ABC is Political

Agree on Current Affair. But the ABC (except in the regions) is hardly a news service! More like a taxpayer-funded (1$Bill/ann!) Green Left opinion piece. It's Pravda, pure and simple.

We're paying taxes for a news service, not Pravda!

Aw heck!

I was going to use the pravda analogy to apply to Rupert and his reptiles. He is a true blue goebbeler spreading the right wing nutter gospel across all the anglo brotherhood of nations. He's been operating for 60 years and he has the found the fractures in them and split them open in wide open suppurating wounds. Think the sinking of the american community accelerated by Bush and Trump. Think Britain recently being investigated by the UN for a Tory inspired epidemic of poverty and homelessness especially in northern england. Think scummo and his gang employing the high tenets of marketing to espouse principles as shallow as a puddle of piss. So NO. pravda is mine.

Rupert is not right wing, he is a globalist and pushes the agenda to what suits that end. Sometimes left, sometimes right.

Rupert has long sold his soul to make a buck and you are correct he will sell out to who ever but he prefers the right they are far easier to get angry and to corrupt.

Even in the regions it's still a mouthpiece for the left. I used to live in a regional area and the local ABC radio station was just as left leaning as it is in the cities. Local commercial news services on the TV on the other hand were pretty neutral.
 
I love all this talk about right wing lunatics, what was the score at the elections?
A one nation bus set on fire, a liberal how to vote poll volunteer and a one nation volunteer stabbed. Self appraisal obviously isnt a left wing strong point
 
I regularly watch the ABC news at 7:00 PM

But prior to the election, I stopped watching because the political reporting was so biased.

I doubt it. There Green mates would have kicked up a stink.

I doubt if the Senate will take kindly to this, there could be trouble for the government.

I guess it will boil back to if someone is doing something illegal, or the AFP are working outside their responsibilities, or if the press is whipping up a storm in a tea cup.
What is it that the Government has to worry about? Isn't it a AFP issue?
 
Defense papers were leaked.
Govt doesn't have to really worry. If labor kicked up a stink they would become even more unpopular.
This is a defense issue.
 
I am more worried about the ato whistle blower in SA
The abc journo has plenty of supporters, lawyers but the poor ato bloke...
Evil wins when ordinary people......

The reason we had a Royal Commission into banking was due to the detailed knowledge of insiders breaching their employment contracts to expose corrupt conduct. And of course it was our "free" press which never let go of the bones they were offered by whistleblowers.
Should we need to live in a country where it is ok for our government to act in a manner which actively discourages matters of public interest to be reported?
Maybe you do not want to know that we are possibly hiding war crimes, or that we are going to be "spied on" through means which will never be be publicised. Or that any number of other acts of government agencies affect our liberties but will remain hidden.
What we are seeing is a government keen to shoot the messenger. And somehow the government is claiming it is not sanctioning this!
........ lost for words.

And yet people spend money to buy the Murdoch product. That's because they get some semblance of balance.

Aunty, unlike the private enterprise press, has a community charter to be balanced, "Without Agenda or Bias". It hoovers up $1Bill of taxpayers money every year.

I suppose the problem is when public interest, becomes trail by media and when alleged incidents become widely held beliefs.

Murdoch hoovers up more than that of taxpayers money because he is a tax avoider.

He should be paying us to read his biased diatribe - not scab it from people who subscribe to confirm their prejudices.
