Interesting that of the seven articles referenced by cohenite, six were written by choenite.
Back to the topic, and I agree that the ABC is in need of a major overhaul. Too much of one voice singing from the same song-sheet there.
But to trash it altogether might be foolish. The Murdoch press also needs a contrary voice. Otherwise we might end up with a cohenite quoting him(her?)self and passing that off as gospel.
Not so dissimilar to the self enforcing cabal doing their thing on the ABC.
To their credit, at least those spruiking their opinions on the ABC use their real names, thereby opening themselves up to review and criticism.

lol the only post that has the touch of reality is "Is Mise" .

Yes why don't we just sell it off to Murdoch?

Then Murdoch can get the ABC to produce some real shows like fat people losing weight, cooking competitions, singing competitions, dancing competitions. The australian public is entitled to the real fair balanced news from Fox. What but a diet of trash does our privately owned media serve.

The duplicity and mendacity of our looming culture as exampled here by posters calling for the destruction of the ABC puts into question far more than their economic ideology of this vandalism.

Exactly what kind of trashy mono-culture is the end goal here? Here is one entity that on occassion has the audacity to question, criticise the overwhelmingly dominant economic rationalist doctrine sung in concert from every private radio station, every newspaper, every private TV station. Just this one voice and so many would choose to destroy it.

A malignant sickness has attached itself to australian culture - its trajectory can be tracked and traced, every foundation of civility and fairness is being discarded as a petty nuisance, one step at a time, to be replaced by an adolescent naive hubris, supported by an ideology of pure myth and rapacity.

"touch of reality"

That's true cobber old mutt because you're obviously not real. And I agree with Mise, Thomas is the only thing worthwhile on the ABC; but at $1.2 billion PA I'm sure you could build Thomas and all of his mates and have them running around the nation non-stop; money much better spent then on the pack of grizzling, vain wannabes at the ABC.

Halduell, I wasn't referencing myself; I was referencing papers for and against AGW. Fair dinkum. And I have to reference other sites because the ABC will now no longer publish any article by anyone sceptical of AGW.

No, it's all boat people, gay marriage, how wonderful Islam is and how AGW is going to blow up the world at the ABC. I've said it before and I'll say it again if lefties like this author want the wretched ABC then let her and the rest of the pretentious twits pay for it.

Jardine if you believe anything these days whether it is left, right, in the middle, or anywhere else then I suggest that you create your own news bulletin for us plebs, then at least we will have someone who we can trust. Jardine please take your blinkers off and get in the real world of lies, lies, and more lies, just to keep the masses quiet, perhaps we should have more street demonstrations to show that we care about the lies that are being shoved down our throats by our so called democratic Governments.

You are only spouting ideology.
