ABC is Political

Jump to new
All over it the ABC, and to be fair, all the other outlets. Nothing the journos love more than a good leadership spill. But right or wrong, people are interested in this stuff.

The ABC's choice of Coalition leader, probably gone now. They'll be merciless on whoever comes next.
 
That's great we have Sky News on free to air now. Won't have to endure continual one-sided commentary from the latte lovies.

"Without agenda or bias.." the ABC News says, which shows a risible lack of self-awareness :D:D. Insiders on ABC Sunday mornings is a case in point.

For those in the 'Peoples Republic of Victoria', you might just check with the Public Transport Minister Jacinta Allan, that you're not committing a thought crime by watching Sky News
 
Is there a neutral alternative to the ABC? I'm tired of the right wing slant...it's worn me out. I'm happy with my Twitter feed but I like Australian news too...any free alternative?

The ABC is Right wing biased now ?

Who'da thunk it ? :D

I'm actually getting a bit sick of the social whingers on the ABC. The Muslim's, LGB's, indigenous and women all screaming about discrimination and dirty deeds done by straight white males, it's getting very tiring.

They need to get back into the mainstream and the basics of modern life.
 
Cheers CanOz. ABC right wing? Quick, somebody contact David Marr, Emma Alberici, Ellen Fanning, Laura Tingle, Tony Jones, Virginia Trioli, Fran Kelly ... as these presenters would never stand for any biased coverage
 
Always get left wing and right wing mixed up...about like my driving
 
I think with Morrison in, the ABC will pull its head in.
I would guess, he will go head to head with their left wing head bangers, and see how they fare.
Just my guess, but I reckon he will tear them another nether region, in a head on debate.
Time will tell.

No, he's full of bull and bluster no matter how cuddly he pretends to be.

He'll suck up to the media but I think the electorate will work him out.

You as I do, hope. :xyxthumbs We will see what transpires.

One thing for sure, Turnbull gone is a big plus for the Libs.

My take on the ABC is that it is a nation state that has gravitated into a social apartheid system where you only get a job if you think or voice like a 1960's protest university student.

The humour is nearly always university sarcasm, the social justice is always presented by a women reporter and skewed to women being under the heel of men, or based on justice for non white skin colour, non christian religions, aberrant sexual lifestyle choices, obese women, etc.

If it wasn't for old skool programmes like 4 Corners and the woeful juvenility of the commercial stations, it would be exposed for the organisation of arrested development individuals it is. They need to get rid of their cheesecloth, tie dyes, little red books and grow up IMO.

During my brief stints listening to the ABC I've found this as well.
I find ABC News and Current Affairs to be balanced but the segments on minority issues is too overwhelming. I understand it's to give everyone a voice but it turns a lot of people off (and over to commercial channels).
 
I think the ABC was originally meant to be a way for the government to contact and inform the population of Australia of new laws and provide information generally to everyone, no matter where they lived.

I think to do that we need one TV channel, one radio station and in today's world, one website.

If we close down all the rest of the ABC we could save a fortune;)

I agree with you about the radio. I mentioned some time back they did a radio survey in rural Victoria and there were 2 stations with virtually no listeners. So you can save some beer money by consolidating those but more importantly, you can save some real coin from then leasing out the unused RF spectrum to a commercial operator nationwide.
