ABC is Political

Jump to new
Yep, replace the wasted ads with revenue ads.

Merge Parliament radio with National radio and lease the freed up spectrum to a commercial network.

Cap the pay for chairs, directors, executives, on-air staff. It's a public service after all.

Those 3 things alone will slash the running costs.
 
Agree they are absolute shyte... tabloid rubbish mostly, notwithstanding a very few exceptional programs.

We don't actually have very much balanced journalism at all from either Auntie or the globalist media (balance being a subjective measure).
 
People know when they are being scammed.

The national broadcaster ABC has a government charter of balance. But ABC national news and current affairs has been infiltrated and captured by an inner-city collective, unconnected to real Australia.

Regional ABC excepted, it is exceptional and beyond reproach.

Why should taxpayers subsidize just one side of an argument? Especially one so destructive to the nation's future, it's Pravda, and at an exhorbitant cost of $1.1 Billion p.a. - and Ita wants more!

You're kidding Ita Buttrose, a reduction in your budget is what you deserve!
 
People know when they are being scammed.
More to the point people know when they are not being scammed.

Every investigation into fair, balanced, accurate and impartial reporting has concluded that taxpayers are not subsidising only one side of an argument.

Even more tellingly, the latest investigation found they are not distorting the media market.

How much did that inquiry cost ? Half a million dollars. For nothing.

So no wonder the Conservatives want to slash the ABC budget - so they can then blow the savings on their own special brand of vexatious bull shyte whilst complaining of the odour
 
Hohoho.... Hahahaha....BWAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

Funny guy
 
''latest investigation'..?

Let's move beyond Ultimo and Fitzroy and ask about the ABC's "..fair, balanced, accurate and impartial reporting". It's time the inner-city staff collective was held accountable.

"Without Agenda or Bias"..ABC. This is a lie, and an insult to ordinary taxpaying Australians.

It is an affront to all taxpayers, currently paying $1.1 Billion p.a. to the (allegedly) National broadcaster.
 

Show some examples please.
 
Interesting > apart from the Guardian I've never heard of those other lefty outlets.

If you think it's a lie it's up to you to prove it.

Here's a tip. Personal bias against employees based on what side of the latte line they live in just doesn't cut da mustard

Nah, all good - time travel in cyberspace is fun when it works.
 
PZ and SirR,
the burden of proof is with the alleged national broadcaster, currently asking the federal government - which it relentlessly trashes (on the taxpayers dollar) to increase it's $1.1 Billion p.a. budget

ABC national news - hire one conservative. Hire just one.

Then I might think about giving you more taxpayers dollars
 

If you don't like ABC news, why are you watching it ?

I don't watch it either I get the news online, but how does the ABC present the News in a "Leftist" way ?
 
If we think about it, the ABC is really meant to be a way of the government sharing info with the Oz public, that was it's original purpose.

So it really only needs one website, one radio network and one TV network.

SBS was started as a way for those who did not speak english to catch up on the news etc. So, now that we have the NBN we can close SBS completely, no longer needed.

We also do not need multiple ABC channels either, we can get alternative views and news online.

So I reckon we can do that and the budget can be $500k

It was also there to provide some relief from the awful American tv crap thrust on us.

Well, I watch a lot of News24 and I can't really see how they are "Lefty". They show Morrison's press conferences and Albanese's so that seems pretty fair to me.

News 24 kind of ok, they present facts, headlines like justin etc usually ok,
It is usually the "journalism" behind which is not only biaised but usually dumb
explaining you how reality is based on a 25y old gender study female student view of the world who genuinely think that our cities are going to be submerged in 20y by global warming caused by co2
It is more like the article Germany gets rid of coal...one i read lately

Well yes as too expensive in Germany, and will do this in the next 30y.. not exactly what the title meant

News ltd has horrendous click bait articles with as much BS, and the courier Mail thinks a title without a bad pun is not a title.
Really pathetic to be honest

Honestly if they could stick as a reuter and afp..like news24? no problem
Give me facts all of them, i can sort and make my own opinion
I do not need one from a younger less travelled less educated than me.
A good editorial by a real expert will then fill the voids

And they definitively follow an agenda..which might meet the gov sometimes remember Pauline lynching etc during Howard years?

I have to say since Abbot is gone and Trump won his case, they must feel defeated as their rant is not as strident

Coincidentally, i had just posted an al jazeera vs ABC headlines this arvo in the corvir19 thread
It is quite stunning imho.?
Australia is not supposed to worry
I should try ABC news24
Thanks for the hint
