Again Poxy your problems with the truth continue. You can't show that I was referring to you when I supported Silent whisperers statement about scum on OLO. I wasn't even referring to you anyway. I was referring to Jay who is obviously a marginalised person with serious esteem issues.

If you can't tell the truth why should we believe any of your opinions?

I actually think that hardworking, honest refugees have more to offer than creeps like you.

Charming.
So getting back to topic after many derailments from the Race Haters.
Do we really expect "Reality" from a for profit mainstream media?
One way to ensure a diverse range of viewpoints is to expand the not for profit media sector.
As another poster noted the Radio world is alive with challenging and engaging programmes from all sectors of the community.
Internet Radio and podcasting have revolutionised broadcasting in the same way that blogging has done to journalism.
You can literally find any viewpoint and someone to agree with it on the net.
We don't need Murdoch and Fairfax anymore, as the White Nationalists over at Stormfront say: "We are our own media"

Indira Naidoo was such a wonderful newsreader. That new guy on ABC is fantastic and Anton Enus is just amazing.

No respectable person would view the Stormfront website. No normal, well adjusted person would think that a nazi site like Stormfront is any substitute for the Fairfax press or most of the Murdoch Press. Anybody who does just doesn't belong in 21st century Australia.

I understand that there’s a lot of self-flagellation going on in Middle-Eastern countries at the moment about this same issue.
The more enlightened citizenry are complaining that there aren’t enough bland Anglo faces on their television programs.
“We need more hideously white people to reflect our diversity”, they are saying.
It seems that very few of the immigrants and refugees streaming into their country from racist hell-holes like Australia are being represented on the screen.
The media there are ignoring, even demonising, all the people who’ve moved to the Middle-East for a better life, away from the shallow Western lifestyle.
These people have been attracted by the richness of the culture but now find that they are under-represented in the local soap operas.
Some Arab academics put the media’s lack of inclusiveness down to ignorance, as well as fear of the diverse other.
Others more bluntly admit that is an ugly expression of covert and sometimes even overt racism.
Multicultural advocates in the Middle East are complaining that the billions being spent on multicultural awareness grants and programs are insufficient and more funding is required.
They are also calling for legislation mandating the inclusion of more hideously bland white faces on Arabic television.
What is certain is that unless there is more diverse representation of the multicultural other on Middle-Eastern media the problem of the ghettoisation of Western refugees, who have come seeking asylum in the region, will only grow

What a lame attempt at satire.

You should try living in the UK for a while. Theres more diversity in the media over there. Oops what am I saying, you'd have to be able to land a job in London first...

Silent whisperer,

Xenophobia is a very ground of then and for recent Australia, a country established on land-grabbing and luring "lower races" to serve Anglo.
