ABC is Political

Good piece by Uhlmann. Do the Americans care what we think ? Having their President being dominated by Putin does not appear to make them 'great'.

Well I must admit I did my bit using my Twitter avatar to enrage the locals who thought Australia was an upstart nation, with no right to critique Trump. It was a joyous experience and one I will remember warmly

When you get a response from the Donald, you will know you have made your mark.
 
Why the ABC is at odds with us.

The ABC has not admitted to a lack of political diversity in its staff profile or systemic political bias in its programming. Yet the largest survey in 20 years of political attitudes among journalists found that 73.6 per cent of ABC journalists support Labor or the Greens. The Sunshine Coast University research also found that 41.2 per cent of ABC staff surveyed voted for the Greens. As Chris Kenny wrote in The Weekend Australian, the “federal vote ceiling” for the Greens is just over 10 per cent. On those figures, the ABC’s staff profile is highly unrepresentative of the Australian general public.

There is absolutely no reason in this day and age, we (the taxpayer) need a greens left publicly funded media company.

What does the CBA, Medibank Private, Qantas, a host of former state banks, have in common.

Yes, the Government (taxpayer) got out of these respective businesses because they no longer needed to be in the insurance, airlines or banking industry.

The ABC is a relic of a previous age; a bloated public servant organisation, which without public funds would never survive in its current form.

I would rather have a quality publicly funded ABC than Murdoch's trash.

I do think it needs to stop being a lead vehicle for a perversion of equal opportunity for fringe dwellers.

How much longer do we have to watch people paraded into the spotlight like sideshow attractions so we can witness and wonder at them doing things normal people do, despite their disabilities:- being female, being coloured, being Muslim, being homosexual, etc. On one hand they have the impudence to tout we are all the same, then make sure the rest of us aren't represented in favour of the fringe; we are supposed to feel shame at our indignation.

Agreed, there are all sorts of 'repressed' minorities getting a go at the ABC these days, we'll probably see someone wearing a hijab reading the news soon, but as long as they keep their journalistic standards high they will providing a better service than the opposition.
 
Only because of the public backlash.

They are taxpayer funded.

Like any over bloated public service.
 
Well that's news to me but hardly surprising. It's an evil empire of Tory philosophy that dominates the political media spectrum in multiple countries including here.

Not the sort of thing I want my taxes supporting. The ABC is better value - no matter how political it is.
