The ABC showed the stouch between Tuckey and Beazley this afternoon.
It was unedited. The cameras rolled from the minute the car stopped.
Tuckey got stuck into Beazley and stupid Beazley replied.

Both Channel Nine and Seven News tonight showed it EDITED and they both showed that Beazley was the protaganist.
They edited it so that Beazley was the attacker. That is not editing. That is propaganda because that is NOT what happened.?
John Howard would say:
"Who do you trust?'
Well it ain't commercialised, pro-business, pro-Liberal, pro-trash, pro-lies . . . pro-rubbish commercial television from tonight's so-called news.

Thank God for the ABC.

Since when is the ABC the Holy Grail of all things true?Business is not an evil that should be shunned or shamed into damnation.Without business there would be no taxes for the ABC to waste on their egocentric,biased,self indulgent leftest twaddle.

The ABC should not be the mouth piece of the Coalition,but nor should they be the flagship for the Labor Party,which they so often premote in surrepticious,linguistic,innuendo.

What is the Italian definition of an innuendo?ie. in your end doh.
ANS: A suppository.Well the ABC had better learn about unbiased reporting if they want to be taken seriously.

So hard for the ABC to describe the terroist as anything other than 'British home grown' tonight. Why can't they just state what everyone knows. To many minorities to appease I suspect. If the terroist were called 'Christians' their would be a delight in their broadcasting

I recall both Hawke and Keating having complaints about fair coverage on the ABC.
Neville Wran in particular refused to speak to their reporters on a number of occasions.

Very odd behaviour for an allegedly left-wing biased organisation to make so many enemies in the ALP.

Of course we always have the commercial networks to fall back on for truth and honesty in reporting

I love my ABC, Classic FM providing music to enjoy, Triple J catering for the young listeners, National radio keeping us in touch nationally and worldwide, excellent *BBC TV drama productions, intelligent humour shows, informative science programmes, "Australian story" bringing us issues we would not hear of, religous programmes, coverage of local sport, and of course the Para Olympics. Yes give me the ABC before those rediculous American comedy shows and the blood, guts and mayhem programmes, that commercial TV put on.
Yes I am left of centre politically, all due to the past ten years of the erosion of the community spirit in Australia.
So to those who think our excellent national broadcaster is biased, why not stick to cable TV.

* Should, the ABC be properly funded, we would have more Australian drama productions. Instead of the cops and robbers and soapy hospital programmes on commercial stations.

Rache,Hawke and Keating were more right wing.The ABC pander to the left in Labor since it is almost non existant in the Coalition.

Labor are a higher taxing more socialist orientated Govt who will pander to the growth of the public prividged bureauocrats,with money for regulation/impotence and none for infrastucture or wealth for the general population.Just look at what a Labor Govt has done for the people of NSW.

The ABC love Labor because under the Coalition they have had to do more with less,rather than living in their comfort zones of Labor taxes and socialism.

The Coalition are not the answer to all our woes,however they do represent some semblence of discipline and values in our society which is in rapid decay.
