So the ABC can actually be biased... but only when it suits you..

The difference is that the rightards have never presented a single compelling example of ABC pro-left bias. This active censorship by the ABC of discussion on the NBN is real and it has been ongoing since 2013.

'The one that gagged him was apparently Sally Cray who is now Turnbulls private secretary.'

Care to explain this away Cods?

whats to explain????......

are you telling me GILLARD didnt silence the media.... when she got two journos the SACK.......

or it that all acceptable by your double standards..

at least I cannot recall your horror about that.

Angry

Diversion is not an explanation cods. If gillard was responsible for the sacking of 2 journos,which I think is untrue,did she then employ the peson who carried out the sackings on her personal staff? How is it you can see perceived corruption(in your mind) carried out by labor but not blatant corruption by the liberals?

"In early march 2013 I was told by a senior ABC manager that ABC management was expecting the Liberals to win the next election and that Malcolm Turnbull would be in charge of the ABC and they didn't want to upset him.From this point in I documented everything.After that I had articles held back ( one wasn't even published) and heavily pressured not to write anything on the matter" This is just one of many juicy details being revealed on Reddit currently

The ABC is going to be sued for millions for both defamation and bullying and harassment. The Media Watch "episode" against Nick Ross was a completely fabricated hitpiece to shut him up, both Ross and Renai have all the documented evidence of this. Because Ross had actually provided FACTUAL coverage on the NBN, against the NBN denier onslaught in the MSM, he was claimed as the bias one, they didn't even bother contacting him. they also "reprimanded" him by leaking false information to The Australian about a "reprimand" that never actually happened, as he states in his own post, he only found out about this "reprimand" in a public name and shame article.

I bet there is a lot of file shredding going on over at the ABC today.

I have never claimed to be unbiased, and you are lying by implying this. The only actual hypocrisy on this matter is your constant criticism of the bias of others - both real and fictional - when you are one of the most biased people on the Forum.

Don't lie. I report people who use personal abuse. I have every right to do this, and I will not be bullied out of my rights by your petulant whining about being reported. And yes, that abuse is reported; I don't announce each occasion but it is being reported. Don't like being made accountable? Don't use personal abuse.

Personal abuse from you is a concession of the discussion and all related ones. I accept your concession.

I love how the Leftards continue to try in vain to blame the Coalition for the expensive failure that is Labor's NBN.

The Liberals are being widely lambasted for what they have done to the NBN plan. The problem is the Liberals NBN no one was complaining about Labor's NBN.

Labor never had a plan for the NBN. They had a napkin with some scribbling on it!!! Roll Eyes

Why do you keep on with this crap? The Expert Panel recommended the FTTH NBN. Barnaby Joyce and Sen Nash designed a network practically the same as Labor’s NBN in Howard’s day. Howard didn’t care about infrastructure, only buying elections so that plan got filed in Page House.

A proper business case was written for Labor’s NBN, all that. It is the Lib MTM mess was designed by Turncoat’s friends, a real mishmash of fantasy in the Strategic” Review. Like the so–called CBA saying internet traffic was slowing! Then Netflix came to Australia and the network is overloaded.

No wonder they will likely switch to FTTDp.

The updated story -

'The Inside Track: No, the ABC did not gag Nick Ross'

'Put the pitchforks away and go back to your homes, people. The unfortunate truth is that the Australian Broadcasting Corporation did not gag Nick Ross from writing about the National Broadband Network and that it was his own choice not to respect the broadcaster's clear editorial guidelines. '

https://delimiter.com.au/2016/01/15/the-inside-track-no-the-abc-did-not-gag-nick...

'Why I really walked out on Crimewatch, by Nick Ross'

'CRIMEWATCH host Nick Ross was forced out of his job by BBC bosses following backstage clashes over the show’s increasingly violent reconstructions of real-life crimes.'

http://www.express.co.uk/news/uk/11113/Why-I-really-walked-out-on-Crimewatch-by-...

Seems he has had similar problems in the past.

Hope Nick Ross continues to tell his story UNGAGGED.

Because Labor did nothing of the kind.

The claim has repeatedly been proven to be false.

Stop regurgitating propaganda and misrepresenting it as fact.
