Spring fires in NSW, the ABC and a historical context.

What, I'm confused.

So, the ABC is biased towards the left - in fact,a 'propaganda arm' of the left attempting to 'extinguish conversation' according to GG - and the solution is to have it reflect the opinion of the majority of the Australian population - which would be... a right leaning bias, would it not? Would it not then become a propaganda arm of the right?

It's the top down crap that irritates the majority, spun by the elite left, in their inner city over priced former workers cottages and driving Range Rovers and Daihatsu Terios'

The general ABC Whinge bears no relationship to the aspirations of all classes in Society from Aspirational to Bogan.

It reflects a small inner-city elite.

The 730report tonight is being blatantly political.

It is running 3 items.

The NSW Bushfires.

A Slur on the ADF, our Defence Forces, for allegedly causing one fire.

A free kick for one of the greatest Climate Alarmists, Al Gore, during maximum stress for communities affected by fire.

Non-sequitur. What is required from the ABC is balance, not propaganda... of any colour.

It is the practiced MO of the Left during bushfire emergencies to look for scapegoats - little kids, the utilities, the army, climate change. Anything to distract attention from the real culprit - their duplicitous undermining of fuel reduction practices.

In NSW it is a dual pronged strategy, they have infiltrated the bushfire bureaucracy as well, there are kms of green tape to wade through now.

ABC 7:30 Report had no trouble sinking the slipper into honest soldiers doing their job. Defence may have been responsible for the ignition of a fire, but they are not responsible for the subsequent rate of spread or intensity.

50:50 would be fine by me, but we've seen 95:5 over an extended period. Employing a conservative or two would be a good start. And some researchers, the fact checking unit or whatever it's called, has under-performed, and made some presenters look pretty silly.

Get out the broom, long overdue -

Attorney-General George Brandis asks ABC's Barrie Cassidy to quit Old Parliament advisory council

ABC political commentator Barrie Cassidy has been asked to stand down from his chairman position on the Old Parliament House Advisory Council.

The request comes from Attorney-General George Brandis, while Prime Minister Tony Abbott earlier raised concerns about Labor appointing "friends to all sorts of positions" in the dying days of the Rudd government.

Barrie's appointment is unusual to say the least, on the day or just before the writs were issued.

He needs to remember he runs a flagship, although be it very left biased ABC programme, which is paid for by taxpayers.

I have just spoken to Barrie, and he has decided to step down from the Board position.

A good decision. It will save any stench from pervading matters.

Didn't Smith defend the wedding rorts?

Unlike the ABC, Michael Smith is not funded by the taxpayer to the tune of a nine-figure sum.

What credibility does the ABC have for FFS?

Needs a lot of ethnic cleansing starting from the top.

Lol... in your opinion only IF.

Obviously you haven't seen the extensive documentation Smith provides on his website.

So rather than discuss Smith's material you pathetically take a swipe at the man's credibility...

This thread is the usual Liberal party partisan rant, lets pick a comparison "there is a budget emergency".

Was is Goebbels who said "If you repeat a lie often enough, it becomes the truth" thats all I see day after day on these threads.

"The ABC is political" what rubbish they broadcast for the sake of the community rural and metropolitan.

They are there for the middle not the absolute extreme right that exists on these threads.

They often cover the arts and culture aspects that exist in this country not the extreme right wing politics.

As for Michael Smith I repeat he has absolute zero credibility, none what's so ever thats before he defended the wedding rorts of his mates, in Keatings words he is just a grub...........thats why he got fired remember.

Oops iFocus, you have just invoked Godwins Law, and this argument according to protocol should cease.

Godwin’s Law is an internet adage that is derived from one of the earliest bits of Usenet wisdoms, which goes “if you mention Adolf Hitler or Nazis within a discussion thread, you’ve automatically ended whatever discussion you were taking part in.”


Mike Godwin coined his observation as a “natural law of Usenet” in 1990. For more information about Godwin’s Law, check out Wikipedia.

What was that about a $70bn black hole in the Coalition's costings ?

I was going to suggest you look in the mirror but you've long since cracked it.

Why keep up with the lie that Smith was fired?

Seems you never let the truth get in the way of your propaganda...
