted a ban on government front benchers appearing on the program, the ideologues at the helm of Q&A have shown they’ve learnt nothing from the Zaky Mallah saga. Hapless CEO Mark Scott was once more left to apologise for the conduct of an organisation that has become a law unto itself.

The simple truth is the ABC is absolutely crawling with Abbott-haters, and they will seek to get away with any vile attack they can, all the while living the good life off our tax dollars. And that the ABC is crawling with lefties, Labor supporters, and anti-Abbott is not mere speculation.

“Why does the Left media protect the left?”
Because the political commentators of the Left media are either intermingled or married to the left politicians.
It’s a family thing and they protect their own.
Greg Combet (Labor) partnered to Juanita Phillips (ABC).
Gai Brodtmann (Labor) married to Chris Uhlmann (ABC).
David Feeney (Labor) married to Liberty Sanger (guest commentator on ABC).
Barry Cassidy (ABC) former speech writer for Bob Hawke (Labor) from 1986-1991 married to Heather Ewart (ABC).
Maxine McKew (ABC) married to Bob Hogg (former ALP national secretary).
Virginia Trioli (ABC) married to Russell Skelton (The Age).
Mark Kenny (Fairfax) married to Virginia Haussegger (ABC).
And so the list goes on.

Labor, Fairfax and the ABC are joined at the hip.
Much like the relationship between Labor and the unions.
Why do they protect Burke where they savage Bishop?
They’re just looking after the family………….(wearing “I’ll ride with Burke” T-shirts.)

Of course. They already stack their audiences with their buddies, they take video questions and comments from their buddies, and they stack the panels of their shows with their buddies. What bias?

There is no reason in the world why taxpayers must subsidise this gross and appalling bias. De-fund now.
 

That is your opinion...do you have proof?

Put or shut up.

I suppose that sort of denigration of the ABC may appeal to the rusted on Right Wing tin foil hat wearing conspiracy nuts, but the majority of the population want a broadcaster that looks into areas that the Liberal party's propaganda wing (ie the Murdoch tabloids) won't go, and they find the ABC a valuable source of information and alternative views.

The Abbott government is the government, they deserve to have their actions properly investigated, and the ABC gave as much heat to the Rudd-Gillard-Rudd governments when they were in power.
 

Do the pejoratives indicate a lack of substance there Horace?

And BTW the Murdoch press have been upping Abbott for the rent too.

The fact remains that the ABC is using tactics against Abbott et al based mostly on psychology rather than substance.

We shouldn't give a rat's whether Abbot winked, or Hockey smoked a cigar, we should focus on how they're running the country and the alternatives offered should there be an election.... dispassionately.

That's not what we're getting from the ABC, we're getting subtle campaigning for the Labor/Green Axis.
 

Thanks for your support SP.

This is how the Fabians operate...If you don't agree with them, they will ridicule and discredit a person where ever they can.....This is their modus operandi.

It is also well known, and recently revealed, that there are over 75% LUG staff working for the ABC and Fairfax.

The ideology of the Fabians is to control the media in order to brainwash the naive with their socialistic propaganda.......Criticize a conservative government and discredit its leaders at every possible opportunity.... They pick up anything that may be adverse on the Abbott government and they will exaggerate to make it look worse and if they don't have something to use they will make it up via the back door leftist media.

What a grotty lot.

Well that probably indicates that even their supporters think the Abbott government are hopeless.

So what people may consider to be "attacks" on the Abbott government is simply genuine reporting of their failures and incompetence.

The ABC didn't do the Labor party any favours with their stupid "At home with Julia" series or "The Killing Season", so some people have to suck up reporting of the current government in the same vein.

I cut my teeth in South West Queensland on sheep station in the 40's and 50's.

We used to knit with barb wire and grow prickly pear on our chests.

Go into the local pub after a hard days work and drink beer from a 5 gallon keg up on the counter with a wet bag over the top to keep it cool....No electricity.....and the best part of those days there was no TV and one did not have to watch the BULL $HIT that we have to tolerate today

We used to work 7 days a week and no bloody penalty rates......Most on this site would not know what a fair days work is....all they think about is how can I cheat the boss to work less for more pay.

Most of the blokes and gals on this site have never had so good.
 

And of course you think your beloved LUG party will do better......They don't have a very good history of fiscal management ...something you cannot deny.
 

You've deflected my point. But you know that don't you? The issue is not whether the ABC is reporting on issues, good or bad, it is intentionally white anting via puerile sleights they know will influence the unthinking plebeians.

But you know that as well.
 

Here we go again.....more character assassination......Typical of the Fabians....Their motto is if you can't win fair, play foul.
 

You guys are pussies ... I was knuckling seven yearolds when I was six, I could walk and fart at the same time when I was eight, by the time I was eleven I was scarifying paddocks for cropping on a Fordson tractor with no power brakes nor power steering, driving a Bedford truck top dressing, mulesing and crutching sheep at twelve, fencing, giving lip to shearers while throwing, skirting then pressing bales, shooting roos and rabbits, drinking a whole 600ml coke in one breath, but then came the real test of stamina ..... women!!!!

I think it's more to do with Murdoch having a secret squirrel meeting with Hockey. Abbott and Coy have responded by seeking to remove Hockey surreptitiously.
 

Responding to Dutton's earlier radio interview, Josh Fry. was given the opportunity to explain what bias was being provided by the ABC this morning on ABC TV and he came up blank. One would think if you are going to have a pommy like whinge you would have the gun locked and loaded.

I thought we were supposed to have grown people running the country, not whiney kids like we find on so many message boards.

So far no Fabians have tried it on with me Noco. You can stand in my shadow if you like and I'll take the hits, which should just bounce off my chest like Superman and bullets.

Any biased person may come to that conclusion. If a media outlet does not blatantly say "The Liberal Party is doing a good job and should be re-elected", then they are obviously biased against the Liberal Party.

Unlike Hockey who has managed to double the deficit in two years.

I take it LUG is some kind of acronym for Labor and Greens members? That's some kind of branch stacking right there. I didn't know there were that many paid up members in all the parties combined in Australia !!!

I do recall there was a fairly even voting intention among union members, Liberal/Labor in a survey a few years back. I guess some people can distinguish between job security/satisfaction/power in numbers and business of govt?
