ABC is Political

Jump to new
One should complain about bias..Roger Corbett, a paid up member of the Liberal Party,was allowed to give commentary denigrating Ruddwithout it being credited as Liberal Party advertisement.
What is the ABC coming to with their political bias..

I would think there have been many paid up labor members commenting on the ABC offering their own opinions - do you complain about as well?

Whether or not Corbett is a paid up liberal member, I don't know, and you have provided no substantiation to your claims. But even if he is, it's not a crime to talk about your own opinions.

This sounds more like you are grasping at straws!

This has been front and centre on the ABC web site all day, reporting Rudd's statement about a recession as fact, they've crossed the line now, must be desperate.

After all their critisism of Abbott supposedly talking down the economy, now Rudd tries to scare people into a recession. More likely we would end up with a recession if labor get back in for another three years, imo. Can only imagine what the debt level would be like...:eek:

Sails, I woundn't worry about what Rudd says. Level headed people have stopped listening to this rat bag
 
With regards Roger Corbett...what do you think would happen if a clandestine Labor member gave an interview like that.I am positive that the many conservative members on this forum would be screaming blue murder.It would be proof positive that the ABC was politically biased.
One of my little annoyances is Q and A on the ABC.I wish that they would ban politicians from the panels.I do not want politicians of any persuasion to air their partisan views.And then we have applause from the audience when any view coincides with theirs,that is,pierces their bias grid.As soon as the applause starts I turn off the TV.
What we should have is people with different views that stimulate our thought processes.I am a sucker for an articulate intellectual-someone that I recognise has superior and different thought processes than my own.
However,perhaps most people need their personal views validated?

Reasoned debate with full disclosure of interests is reasonable.

It should be de rigeur that ABC political analysts and interviewers state their political leanings.

Corbett has as much right as anyone else to slag off Rudd. He would be the only one in the country, ALP or Coalition, not to have done so.

As for QandA and Insiders they are stacked with lefties.

Sails, they do sometimes mix in a touch of comedy with their propaganda. On local ABC radio this morning they had on a top union official who said that Abbott was going to cut health and education services to "smithereens".

I think there is plenty of evidence in these threads to show that the posters here have an open and fair mined view of all things extreme right wing LOL :)

The dark side will always make the loudest noise the side where there is light can only try to show them enlightenment. ;)
 
Any one want to comment positively about Tony Abbott's performance last night with Annabel Crabb?
It is hard not to be impressed with Annabel,and I do like the fifties? outfits.Dare to be different!
My guess is that everyone is saving up the plaudits for Kevin Rudd tonight.

In the one on one chat they had while they dined, I was impressed by how he reflected upon himself.

It will be interesting to see what Kevin has to say in comparison.
 
I thought it was interesting how all the commercial TV stations refused to show a Get Up ad.

The ad was pointing out that the Murdoch Press were clearly determined to get rid of the Rudd Labour Government clearly demonstrated by the front page articles they ran attacking the government. Get Up thought the public might like to make their own minds up on the issue of who to vote for.

Now what a surprise that the entire commercial media decided not to allow such an ad.:rolleyes:

The full story is (naturally) on the ABC. (You don't seriously expect the commercial media to make a story on their desire to kill an ad that challenges one of their biggest, meanest mates ?

And the ad is certainly worth a look - if only to remind us we are supposed to have free speech and an informed democracy.

I think Annabel has keep the left overs from last night to dish up to Rudd tonight.

I hope she forgets to put them in the micro oven.

Maybe she will give Rudd some hot tongue and cold shoulder.:D:D:D
 
I enjoyed Annabel's chat with Tony Abbott. It seemed for the most part to be quite thoughtful and interested on both of their parts. I liked that Tony Abbott was as self-disclosing about quite personal stuff and all up, felt reassured about Mr Abbott as PM.
