the ABC is socially and politically biased, but then what news source is not?

Correction.

The ABC is shamelessly a propaganda media agency for International Socialism.

It hates everything the west stands for.

Channel coolade.
The young are indoctrinated by the national curriculum at school and if mum and dad are into living in an echo chamber , then this gets reinforced at home as they watch more indoctrination from ABC intellectuals who couldn't get a job in the real media and so live in a state of jealousy and toxic envy.

It is so important that parents make sure kids get a dose of Alan in the car on the way home from school and some Tracey grimshaw at night to provide some balance in their lives

Excellent advice.

And instead of church on Sunday mornings ~ The Andrew Bolt Show.  Cool

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.



Are you visiting your own cache Herb. ?

The ABC online news service is utterly pathetic.

But still much better than many of the private services who list on searches only to take you to a pay firewall and tell you nothing.

In my view if you are going to hide the information you should not be listing that info on searches.

Reminds me of school when a teacher would ask the class ... "WHO threw that chewed wad of blotting paper?" ...

Dead silence. Nobody breathes. Nobody moves. His eyes sweep over us like searchlights in the night at Stalag 13 ...

Jawohl mein herr!


Commercial stations have a financial interest in appealing to as broad an audience as possible in order to maximise their ratings potential upon which they base their fees for advertising. Investment shareholders have to be kept happy.

This is in total contrast to taxpayer-funded sheltered workshops such as the ABC and it's self-consciously racist cousin the SBS media organisation.

The ABC's income is assured by government charter. It has long since become the unofficial propaganda agency for Australia's Leftwing luvvies, the art crowd, homosexuals, Greenies, anti-westerners, anti-capitalists, the anti-USA trendies, and apologists for terrorist Muslims and advocates for border crashers and sundry fraudulent asylum-seekers.

The so-called 'comedians' who strut their stuff on the ABC can only find employment within this sheltered workshop as no commercial station could afford their failure to attract a decent audience.

Rubbish.

Where DO you get these silly misconceptions?

The claim has been refuted and disproven so many times it's not funny.

But still the Right persist...

That's an excellent point.

Why has Aunt Herbie decided to source news from other sites all of a sudden.

Is he thinking of giving up trolling, to make way for matty and his socks?

"The ABC provides us with a wonderful example of what happens when journalists do take over the asylum. And the record of the ABC shows quite clearly that journalists freed from effective constraints of accountability are not fearless prosecutors of free speech and open debate.

***

Now, when was the last time any of us heard an ABC announcer refer to the 'radical' Greenpeace, the 'left-wing' Australia Institute or the 'ultra-left' or 'ultra-radical' anything? Only those deemed to be on the right of centre are automatically given ideological labels by ABC presenters.

***

Nevertheless, one of the ABC's distinguishing features is how the biases one notices in political commentary is replicated in foreign coverage, environmental issues, religious broadcasts, coverage of art and cultural events, even in drama series. There is clearly a common outlook amongst ABC journalists, presenters, producers, researchers, writers: a common ABC culture.

What I mean by staff capture is that the ABC lacks a real owner, and the result is that it is, in practice, unaccountable to the general public. Furthermore, this lack of accountability makes the interests of ABC staff the dominant interest in determining its behaviour.

***

Perhaps the most powerful evidence is from Queensland University Professor John Henningham's survey of journalists, where journalists rated 7.30 Report, ABC News, Four Corners and SBS News (in that order) as the most pro-ALP media outlets.

***

It is a huge advantage being able to sell moral vanity to journalists. And journalists are eager buyers, particularly in the Fairfax press, The Australian, The Canberra Times, the Canberra press gallery and the ABC. It offers to participants membership of a moral elite, one requiring no effort apart from agreeing to certain attitudes. Failure to join, however, offers the prospect of exclusion, abuse and reduced opportunities.

***

First, it is disproportionately important in the amount of news, current affairs and documentary broadcasting it produces---AM effectively sets the news agenda for the day.

Second, as a staff-captured organisation, it is far more dominated by the moral vanity games of journalists than any other media organisation, even the Fairfax press.

Such an approach is both inherently intellectually sterile, since it is hostile to genuine inquiry, and destructive of democracy. Both democracy and truth-discovery require flourishing debate and clash of opinion".

Well, at least he's not getting old news stories (circa 1999), from some right-wing think tank like the Institute of Public Affairs.

Even Aunt Herbie wouldn't be that silly.
