ABC is Political

I agree that both those shows are predictable and a waste in that regard.

The only comment usually made is that the ABC is paid for by everyone whether they like the show or not whilst Bolt's program is paid for by people who like his show.

Yes, there is a difference between the two which many do not understand or will not accept that the ABC is paid for the tax payer, that the ABC is stacked with people appointed by the Fabian Society (the Democratic Socialist, communism ah la the Green/Labor Party) to control the propaganda and lies to be ever criticizing a conservative government and its leader to meet its own dodgy ideology and to finally control peoples lives in this country.

The ABC have a strict charter to follow in being unbiased and the ABC abuse that charter at every opportunity where as Channel 10 is an independent body which relies on advertising and if their programs are not entertaining , there ratings fall, advertising falls income falls and then they struggle to stay afloat.

So there is a marked difference between the two.
 
Why do we have to put up with this Mallah fellow when he talks about gang raping two female journalist on TV,

It is abusing the use of free speech which he states he has right to use.

He is mentally sick and should monitored, jailed or sent out of the country...We do not need this type of social welfare grub in our society.

In the 21st century, the hard Left goes soft on men who attack liberal democracy and promote violence against women as long as such men belong to a Left-anointed minority.

Q&A host Tony Jones upbraided Mallah, but only after he had blamed the government for jihadism. And Tuesday’s limp corrective by the ABC falls well short of the explanation we need and the apology Australians deserv
 

I absolutely agree with you, we don't want his sort here. Unfortunately I believe that he was born here and is therefore an Australian citizen by birth and we can't get rid of him.

Obviously, heads should roll at Channel 10 for their treasonous actions in giving voice to a convicted criminal.

Worse than that we taxpayers actually indirectly fund much of the commercial stations with cheap spectrum (the Labor govt cut the rate from 9% to 4.5% which means we lose about $500m a year that could have half funded the ABC, which runs on a smaller income than the free to airs, but handles way more stations, channels and radio programs.

Of course now the NBN is coming online the commercial stations will get free spectrum incase they switch to fibre.

Oh yes we can.....a stray bullet would make it easy.
 
Didn't Alan Jones want to tie Gillard in a bag and dump her out at sea?

That isn't really what disappoints me, I just find it a sad waste of good air time, they are really wasting their journalistic ability.IMO

I would like nothing more than to have my personal perceptions challenged, unfortunately there isn't any current affairs programmes that aren't predictable in their bias.

This in turn has a, "seen and heard it all before" message, so I can't be bothered watching any of them.

Why can't they present both sides of an arguement, and the pros and cons associated to the issue.

Why do they have to be obvious, when cutting off or speaking over, the interviewed subject. The arrogance even extends to speaking over and shouting down experts in the given subject.

When did Journalist become the source of all knowledge and truth, rather than the seekers of knowledge and truth.

It used to be that journalists provided the medium, for the truth to be exposed, now the truth is what the journalists believe.
 
Inviting this guy on to Q&A was a very stupid idea.

The ABC should really have known better...

What a show it would be to have Tony Jones, Andrew Bolt, Bill Shorten and Tony Abbott all on the one show...Throw in Scott Morrison and Bowen.

Just as well Tony Abbott is a pugilist....

That is the sort of show we would be getting, if the journalists were unbiased and the guests had confidence in them being so.

Instead we get the garbage we recieve, from self opinionated, self obsessed journalists, that have an unbelievable regard for their own opinion.

Mods, Is this out of order please. Surely there's enough inflammatory overstatement coming from Canberra without ASF adding to the smoke and stink.

I think the moderators cut noco a degree of slack, due to his service in Tobruk, the Burma railroad(for which the Burmese people are eternally grateful) the Kokoda trail and many other fights defending this fine country.

you thinking pot/kettle/black too?
 
Justice Wood, who sentenced Mallah in 2005 over making threats to kill an ASIO officer, warned about “sections of the media (who) gave him an entirely undeserved and unnecessary exposure. “Placing a person such as the prisoner into the public spotlight is … likely to encourage him to embark on even more outrageous and extravagant behaviour,” he said.

So the ABC ignores the court's advice. So criticism of the ABC has nothing to do with free speech.
 

So why don't you criticise Channel 10 for the same offence ?

Failure to do so smells of an ideological war against the ABC for being an Independent broadcaster and not towing the government line. Of course if Labor was in power, some people would criticise them for towing the government line.


The ABC and Channel 10 have done the public a favour my exposing Mallah and showing what a nasty creature he is. The public need to know that there are people like him around and what dangers they present.
 
The guys behaviour has changed over the years.
He is much more moderate. The bad stuff happened in 2005.

Rumours are Abbott is planning an election based on getting Shorten compromised, ABC neutered before Bishop challenges.

If that's the case then on his recent public commentary, I wouldn't like to have seen what he would have been like in 2005.

Toby Abbott would be insane to go to an early election and talk of such is just a media beat up.
