ABC is Political

Jump to new
Cheers, I do remember that one now.

I think the biggest problem for the ABC isn't the content, it's the duplicitous makeup of its radio network. A few years ago there was a radio survey for country Victoria. To put it briefly, they have 5 ABC stations for every 2 commercial services. Parliament newsradio scores precisely zip in most of those areas and the ABC RN network has little more. No one listens to it. So these networks should be consolidated. The vacated channels could then be leased out.

The radio spectrum is an inexhaustible resource that generates millions per year of revenue.
In a country as vast as Australia it's a no brainer for the Govt that maximising this resource should have higher priority over complaining about on air content.

In my view
 

Country radio, ABC or commercial is abysmal. Bogans at one end , flower shows at the other. Maybe the reason no one listens is the content.

I live in a regional area and its ABC Classic FM for me, the most sensible station I can find.
 
No sooner than Donald Trump bans chemical benders from the US armed forces, than the ABC pushes back by wheeling out resident chemical drag queen "Catherine" McGregor to give his thoughts about the issue under the guise of cricket talk.
 
Decentralize the ABC HQ to Bathurst. Then we'll see how representative their views are. They'll have to take their flakey views to the supermarket, the library and the pub.

Ultimo ABC, a sheltered workshop for the Left. Tony Jones is on best advice, paid $450k. To be balanced. Such a good investment for the taxpayer!

Who is this well-heeled chardonnay socialist to tell me it's immoral to support cheap coal-fired electricity?

Does the elitist Jones have solar panels? I'm betting he does! Too bad for the ordinary mums and dads who couldn't afford solar panels. They are by Jones-definition, immoral!
 
Today must a female day on ABC breakfast. Virginia must have uttered "female" a few hundred times already.... when her own son loses out to gender when trying for a job I wonder how she will react when those hens home to roost. Must have been to a party where a real man upset her applecart.

the catchphrase is "2017". Apparently 2017 is a magic pudding day when women become entitled to hold positions they aren't the best candidate for, when homosexual lifestylers become entitled to eliminate the last bastion of hetrosexual evil, etc. Yep 2017 is where it's at.

Virginia and her feminised male co-host even went so far as to wax lyrical that anyone with a different opinion to the ABC's social agenda is a troll by definition.
 

They had another whinging group of feminazis demanding 50% of jobs in the film industry go to women. Quota regardless of merit. That's one reason why the country continues to go down hill.

Big time problem. Shame the same equity formula isn't used to drive workplace reform, with straight men given the 53% bias in say teaching, university courses, ABC employment, etc.

Virginia just ambused Betty Cuthbert's career as being a female agenda victory. She just doesn't understand the insult to Betty and everyone else who supported her.
 
ABC radio and tv presenters are fuming at not getting their way, in the wake of yesterday's Cabinet meeting featuring same sex marriage.

Emma Alberici's so-called interview of Mathias Cormann was little more than a grand inquisition. A pre-prepared tirade, Cormann never allowed any continuity of response. Emma was literally seething. Leigh Sales on 7:30 was no more balanced.

That's the balanced reporting we get for their $400,000pa taxpayer-funded salaries.

The Turnbull government says, we want to give everyday Australians a say. The ABC, the national broadcaster, is campaigning against this. Credibility in tatters.
 

It's a problem when the only good news source is the ABC, but run like a matrilineal family tree.
 
ABC Breakfast already ramping up its bias in favour of SSM on facebook and twitter.

Supposed to be neutral, not the social conscience of the few

Yes, and Leigh Sales was going for it a few nights back.

The ABC has become a social campaigner not a reporter of events.

I'd have to say though that Virginia did a pretty good job this morning with Lyle Shelton and an Irish SSM campaigner, giving them both a good chance to explain themselves.
 


I'm reporting her to the ABC everytime she shows her bias. If everyone did that we might get some even handed commentary more often.

Staff were pulled into gear by the ABC bosses this week apparently, "..ABC does not have a position on this issue.." or similar. Yeah right.
 
Michael Rowlands was quick to post this on twitter and facebook with the tag:

"And it looked liked such a lovely postcard.. Guess the campaign is well and truly underway. #ssm #auspol @BreakfastNews "

Obviously from a left handed female, I think this a staged postcard to solicit a sympathy vote for the gays while protesting those dammed straight people. ABC sinicure all over it:

 
Auntie had abandoned any illusion of impartial journalism, the bias is now more than palpable, it just walks straight up and smacks you in the face.
 
ABC Breakfast had the gay lobby on again today, Magda Zubanski and some other person.

No sign of impartiality there with the opposite side not invited.
