I'm confused, what's wrong with the app?

There are hundreds of useless apps with limited audience. Could she be right?

We need a Donald Trump here to rid the ABC of the 41% Greens and 32% Labor stooges and only then can we get some balance in honest reporting.

According to the Fabian ideology .......Control the media and you will control the people....

People are finally waking up to the way the media, and in particular the ABC, who try to control with persuasion the way people think and live......Control the way people should vote politically.

It is now all starting to back fire here, the UK and in the USA and that is why the left are in shock and horror that their ruthless tactics are not working....The left like to have their own way and they will do it by fair or foul means.

Lessons in way media lost plot

The anti-Trump and anti-Brexit camps are in disbelief that voters could be so dumb, so uneducated.

They’ve been branded racists, rednecks, sexists, misogynists, bigots and idiots, and their opponents have even called for them to die.

In both votes, the losing voters chucked the world’s biggest tantrums, rampaging through the streets, gnashing their teeth, burning flags, and wailing that anyone who voted against them actually voted for the end of the world.

It’s been some of the most childish and deeply concerning displays you could witness. The theme is always the same: anyone who voted for Brexit and Trump just didn’t bother to educate themselves.

This is grossly insulting and factually incorrect.

Trump’s policies barely got a look-in in mainstream media except to be held up as ludicrous, racist, backward and laughable.

Then idealistic – and possibly unethical, if not deceptive and biased – journos devoted hundreds of hours to attacking Trump personally while giving Hillary free kick after free kick.

Comments Trump made 11 years ago received top billing on international news bulletins, while Hillary received strident defence from most media outlets that either openly scoffed or stayed meekly silent in the face of damning evidence of corruption and suspect financial dealings.

At least one analysis out of America has laid the “blame” for Trump’s victory squarely at the feet of the media, and not only is it spot on, it sounds a stark warning to the Australian press as well.

A US analyst launched a withering tirade against journalists chasing Trump “click bait” instead of talking to the ordinary people he was reaching out to. It was abject and breathtaking arrogance from the US media, failing to pay heed to the rumblings of middle America and ignoring Trump’s wins in the Republican primaries.

They said he couldn’t possibly win the nomination, and then after he won that, they still couldn’t recognise that they actually had no idea what their readers and listeners were thinking.

Despite what many believe, media outlets do reserve the right to favour certain candidates, but some American journalists clearly breached their code of ethics by sending controversial stories to Hillary’s staff for approval before publishing.

All this was revealed not by diligent and inquisitive journalism but by WikiLeaks. And even then it received scant coverage.

Trump ran on a platform completely contrary to everything the Left (Labor and the Greens) holds dear and insists we all must believe or face eternal damnation. He will cancel billions of dollars of funding to climate change bodies, drastically tighten US border controls, slash tax rates and release the shackles on the fossil fuel industry.

Trump’s comments and conduct make it hard to believe people voted for the person, so they either liked Hillary less (which isn’t hard to believe), or they simply voted for his policies.

At worst, it’s a mixture of the two and it’s compelling evidence that after decades of failed left-wing predictions of human-caused Armageddon, people have had enough of being told how to live and how to think.

While Hillary received about 200,000 more votes, Trump earned more votes in states that mattered most. In a way, it’s like our preferential voting system, which has often denied victory to the candidate who earned the most primary votes.

Here in Australia, Pauline Hanson, the Australian Liberty Alliance and now Senator Cory Bernardi with his Australian Conservatives movement are making similar noises as Trump, and unsurprisingly, the media here is treating them and their growing base with the same disdain.

Journalists would do well to get out of their ivory castles, pay less attention to left-wing propaganda and actually speak to “normal” middle and working-class Australians.

Those Americans whom the media ignored had only one outlet to vent their frustration, the ballot box, and the same is happening in Australia and around the world.

Good question. Presumably these apps are international. Is Apple worried about Red Indians (not not the Commos noco), following on and telling their stories of genocide and suppression to the American public ?

I think it's considered as an inferior presentation standard to their product. Kind of like a Rolls Royce with Holden rims.

"Digital Rangers" is going to be accepted by Apple afterall, so long as the technical aspects are addressed.

Yes, he/she had the operation a while ago.

Did you ever watch Get Smart ? Brings to mind the Gertrude Gerald character in a show about the circus. :D

Actually he/she seems pretty intelligent, and (s)he's a friend of Tony Abbott so (s)he can't be all bad.
:eek:

Hey guys, this is the same person that wanted to get rid of the word 'guys'.
 
After watching the femmes in action last night, I'm starting to wonder if 18c will be the new weapon of choice to bludgeon males in the future.

These women used the court's ultimate decision in throwing out the action against the students as working proof, then declaring the regardless of the decision patent racism was in play WTF.

One big mouthed panelist managed to segue the Bill Leak cartoon from being (in her opinion) racist to being, in truth, an attack on Aboriginal woman. The world is going mad again.

Yes, I found myself agreeing with Abetz for once, that the process is the punishment. The operation of 18C seems to be inconsistent with the process of natural justice, ie if there is little to no prospect of conviction then the case should not go to court in the first place. 18C just seems a vehicle for harrassment by people with an axe to grind.

IMHO people should not be dragged through the courts for offhand or otherwise inoffensive comments as Abetz alluded to, but he was shouted down by a couple of femmonazis with more emotion than reasoning which seems fairly typical of the whole 18C debate.

"When we start demonising Aboriginal men, what we're also doing is demonising Aboriginal women."

Halfwit taking centre stage on the National Broadcaster
 
To be fair, Pearson paid out on The Quadrant too, for it's "..hard right prejudice". He's not particularly happy within anyone, bar Paul Keating.

"..a spittoon's worth of perverse people willing the wretched to fail." Ouch, they won't like that in Ultimo.

Noel Pearson lambasts 'racist' ABC at Paul Keating biography launch in Sydney
By Georgina Mitchell, SMH, 21 November 2016: http://www.smh.com.au/entertainment...ography-launch-in-sydney-20161121-gsucm5.html

..."[N]ot the least the country's miserable, racist national broadcaster: a spittoon's worth of perverse people willing the wretched to fail," Mr Pearson said midway through his speech.

"They need blacks to remain aliened from mothers' bosoms, incarcerated in legions, leading short lives of grief and tribulation – because if it were not so, against whom could they direct their soft bigotry of low expectations?..."

Of course it's the white fella that has to take his racism on the chin, even though only <5% of the world's population is white on the Luschan scale.
 
Great suggestion from JoNova, decentralize the ABC. Although Bourke is probably not the ideal choice.

Trump wakes Ad agencies: not everyone wants to be a politically correct coastal city yuppie - November 22nd, 2016 : http://joannenova.com.au/

..A lot of the ABC problems would be solved if we booted them out of Ultimo in Sydney and asked them to live in Bourke, Mildura, or Wagga… you name it. Indeed, how about Orange (where the Nationals just lost a seat they’ve held forever to the Shooters, Fishers and Farmers party, a result that zero ABC commentators predicted...

The ABC is more decentralised than the others. At least they have reporters in the bush.

It would be good to set up programs in the country though.
Anyone seen Rosehaven filmed in Tassie? Funniest and best program on TV this year in my view. No smell of politics which adds to the pleasure.

How low can this blatantly biased ABC get away with it.

Fran Kelly's vilification and abuse of Donald Trump is pretty obvious....She has definitely gone over board..

http://www.heraldsun.com.au/blogs/a...e/news-story/ce53f401e5f198407b9841e71ad3d7ce


The ABC is crazed with hatred for Donald Trump. In one astonishing item today for activist Fran Kelly's Radio National Breakfast show we're asked to believe that a meeting of fewer than 200 white racists represents Trump and Trump has not repudiated them enough.

One man at that meeting is beaten up and left bloodied by Leftist activists but he - and not the Leftist thugs - is still portrayed as the aggressor.

Far-Left MSNBC host Rachel Maddow is quoted attacking Trump as if she is the voice of the mainstream.

Trump is also attacked for postponing a meeting with the New York Times, his vehement critic, and is deplored for thinking Nigel Farage could be a good ambassador.

There is horror at Trump's suggestion that his son-in-law could help him bring Israel and the Palestinians together. No background is given to this suggestion: as in that Jared Kushner is a successful businessman, a key advisor in Trump's successful campaign and an Orthodox Jew.

Yesterday's roundup for Radio National Breakfast was also unremittingly hostile.

How much longer will it be before the ABC starts to report on Trump dispassionately - as if he were another President of the United States and not a Hitler in chrysalis form?

Right now this is not reporting but shrieking. And the ABC audience will be as misled about the Trump administration as it was about the Trump campaign.

UPDATE

Jon Faine is again venting on ABC Melbourne.






But Tony Thomas is particularly struck by Emma Alberici's effort:


ABC TV’s Emma Alberici wants us to believe that lice are twice as popular as US president-elect Donald Trump. In her 34-minute Foreign Correspondent special on Sunday night (20/11) she splices in (at 29mins) polling data showing 54% of respondent voters favored lice over Trump, while only 28% favored Trump over lice.

This doubtless had Alberici’s luvvie pals squirming with pleasure. It did nothing for the credibility of herself, Foreign Correspondent or the ABC. Nor did she see any inconsistency worth explaining between the lice “finding” and Trump getting 61 million votes in the election.

She provided no context for the lice poll, merely lifting the factoid in from a youtube clip. In fact, the poll involved 1222 respondents nationally last May, and generated a raft of other crazy memes like Trump being slightly more popular than haemorrhoids and cockroaches.

Needless to say, the pollsters never sought views on whether Hillary Clinton was more popular than lice, cockroaches or haemorrhoids, or whether Trump supporters hung up the phone rather than take any more anti-Trump insults. But it was good enough for Alberici as part of Foreign Correspondent’s juvenile stitch-up of Trump and his supporters.

There is more. Much more.
 
The bias is not unremitting and undisguised. "Without bias or agenda" an absolutely laughable mendacity.

They haven't learned there lesson, have they. Tim Minchen was on there yesterday spewing leftist outrage and indulging in peurile name-calling, to the delight of the nameless fool interviewing.

Yet, this is what lost them the election in the US. The more intolerance, intellectual vomit and name-calling they puke, the further they push the center to the right.

Certainly the left has pushed me out of my resolutely centrist philosophy, closer to conservatism. They are teaching us (and not to mention the genuine right) to absolutely despise the left. Yep, out in the trenches folks, we're (ordinary middle of the road people) gettin angry and it's gonna get ugly, mark my words.

Arrest the Governor General ? :D:D Nice take on democracy there Paul. :rolleyes:

As for the 'hard luck stories' I completely agree. Much as I sympathise with Liz Jackson getting Parkinson's I really have no desire to watch 40 minutes of her struggling through her life, a lot of other people have the same or similar troubles, so why is she special ?

The ABC needs to be more mainstream imo, the economy, the standard of services, are consumers getting ripped off by government or business etc.

There is not enough education on the ABC, maybe because there are not sufficient high quality journalists left in the organisation.
