ABC is Political

Poodles get all the bad press. I had one growing up. It was actually a smart dog.
They can walk on their hind legs though hence the mincing.

I can't put my finger on it but Chris Pyne does remind me of Alexander Downer in some way.

I guess it's OK to label some men as effeminate (Downer's net stockings cartoons won't go away) but if any Liberal labelled Penny Wong as a "strutting ****" there would be hell to pay.
 
ABC morning news is truthful!

The ABC morning news this morning admitted that Asylum Seekers, under Labor, was a "growth industry" !!!


Michael Rowland expected to lose his job.

It is a wonder the ABC did not blame Abbott.

I noted this morning Viginia Tripoli is trying hard to make soimething out of a connection with Scott Morrison and Toll Holdings over some deal on Manus or Nauru.

It's the accent I tell ya! Both Downer and Pyne have that classic South Australian accent. They say 'are' when they mean 'our'. For example, 'our policies' comes out as 'are policies'. Penny Wong does it too but because she is a woman and a Labor party member you don't automatically make the connection.


I agree about poodles, not my favourite pooch, but much maligned and very smart.

"Abbott to run City2Surf"

The story below from bigpond News mentions Abbott is running alongside vision impaired athlete Nathan Johnstone.

http://bigpondnews.com/articles/Top...P_NEWS_L_L1-2_AbbotttorunCity2Surf_RSS_100813

The story from ABC below says Abbott is going for a jog through Sydney , no mention of why he is doing it and whom he has given up his time to help.

Yes more very poor form from the ABC :banghead:

Anyone with facebook could spread the word as that seems to be the medium labor are using. Abbott has a facebook page and the story is on there with photos.
 
ABC continues to be so blatantly pro Labor and anti Coalition.

They have plugged the "sex appeal" comment to death.

Next Coalition Government will really need to consider the funding of this arm of the Labor party.

I certainly don't want to fund it with my taxes.

Yes I agree, the ABC are a disgrace.
 
Hear hear dutchie, I was disgusted listening to one of the radio shows one day, I had to turn the station.
I just couldnt believe how biased they were.

How can we be funding this station?

No worries dutchie, I believe Abbot will do some ethnic cleansing when he takes over on the 7th September.

I would say some of the ABC people are already looking for alternative jobs.

Labor will look after them somewhere around the country, if not in the Federal sphere maybe in one of the Labor states.

Come what may, Abbott has to strike a balance in the ABC by eliminating the pro leftie Laborites.
 
Rudd has the run of News 24 streamed to the ABC web site again for a lengthy session of his usual bull dust but it just goes on and on, Rudd has had an enormous chunk of ABC airtime this morning............ it's like as if the ABC are biased:rolleyes:
 
Not political, but I can't find an appropriate ABC related thread.

Go back to TripleJ Robbie Buck, and take your disposable music with you.

A saving grace of ABC Radio National has been that it had two one-hour shows of good music, afternoon and evening, thanks to Lucky Oceans and Doug Spencer.

But Lucky and Doug have been booted from the afternoon slot. Instead we have the execrable music choices of Robbie Buck. If music was cheese, Robbie's would come in plastic wrapped slices.

This kind of audio cruelty should not be inflicted upon taxpaying Australians. Go back to TripleJ Robbie Buck...please! I am holding this against the Radio National management.

Have you told them this?
 
How could anyone not like the ABC's Annabel Crabb?

Annabel Crabb, ABC online's The Drum, yesterday:

THERE was also no mistaking the pattern of behaviour. Six years ago, we sent her husband to the shops for an education revolution, an emissions trading scheme, a bunch of new childcare centres, a broadband network and some help with the cost of living. And he came home with 10,000 school halls, a mining tax, 50,000 boatpeople, net debt at more than 10 per cent of GDP, a broadband system much bigger than the one we ordered and the resignations of half the cabinet.

She's smart, astute and funny. Her "Kitchen Cabinet" featuring Rudd and Abbott on Wednesday and Thursday nights on ABC1 should be worth watching.
(not sure which bloke on which night)

That's right - this is the cooking show where Rudd apparently sneaked while having us all under the impression he was flying to Canberra for urgent talks over Syria.
 
The level of panic seems to be rising at the ABC in the last few days.. seems like about 85% of content is Labor Party related? I wonder why? :D

I was stopped at a State/Federal Roadblock today with about 10 workers on a major highway, and was forced to listen to ABC Radio National Rural Report.

I expected to be regaled with low prices, lack of rain, etc. etc. but instead suffered 18 minutes of bloody global warming claptrap.

Do not these jokers realise the tide has turned against soft left/green propaganda.

I pity a farmer on his tractor or bike, having to listen to this rubbish.

Perhaps they just report the facts after all? Tony (a global warming denier??) is so close now - can he keep his mouth shut for 2 more days ;)

Australia has just experienced its warmest 12 months since climate records began.

Data monitoring by the Bureau of Meteorology shows the average temperature throughout Australia in the year to August 31 was 1.11 degrees above the long-term average.

In Victoria, it was the warmest winter on record, just pipping the winter of 2005.

The nation's fourth-warmest spring on record morphed into the hottest summer on record. And now the seventh-warmest autumn has been followed by the third-warmest winter Australians have ever experienced.

In Victoria, it was the warmest winter on record, just pipping the winter of 2005.

In New South Wales, it was the second warmest, eclipsed only by the winter of 2009.

And across the nation, winter was 1.29 degrees warmer than the long-term average – defined as the years from 1961 to 1990 (which were themselves warmer than the first half of their century).

I'm not a disciple of any of the nitwits so my view of the ABC is that they are not biased in factual presentation. The staff may exhibit a left 'ambience' but rarely do I see it translate into bias when interviewing pollies ect or presenting news. They are not overtly conservative so the conservatives automatically label them 'left'? It a bit like 'if you aren't with us then you are against us' for the shrill conservative junta like Hadley & Jones. If you want to see the definition of biased just buy a Murdock paper......
