The ABC online news service is utterly pathetic.
Dec 19th, 2014 at 8:04am
 
This morning they're showing exactly the same news as they had yesterday evening.

Same headlines ... same pictures.

And the ABC costs us one billion dollars every 12 months to fund.

Pathetic.

And Abbott is pathetic for letting this sheltered workshop carry on as it is.

Isn't there a breaking news section on the side?

Just checked, yes there is

Yep, "Just In".

First story updated 1 minute ago, and the second story updated 9 minutes ago.

Better than any other site I've seen.

Herbie's just takin' his morning troll.

It's not bad but as Herb says it doesn't compare to the breadth of cover of, say, Reuters or CNN or, if you want a bit more salaciousness, the Daily Mail.

Know the enemies of a civil society by their public behaviour, by their fraudulent claim to be liberal-progressive, by their propensity to lie and, above all, by their attachment to authoritarianism.

'Just in' ~ pathetic little Add-On.

And what covers 99% of the ABC'c online Home page?

Yesterdays fish and chips wrappings. Same headlines ~~ same photos.

Lazy, careless, disgraceful.

Correct.

Or Fox.

It's weak, feeble, limp-and-impotent, soft-cock reporting.

usually the most clicked on stories ... you click your anti immigration story 10 000 times and it'll probably appear on the front page too

Herbie prefers hard-cock reporting.

(Not that there's anything wrong with that)

Rubbish!

If you want to see that, go have a look at Yahoo7's homepage.

Mostly US stories, and mostly days (or weeks) old. And nineMSN
isn't much better.

You are knocking the ABC unfairly.

Aren't they supposed to be "downsizing"? Perhaps they are ALL on strike due to this?  Poor tings.

Abbott promised no tax hikes & no cuts to the ABC

There's a 'budget emergency', so we will give $9 billion to the Reserve Bank, spend $12 billion on some dubious jets, $2 billion to bomb Iraq, etc.
