where will we turn for information

without the MEDIA??

just answer me that smithy?

not so very long ago the left were aghast at the thought of internet censorship in fact some of you declared you would never vote for Conroys censorship...

can you tell me exactly what the difference is..

we already know the govt of the day can listen to anyone or everything ???? lets not pretend otherwise..

if you dont believe that then thats your prerogative.

but believe me if we all had microchips it could not be worse..

they tell us all the cameras around the country are to protect us from ourselves...... ok believe that if you will..

at least lets have a freedom of the media...if I thought for one moment all media was in the control of some bloody faceless bureaucrat.

then goodbye the Australia I know hello Nth Korea.

I agree, dont like the news as it is printed in our papers find one that appeals to you.. but dont confuse reading with what you like to read with being the truth thats all.

I think I get pretty rounded picture of whats going on I watch SBS ABC and usually 10 news.. I read newspapers as well..

I do not want to read one persons opinion like Crikey or Getup.. owned by one person with one agenda...I do not begrudge you lefties reading them though..thats the difference.

LEFT-leading activist group GetUp! has condemned proposed Labor curbs on the media as an assault on freedom of speech.

Incoming GetUp! director Sam Mclean said the group could not support a new super media regulator or a public interest test for media proprietors, currently under consideration by the Gillard government…

“We believe in freedom of the press, and the model of regulation that has been put forward seems to us to cut across that important freedom.”

Agree.

Julia Gillard - twice selected, never elected.

We're still paying for the Whitlam Government.

If you don't know the difference between censorship and regulations requiring truth in reporting then there's no point.

Just watch just about any episode of media watch (again filthy left leaning ABC program) to understand what is being proposed.

They take everyone to task including the ABC.

The media is more fearful of appearing on that show than ACMA, which is like saying your more worried about the local fat mall security than the riot squad.

here's some reading for you if you care.

http://www.abc.net.au/unleashed/4022628.html

some salient points

Quote:

On the very first day of public hearings, in Melbourne on November 8, Mr Finkelstein categorically ruled out any return to a licensing regime for the print media when the idea was floated by Stephen Mayne, the journalist and shareholder activist. He said that licensing meant the government decreeing who is able to publish news, which, he said, "is as close as going back to the Dark Ages as you could find" as it represents "probably as extreme an encroachment on news dissemination as you could get" (Transcript, 8 November, p 99-100). This is relevant in the light of the dire extrapolations made about the inquiry report's recommendations.

Quote:

Dennis Pearce was chair of the Press Council between 1998 and 2000 and apart from being an emeritus professor of law at ANU he has also been Commonwealth ombudsman. In his presentation he described as "disgraceful" a decision by The Australian to refuse to publish an adjudication by the council about a complaint and in fact to withdraw from the council for several months (Transcript, 9 November, p 191).

Quote:

Mr Greg Hywood, the chief executive of Fairfax Media, was unable to explain why news media companies could satisfactorily put in place Chinese walls between their editorial and their advertising departments to ensure that governments, which are major advertisers with newspapers, could not influence editorial policy, but that a regulatory body with even partial government funding would be inevitably and irretrievably compromised.

Yes Tnoy it is an insult to the core of our beliefs if people Like Bolt do not have a free reign to their dishonest racial abuse and the freedom to abuse vilify and lible who ever they like.

Well, it is a FREE press you know??? Or would you rather live in North Korea, where televisions and radios come pre-programmed to show state-run channels only - if you can afford one.
