reworked : ".... their root cause frustration - amphetamine dependence and lack of real sex" ?

You are venturing into the murky waters of precision truths, without logical fallacies, non factual rhetoric, press and media pap, etc as supporting substantiation. How do you expect to win an argument using self evident actuality as your platform?
 
Dear Emma, holding the company line, to the last..but she'll be just fine at Their ABC, she's the right demographic you see..
Lateline, a Climate Change Casualty
By Roger Franklin, Quadrant Online:
http://quadrant.org.au/opinion/doomed-planet/2017/10/lateline-climate-change-casualty/
Taking a break from tweeting energetically in support of gay marriage, Lateline compere Emma Alberici has provided a pithy explanation for her show’s cancellation... 'it has passed its use-by date and can no longer pull a worthwhile audience'...
Actually, viewer habits haven’t changed at all. Boring, predictable, laughably biased fare has
never been a marquee attraction and it doesn’t get any more predictable, laughable or biased than Lateline...

I see Mr SSM himself, Ben Elton, has arrived at the ABC under the guise of promoting his Three Summers picture. Just in time to secure the vote and subsequent celebrations, parades and the street theatre bas loves so much.:troll:
 
Did I see the ABC News Breakfast finance reporter flogging gay marriage on News Breakfast ?

What next, is the weatherman going to have a go ? The water boy ?

Bluddy hell, I thought the ABC "did not take a position on gay marriage".

I can visualise those people on breakfast a few years on and their offspring coming to them, after a lifetime of anti Anglo domestic brainwashing, declaring their natural born desire to take a goat, not just any goat mind you, as their partner. A fly on the wall would get some great pics of facial contortions and elevated language on that day I bet.:D
 
The ABC have been running a prepared piece since last night about the totalitarian status of the Chinese President and the "sycophantic media and press" as if that is somehow a foreign concept.

Perhaps someone should tell them about e.g. The Courier Mail and the LNP relationship or more introspectively the ABC and it's Invisible social manipulating master

Or the Murdoch media in general,of which the Liberal Party seems to be a wholly owned subsidiary.

Or the Fairfax media, which the labor Party seem to be a wholly owned subsidiary.

I suppose with the two major media outlets, supporting different Parties, it brings about some sort of balance.

Fairfax seems to be a lot more balanced than News corp or the Guardian which just seem to be the direct opposites.

That depends on how far to the left you are standing. Personally I find fairfax full of whinging sjws.

They actually give space for Liberal and former Liberal politicians to write editorials. They might be left leaning but they're a lot closer to center than any Murdoch press.

Yeppers. And the irony is Murdoch avoids tax to the tune of double the running costs of the ABC.

Maybe the Govt should kill two birds with one stone on this. Send a court order to Murdoch to compulsorily acquire the ABC for the exact amount of tax he has avoided over the years...

The ABC will become just another right wing soap opera with close to zero value and zero relevance and Murdoch can flog it off... if he can. ( he can also sell the ABC if he wishes LOL )

I actually agree with most things he says about population.

We used to need people to work in the mines, fields and factories, but these employment sources are disappearing as technology takes over.

We simply need less people bought in by immigration, the jobs aren't there anymore as evidenced by stagnating wages, but the migrant mafia has turned immigration into a social issue when it has always been an economic one.

Looks like the people are on your side with this one Rumpole :)

Aussies back immigration cut: poll > http://www.news.com.au/national/bre...l/news-story/13a2d3673ee1dc1cd6449a18327d7fd5

Will be watching how this experiment unfolds in NZ who have just elected a Govt with that very policy... and, just to pay lip service to the topic I might quickly add the ABC will be relied upon to give completely unbiased coverage of these events. LOL

Yeah very few.
News stories have been negative libs and labor for a while now (minus editorials from the usual righties).

Actually it's something that the Murdoch press do to when it comes to Labor and other left wing politicians. And I think you will find that The Australian in particular provides a much broader spectrum of opinion that does Fairfax and certainly a lot more than the ABC. Even diehard commies like Philip Adams have a prime spot on the Weekend Magazine to give his views.

We will just have to disagree on that. But I fail to see how anyone who reads Murdoch press or the Guardian could ever view the ABC as impartial due to how biased both tabloids are. I've even seen lefties lately complaining of right wing bias with the ABC. Unlike any other news source they actually have a charter to adhere to that demands it remain non-partisan. To suggest that Newscorp gives a broader spectrum of opinions than the ABC is quite a stretch of the imagination.
