ABC is Political

[drsmith]

The G20 is a forum for international leaders to discuss finances and economics.

That apparently went right over the heads of Barrie Cassidy and his loyal team today on "Insiders" where the focus was 99% on climate change, despite this having its very own forum in Paris next year (I think).

I didn't hear a single comment about the practice of companies who make their money in one country being required not to evade tax in that country in favour of setting up in such as the Caymans. Or a single comment about how the high unemployment rate will be addressed by various countries. Or exactly how the predicted 2.1% growth will be achieved. Just nothing at all.

What was not actually about climate change was gleeful celebration of how the boot was put in to Putin by most of the leaders, and by Obama to Tony Abbott on climate change.

It's about time Malcolm Turnbull took his p/f seriously and did something about the exponentially growing arrogance of the ABC and its determination to prosecute its own Left agenda.

Bill Shorten's comment about saying nothing to Putin was covered briefly, very briefly.

That's what he's said to both Kevin Rudd and Julia Gillard in the past but Ol' Vlad doesn't have to worry about Bill plotting behind his back.

Holy hell Doc, surely you would not expect Shorten to criticize one of his comrades.....He would be too afraid Putin might set the a KGB agent on him. ...After all, they are both Fabians....sorry Julia.

I was bitterly disappointed with Insiders yesterday, and have decided to avoid viewing or listening to the the ABC until I see reports in the proper Media outlets of less bias against the Centre and Right of Politics.

Even The Guardian seems less biased than the ABC.

ABC NEWS24 , had run the same agenda since last Thursday. Every time I switched on to get some news it was the same rant and story , bagging Abbott and Australia over climate change at the G20. The days preceding were the same bagging , only this time about Abbott NOT shirt fronting Putin as promised.
I switched on to ABC NEWS breakfast as I do before work on Friday and had to turn it off after 10 minutes. The hosts ( Trioli and Roland ) found every excuse to make a snide remark about climate change , Abbott and then linked it to the G 20 . Again as mentioned above , not a single word or article about the G20 economic agenda and targets . To top it off they had Cassidy come in for his regular Friday segment , and no prizes for guessing what he also had to say .
The ABC news website was the same , running story after story followed by biased opinion articles. Then opening up the article for comments allowing the leftist brigades and Tony haters to take it a couple of steps further. I also noted as usual only anti government comments where allowed to be posted . I note today they are running the great news of the FTA with China . So far no comments pages are opened . I'll bet my last dollar they ( ABC ) are currently re-working the story as we speak , to put a negative leftist spin on it. Only then will they open up the " Have Your Say " so the faithful can do some more dragging down of this Government.

I have a feeling Malcolm Turbull is about to set a rocket up the ABC and it can't come sooner enough...The ABC have got away with too much for too long....The ABC have become the Fabian propaganda machine.

Well, perhaps Mr Turnbull needs a bit of encouragement. I've just sent him an email along the lines of my earlier post above re "Insiders"
If he were to receive enough such complaints he might start doing his job.

I am sure what you have done will not do any harm.

I know my local MP very well and have I have also sent my complaint to him and the latest communication with him indicated the fireworks are about to begin and Turnbull is on his mark.......I hope he is right.....just have to wait and see but I don't know why it has taken Turnbull so long to take some action on the ABC bias.......As we all know the ABC is funded with tax payers money and they do have a charter to follow....that charter clearly states the ABC have to be impartial.

Noco, you have been advised by some of your supporters on ASF to drop the "Fabian" generalisations.

I for one, do not know what "Fabian" means in layman terms ( i.e. stick to "commo bastard" and I might get a true picture of where you are coming from.)

Is the true definition of a "fabian", someone who "will help anyone out with no conditions attached regardless of religion, colour, creed, nationality or political persuasion".

Do you fit that description?

Actually, yes.

I didn't find it a trait, the union organisers I knew, exhibited.

 

[IFocus]

Oh god Insiders ridicule Labor and the usual suspects deem it not good enough.

Praise for the Coalition even if it was public servants who did the hard yards

Hockey interview was one of the softest I have seen for hard issues the Coalition face, back track on, lied about etc and you mob still complain................wasting my time here but get real or change your medications.

Never watch the insiders, never watch Bolt, never Q&A, aggressive other half hates politics.lol

I've only got you posters to argue with.lol

Quietly pick up my info on the internet.

Would that be Joe " I have never paid for a tank of fuel in my entire life" Hockey that you are referring to?

Joe is a man of the people, he has credibility, BIG TIME.

Hope the recent shootings in Mandurah weren't in your area, trust all is well.

Very sensible option imo, the 3 shows you mention make me want to pull my hair out. I accidentally watched both Q&A last week and a bit of the Bolt report too, it just reminds me why I don't watch much tv apart from sports. And don't get me started on the Q&A tweets, I swear 90% of them come from the inner city lefties in Adam Bandts seat.
As a whole the media really failed the G20, we had the left taking the climate issue while the right was trying to start the next cold war yet the number 1 issue that needed to be addressed I haven't heard anything about (multinationals dodging taxes).

Firstly, nobody has and never will advise me....If I want advice from you or anyone else I will ask for it.

If you don't like me using the expression of Fabian, stiff bickies!!!!!!!!!!!!I know you don't like to be labelled with that stigma, but I repeat again, the Greens and half the Labor Party are members of the Fabian society.......Instead of using the shadow of the Greens or the Labor Party, why doesn't these people actually use the name "COMMUNISTS" ?...I WILL GIVE YOU ONE GUESS.

You say you do not know what a Fabian is.....I have posted it on this forum twice...if you want it again just let me know.

 

[Julia]

AFAIK I'm the only person who gently suggested to noco that it might be good to drop some of the obsession with the Fabians. That does not give you the right to classify me as one of noco's supporters. I have no inbuilt support or dislike for any poster, so kindly refrain from applying classifications that are totally unjustified, Macquack.

Agree on both points, overhang. Just woeful reporting.

Macquack, I did offer a suggestion to Noco, but he told me I could stick my advice where the sun don't shine. I see he has now given you the same response.

And well warranted as far as I am concerned.

After being bushwacked on Q and A last night (again) by the Abbott, Abbott, Abbott gang, Malcolm Turnbull must have thought that a 5% reduction in funding was way too low.

The ABC has been getting away with anti Coalition diatribe for way too long.

If it can't uphold its charter to be unbiased then it should be sold off!

I was so disgusted with that show last night that I switched off less than half through....Turnbull had to go it alone last night with four anti Liberals against him and that Tony Jones allowed that raving lunatic of a comedian to interject and rave on as long as he wanted.......It also appeared to have a very unbalanced and stacked audience who gave the lefties overwhelming support with resounding applause.

The ABC was likened Custer's last stand 26th June 1876.......The ABC threw all they could at Abbott and the Coalition in a last ditch stand to discredit them in every way they could.......I would not be surprised if the ABC realize this may also be their last stand and may well be taken to task with the ABC charter which they have completely ignored.......it is totally dominated by Fabian supporters, engaged by the Labor Party, who have controlled and sprouted their propaganda for far too long.
