ABC = UK
SBS = Mainland Europe (originally)
7,9 & 10 = USA

They lie to the Australian public.

If The Mechanic didn't start threads based on lies, he wouldn't start threads at all.

I wonder how much it costs to run his favourite channel - 7 Mate.

Television/Media is really the realm of Oceania and its bias towards Europe, Asia & Africa as a priority more than Australia, Namerica, Middle-East & Samerica.

Lets face it. The Media/TV is 'un-Australian', just as Trump is showing the world how 'un-American' it has been all along.

The money doesn't concern me.
But the indoctrination is appalling.
The ABC and the universities are reprehensible organisations.
There is talk that Shakespeare , Milton and Chaucer should be removed from university English courses as they represent colonialism and white privilege .

With so much very dangerous leftard ideology, the last thing we need is an openly Marxist and post modern media outlet doing further damage to the population.

A reprehensible and malevolent hotbed of resentful Marxists.

Appalling organisation

They should sell it off before it becomes obsolete.

Then I suggest you do something you almost always fail to do and prove the claims incorrect.  Funny you never notice anything wrong with Green-ALP "facts"...

tickleandrose wrote on Jun 26^th, 2018 at 9:26am:

Firstly it isn't balanced nor is SBS.  Unless of course you count the childrens programs and purely entertainment shows like the drama series or movies it shows.

Any political commentary panel show current affairs program etc has a distinct progressive Left lean.  Denial of that FACT is simply denial.

Ahhh kicking the ABC the usual conservative go to, when they have nothing positive to do or say.

Australia had always been a slight left leaning socialist democracy with constitutional monarch on the background.  Look at historic models of funding for education, health, welfare would show you that.  When PM Abbott, and treasurer Hockey tried a more right leaning brand of governance.  Not only he was not able to get any measures through, he was promptly voted out by his own party.

You don't like the ABC, yet you watch it every night.

Interesting.

i most certainly DIDNT watch it.
but i like to keep informed of the dark forces at work in society so i can help guide people away from them.
and i saw on the TV guide that 4 corners were doing a show on youth detention.

yet another case of people being "oppressed by the patriachy"

HAS ANYONE SEEN THIS ON THE ABC/?

WARNING: Confronting.
ROEBOURNE, Western Australia, is in the grip of a paedophile epidemic that has seen such a high incidence that child sex abuse is “normal”.
Police have charged 36 men with more than 300 offences against 184 children from Roeburne and surrounding communities.
West Australian Police Commissioner Karl O’Callaghan has described the rate of alleged child sex offending in Roebourne as “staggering” and the problem as “a cancer”.
The former gold rush town, which has a greater population of around 1400, lies in the Pilbara region 1500km north of Perth.
The Pilbara, with vast mining resources and sparsely populated Aboriginal towns, covers 500,000 square kilometres stretching from the Indian Ocean to Central Australia.
Roebourne, where the streets are lined with brick and stone colonial buildings, has dwindled since its 19th century boom as the largest settlement between Darwin and Perth.
It has now been singled out as a festering mess of intergenerational child sexual abuse where kids are more li

of course i am.
i dont need to be exposed to these toxic stories to know that they are toxic.

every 4 corners is designed to destroy australian interest.
whether its anti coal or anti cattle exports or anti bank or anti the church or anti law enforcement  or anti australia day or anti military

its all about tearing down and destroying .

i want my national broadcaster to showcase the wonderful australian society to the world
i want it to be a vehicle of persuading tourists to come here and people to want to invest here .

it should be proudly patriotic

No. No you're not.

Prime Minister for Canyons wrote on Jun 26^th, 2018 at 11:02am:



people need an inspiring positive narrative to bravely "move forward".
this is just to take the initial steps on "the narrow road to success"

if you watch the ABC "weepies", nearly every story is designed to give you an emotional state crash.
after watching an hour of  inspirational TV, you may come away centred and ready to move forward with bravery.

but after watching an hour of the ABC you probably come away anxious, irritable, frightened, startled, with a blood chemistry of cortisol and you feel off.

now if thats YOU, if you vibe with toxic negativity and victim stories and the cry baby narrative and you vibe with failure, you'll be addicted to the ABC.

but i wouldnt watch it.

i wouldnt do that to my brain.

your brain needs to be nurtured and fed the good stuff.

Prime Minister for Canyons wrote on Jun 26^th, 2018 at 11:12am:


are you saying that you would come away from watching 4 corners do a story on live animal exports in the same emotional state as you would come away from watching a story on the marvels of the barrier reef?

see, you are addicted to the bad stuff.

just like the ABC.

if they did a story on the barrier reef, it would be on coral bleaching or the like and it would be designed to suck in all the people who like to feel "sad and full of doom and gloom".

this is a real phenomenom.

a leftie lecturer  at my neices uni told the class they should only have 1 kid maybe, to try to save the planet.

infecting kids with doom and gloom and toxic negativity.  reprehensible

I call complete and utter BS on this anecdote.

aquascoot wrote on Jun 26^th, 2018 at 11:09am:

Whoa!  That is so true! I have noticed this change in my own mentality having been practically glued to the News24 set since 2013-07-19 when Rudd announced his brand new offshore detention policy.  Back then I was quite sucked in by the propaganda and used to hum the ABC News theme tune in the shower without thinking.

BAA-baa-Baa!
aquascoot wrote on Jun 26^th, 2018 at 11:09am:

My brain needs to be fed true stuff.  The only good I get from ABC24 is to better understand what goes on in the minds of the indoctrinated ones in the street now.  Then, when I am forewarned of what rubbish they've been fed by the ABC, whether directly or by the 'trickle-down' effect, I can relate better to their madness. 

Unfortunately, as you have alluded to, there has been a significant increase in hatred in our communities over this decade, noticably exaccerbated since John Barron's sweetheart lost the last US election.  You have helped me to understand why this may be, because I know the feeling of anger and hopelessness that watching too much ABC24 provides.

Like the British BBC the Australian ABC is a Marxist shite spreading machine manned by self-serving champagne socialists feeding from the taxpayer's tit........the original purpose of an unbiased and honest news source for the population NEVER materialised.

Sell it off, or close it down.......preferably the former so that the taxpayer can recover some the vast amounts wasted...

Have a look right now at ABC24 Bojack.  It's happening.

Did you see that last interview?  Did you listen to Amanda Ridgeworth (if that's correct spelling)?

Have you ever been what you call a rightard before, Bojack?  Have you ever crossed over to the other side?

Prime Minister for Canyons wrote on Jun 26^th, 2018 at 2:22pm:

Don't you mean 'leftard'?  It still doesn't make any real sense.  When did you last vote Liberal?  Simple.

Just watched the Media Watch on iView. Chris Mitchell from the Oz made some excellent points about the ABC which I do agree with.

Prime Minister for Canyons wrote on Jun 26^th, 2018 at 2:45pm:

Maybe there are people who watch the commercial news and see some kind of contrast with the ABC style.  I wouldn't know.  I haven't watched commerical news on tv this century.

PS:  I don't consider SBS commercial, even though they are plagued with them.

Prime Minister for Canyons wrote on Jun 26^th, 2018 at 2:49pm:

Perhaps you could reiterate then.  I thought you meant that people who watch the commercials only see the ABC as biased because it is different to what they know.  That excludes me.

I think I'm going to have to treat you like a 3 yr old and explain it carefully and slowly. My point is that perhaps the journos who lean left look at say 60 minutes or Sunday night and think its not really serious hard hitting journalism, and think that the ABC is the last place for it, regardless of bias.

PS:  Also thank you very much for helping to clear up the dissonance that Bojack put in my mind over his 'swinging voter' comment.  Disingenuous is a perfect word.

Poor, poor, Geoff.  Amazing how willing he was once to overlook how few members the PHONies once had - three - Pauline and the two Davids.  Pauline and Ettridge went to prison over that little fraud.   They claimed they had 500 members.  They didn't, not in Pauline Hanson's One Nation Party.   Now he's all hot under the collar about the NSW Democrats.   Tsk, tsk, hey?
