ABC Leftist swill

[boxy]

Bring on the infomercials!

Good to see that you too recognise that the ABC is biased.

In that case there is only one fair thing to do.
Sack the lot, close it down and sell the land.

Thanks

People from the right and left rely on and enjoy the ABC. I don't think the ABC is deliberately biased, it's just that most of the employees are left wing.

Wasn't Janet Albrechtson on the board to bring some balance? Howard filled it with RW's during his time. It didn't make a difference though.

They don't employ any conservatives because its a left wing biased closed shop of assholes and it should be shut down completely. If the lefties here recognise that its biased, then the management surely knows it is and refuse to do anything about it.

They should be all fucking sacked.

The Advisory Board changes every 3 years. The 12 members couldn't all be LW.

The ABC will next be calling for new members to join the Advisory Council in August 2015.

ABC Advisory Council 2014.

Scott Cowans (WA), Ben Spence (NSW), Heron Loban (Far North QLD), Gideon Cordover (NSW), Charmaine Foley (QLD), Nakul Legha (ACT), Rena Henderson (TAS) & Kez Hall (NT)

Melissa Cadzow (SA), Rob Ryan (QLD), Joan McKain – Convenor (NSW) & Kate Duncan (VIC)

The Role of the Advisory Council

Either on its own initiative or at the request of the Board, to advise the Board on matters relating to the Corporation’s broadcasting programs.

Provide a broad representation of Australian community concerns and interests in relation to programming.

Analyse and consider reports and papers, in relation to programming, provided by the ABC.

Facilitate communication between the community and the ABC Board.

Within the framework of the Council’s annual work plan, carry out community consultation seeking views on ABC programming initiatives.

Council can also hold interest group meetings from time to time.

They aren't responsible for the hiring of nothing but leftwing fucktards

Oh I think it is deliberately biased mantra.
The people I know who work there certainly make sure it is on their shows.
As for Janet, she was just one voice in the wilderness, as for your anti-Howard obsession you need to look who is on the board.
Even if the Coalition filled the board with all RWingers they would still be vastly outnumbered.

Obviously the Council is not doing it's job mantra... but then more importantly neither is the BOARD.

The ABC Board is responsible for the ABC’s operations. The duty of the Board is to ensure that the functions of the Corporation are performed efficiently with maximum benefit to the people of Australia, and to maintain the independence and integrity of the Corporation. The Board is also responsible for ensuring that the gathering and presentation of news and information is accurate and impartial, according to recognised standards of journalism, and that the ABC complies with legislative and legal requirements.

The last sentence being very important.

Then under the Board you have the Executive

It's a workers collective leftwing fuck fest.

It cannot be reformed. It needs to be shut down.

Beyond it's bias news reporting don't you think it adds value?

It may add less value as we use other forms of media like the infamous NBN to view our good stuff and Number 96 is no longer breaking new ground.
