ABC Leftist swill

Post by Rorschach » Sun Nov 23, 2014 4:58 pm

The ABC is Australia's National Broadcaster, as such it is supposed to be politically neutral, or at least balanced. In fact it is supposed to be balanced in all things.
When the ALP get all up in arms about a piddling 5% over 5 years and accuse the Government of censorship , you have to ask yourself... why?
Bill Shorten told us today... it is because the ABC are now the propaganda wing of the ALP and the Greens.

Take a quick look at the rally in Sydney yesterday and who do you see.
The ALP
The Greens
Unions
and the Socialist Alliance...

You got something sensible to say or are you just on a little troll through the site as per normal?

Sky news is not a publicly funded national broadcaster is it? Did I miss that?
Most times when I catch Sky... and I don't have pay tv etc... they usually have anti-Coalition items on even in their news.
As for my use of terminology in the title... I was paying hommage to PK. :du :du :du

Just as Sky News is for the Lib's idiot.
Sky news can be as biased as it wants. The taxpayer isn't paying for it you stupid bint.

But thanks for admitting that you know the ABC is leftist biased. :thumb good job.

The ABC has always being left biased. (Like the BBC)

It is the type of people they attract.

I worked at the BBC in London for a couple of years (had a project there) and they are socialist to a person. if the staff are left wing it is human nature to carry that into the reports as many of them start with a premise when investigating and when they spin it.

I think we all know it however the ABC does provide a relatively independent service that I think would be a loss to Australia if it was just completely dumped. You know when they are biased.

The issue is that the average punter may not.

Yes SN that appears to be right. I know a few people who work for the ABC and they are very LW Progressive in their politics and very intolerant of any other POV.

You may like it but those not of your political persuasion do not. It is also a breach of their charter.
If you've missed the Sky LW partisan agenda you obviously don't watch it enough or during election time.

Oh and I'd kill for a copy of the Firecracker speech.

National broadcasters should be a medium that allow a balancing voice to those that arn't represented by corporate media.

You get a voice within the balanced collective that everyone pays for. You don't get to decide the balance just because you are unable to sell your ideas to the mainstream who don't want to pay for it.
