Frank doesn't read "news", Greg. He's most often surprised by it when it comes across him. What Frank does is ingest the opinion pieces of bloated, supercilious, entitled old white guys who are salty because everyone isn't white and it isn't 1960 anymore.

Frank reads these pieces (and unkindly shares them with us in lieu of establishing an argument outside of petty putdowns) so he can congratulate himself on agreeing with someone slightly more relevant than him. Loud "hear, hears" must be heard by Mrs. Frank in the kitchen when the latest Spectator opinion piece lands in the old boy's inbox. And Frank can congratulate himself for being right all along ... as a miserable old bigoted misanthrope.

He's not alone.

And this is why he's so excited about Trump. Tell him something just awful and arguably illegal Trump did; show him the footage, quote him the text, give it to him in Trump's own words and he'll call you a whole bunch of names, liar the most telling. He doesn't care. What he cares about is that Trump shares his prejudices and is acting on them.

That's all it takes.

So news? To Frank?

Inconsequential.

As for me ... i , like Setanta get my news from varied sources but if i'm researching something and there's an ABC link to the subject, i'll most definitely check that out first.

I trust the ABC over any other mainstream source in this country. So do the overwhelming number of Australians. Most trusted news media, consistently.

Thanks, Aunty.

Let the midnight special... shine her light on Frank..

I know - you don't come here to genuinely discuss issues - you come here for the slagging.

"So do the overwhelming number of Australians." What? Consistently biased information from bloated, sappy, blue-haired, misogynistic, feministed, partially educated, chosen for their ideological purity to the 'Party' of social disruptors, minority groupies, and run by a bunch of dorks who've never seen the inside of a real life 'out there' in the essential Mau Mau Country of them mean streets - streets made meaner by their silly adherence to strands of 'radical' madness that, all taken together, lead to the disruption and eventual destruction of the culture and society of this country? Jeez - even the ABC boss is a Marx, just not Groucho and co.

Schoolkids who've rarely set foot on the pavements of life, yet feel they have a Birthright and a Divine Right to preach to all others?

"bloated, supercilious, entitled old white guys who are salty because everyone isn't white and it isn't 1960 anymore." Now that is the most ridiculous and unfounded comment ever posted here... so biased and unprovable that it is simply beyond words.... ageist, racist, misandrist and full of the most amazing assumptions about people.

You're a Nazi, aren't you? Get zem all on zer trains - RAUS!!

Frankly, mothra - the more you go on the more we all know you're a lunatic with about zero real knowledge of anything.

Overall, we rate ABC News Australia as left-center Biased based on story selection that moderately favors the left and High for factual reporting due to proper sourcing and being a certified fact-checker.

The ABC has an obvious, evident lefty bias. It is not disputed even by its own journalists and staff, let alone its audience. It is boring and predictable in its treatmen of politics and society and culture. There is no lively debate, there is no smart debate, there is no counter-argument to the lefty bien pensant orthodoxies.

"bloated, supercilious, entitled old white guys who are salty because everyone isn't white and it isn't 1960 anymore."

This hilarious comment lead me to wonder exactly which 'culture' mothra and the ABC chodes would prefer to live under......

Indonesian?

Malaysian?

Indian?

Chinese?

Pakistani?

Afghan?

African?

Gazan?

Syrian?

Russian?

Lebanese?

North Korean?

Central American?

South American?

Saudi?

Iranian?

Maori?

Aborigine?

You know the list by now... funny thing is - ALL the cultures in which mothra would be able to do the things 'she' claims to be doing, and make the utterances 'she' does - are the cultures of 'old white guys', who built them from the dust and mud, and installed the standards 'she' enjoys, and defend and protect them.

Those other cultures would whip, stone, throw acid in the face of, hang, behead, machete to death, shoot, club to death, stab, spear, literally skin alive, or imprison in a dank dungeon (just for starters) each and every one of those blue-haired, lithpy, whining, 'woke', outspoken 'men' and women dressed like whores etc, characters from the ABC - and the likes of mothra. ... and yet these chodes claim to love those cultures over their own.

It's a form of mental illness.

**mothra I refer to as 'she' because 'she' is an internet persona - meaning not necessarily what 'she' claims to be.

Look at that article Brian posted about some 'truth-telling' adventure down Victoria way.

According to the written records, there was only one survivor of a reprisal raid following the deaths of at least five settlers by treachery and ambush using greater numbers - one left to tell the tale and thus warn the others to behave - and yet somehow - we are supposed to accept a Chinese whisper passed down from 'one survivor' to others, and then on to others, across a bridge of 180 years with countless permutations along the way - as absolute and undeniable truth.

The way the ABC posited this incident - it's a crime against Aborigines - but the killing of Whites by Aborigines is not a crime, so is ignored.

If that doesn't show a near maniacal bias, what does?

Israel isn't bombing 'Hezbollah', they're bombing LEBANON. Hezbollah is just a political party that forms part of the Lebanese govt. Hezbollah doesn't even hold the majority of power with only 19 seats out of a possible 99.

I agree the ABC stuffed up, they should have called Dutton out on his claim the Israel is bombing Hezbollah

Bollocks they're just a Political Party - they are also an Iranian funded terrorist organisation - just like Hamas.

Quote:

More than 60 other countries and organizations, including the EU, the Arab League, and the Gulf Cooperation Council, have also designated Hizballah—either in part or in its entirety—as a terrorist group

LOL

Dutton gave a good ol' smack-down to an ABC "Journalist" ...

PETER DUTTON AND ABC JOURNALIST'S STOUSH IN FULL

Reporter: With Hezbollah you're saying being responsible for the deaths of women and children, groups have commented on the hypocrisy of that situation because there are no bans currently on Israeli flags being raised, despite 45,000 people dying at the hands of the Israeli government.

Dutton: Israel is a democracy. It's not run by a terrorist organisation. Hezbollah is a terrorist organisation, they’re a listed terrorist organisation and if people are in favour of a terrorist organisation they should declare it and authorities can deal with them.

Reporter: And if not the number of deaths, what determines.... What determines the fact that Hezbollah is a terrorist organisation even though-?

Dutton: Where are you from, I'm sorry? Which organisation?

Reporter: Um, ABC.

Dutton: ABC. So what's the question from the ABC just to be very clear?

Reporter: I just wanted to find out because groups have commented...

Dutton: No, no. But you asked about the listing of the organisation. I just didn't understand that question I'm sorry.

Reporter: Ah, yep. So, ah.

Dutton: This is a question from Canberra is it? You're reading it from a phone?

Reporter: Ah, no. So ah. Just wanted to ask in terms of, ah, looking into that for the investigation, you've asked the Prime Minister and the minister (Tony Burke) to direct the AFP in its investigation.

Dutton: No. That wasn't the question you asked. What was the question you asked?

Reporter: I just wanted to understand.

Dutton: No, you asked a question about the listing so just ask that question again.

Reporter: So if you could sort of explain what determines something as a terrorist organisation?

Dutton: Well I had presumed up until this point at least the ABC supported the government's laws. And the government has passed laws, supported on a bipartisan basis, but not by the ABC it seems, in relation to the prescribing or the listing of a terrorist organisation. Hezbollah under Australian law is a listed terrorist organisation. Now if the ABC doesn't support that they should be very clear about it because I think that's quite a departure.

Reporter: That's not what I'm ...

Dutton: But you asked me why the country has listed Hezbollah. They're a terrorist organisation. They're organise terrorist attacks and if that is not clear to the ABC, then I think the ABC is in greater trouble than even I first imagined.

Reporter: That wasn’t my question

The scandal is set to engulf the public broadcaster in fresh controversy just days after ABC Chair Kim Williams warned young journalists against taking activist viewpoints on stories.

"Many of our younger journalists have a much more activist view of the role of journalism, and a much more policy-prosecutorial approach to their journalism," he said last week at the 2024 Lowy Institute Media Award Dinner.

"And I’m sure that any of the editors in the room would readily confirm what I am saying.

"In the case of the ABC, that is simply not available to those journalists. And not only is it to be discouraged, it is to be ardently opposed," Mr Williams said.

Hezbollah’s External Security Organisation was officially designated as a terrorist organisation by the Australian government during the Howard administration.

The United States and European Union have both also deemed the armed wing of Hezbollah as a terrorist organisation.

Hezbollah has engaged in various terrorist activities, including abductions, suicide bombings, car bombings, political assassinations and rocket attacks.

Iran has been funded most of Hezbollah’s activities, while the group also receives funding from criminal enterprises and Lebanese diaspora.

Additionally, Hezbollah has been implicated in planning terrorist operations and providing support to other terror groups, including assistance to Palestinian Islamic Jihad and Hamas.

https://www.skynews.com.au/australia-news/politics/opposition-leader-peter-dutto...

Do we know the reporters name?

They clearly need performance management.

The ABC said an exchange between a female reporter and Peter Dutton was “not a piece of reporting” or a position taken by the ABC after she asked him to explain why Hezbollah was a terrorist organisation and Israeli flags were not banned.

At a tense lunchtime press conference on Tuesday, ABC reporter Anushri Sood....

Quote:

Mediadiversityau - We are very proud to share that one of our Woman Of Colour Mentorship graduates, Anushri Sood, has produced a TV segment that will air tonight on Channel Nine’s Under Investigation.

Another diversity hire & true to her format articles on that drug crazed phuk at Yuendemu who stabbed 2 coppers before he was shot dead in self defence.

Casting doubt over the copper who was found not guilty of murder after the investigation but not before his own boss & the Labor Minister threw him under the bus.

The amount of endless repeats they show is a issue!

Seen it once watch it every night at the same time for 3 months.

Truly is Australia that devoid of talent?

If they can’t afford pay for new content just go back to the old test screen?
