Nobody really needs statistics ?

Over rated ?

Most conservatives do not know what they mean anyway.

I find the ABC reasonably informative and I like some of the stories hanging around for a time, I don't go there all that often.

For ABC news I mostly do a topic search on google and read the ABC article on the topic. They do cover most current events in a timely manner with less bias that the commercial product.

In a time of universal deceit — telling the truth is a revolutionary act.

No evidence whatsoever it can be attributed to George Orwell or Eric Arthur Blair (in fact the same guy)

Dna -- I suppose you have a point there, and that's because the commercial TV stations are an abomination when it comes to their news bulletins.

Several times - just this last week, the opening Headline News has been a car crashing into a shopfront in Sydney, or into a roadside pole ... then switching to a story about a house on fire - with seemingly ENDLESS 'on-site' interviews with neighbours, Fire Brigade personnel, the police, a passing stray dog, a local shop-owner, and then back to the studio for more commentary.

But this last week's Channel NINE news service has specialised in something quite new to me ...

... There's a story about - yes - you've guessed it - a car crash somewhere ... followed immediately by a story with video footage of something serious and that has depth, such as Merkel in trouble, or billions being wiped off the international Share Markets, or North Korea letting off nuclear-capable rockets, etc etc ... AND THEN, the very next story plunges right back into the abyss of inanity by showing us yet ANOTHER car-crash story ...

I've sat on the lounge with my mouth open every time I've witnessed this insane news programming.

Try the Daily Telegraph lots of pictures and photo shopping for the uneducated masses.

Their columnists have no respect for political correctness or the Leftwing luvvies.

Miranda Devine
Piers Ackerman
Andrew Bolt
Tim Blair
Simon Benson

... and others. They don't hide behind political correctness as the Rotherham people did, or the Cologne police/ city fathers/ media/ et al - did.

Magazine-type stories. Put your glasses on, Johnny.

I think one problem the ABC has, is that is too big. Too many platforms.

It costs a billion dollars of the taxpayers' hard-earned cash each year. It's nothing but the propaganda arm of the Labor Party - just as is the BBC in the UK and CNN in the US.

Once again - props to SBS for practicing the priorities with their news service.

Starts with the serious stuff, and then slowly tapers off towards the end with Footy Hero stories and bush fires. I don't think they touch car crashes or someone's bedroom catching on fire.

Yet your title says 'ABC's online News site'

since when are the beckhams, or any of the other page 3 girls, news? I think your real problem is that you don't understand what news sites are meant to show. Gossip and saucy photos are not news. If you want that go to your local lawn bowls club and chat up the old girls.

and no matter how much evidence to the contrary is thrown your way, you'll keep repeating this rubbish won't you? If anything the ABC leans to the right.
