The real issue with ABC radio : Comments

By Terry Ryan, published 5/3/2020

Leaving aside the political bickerings of bias, a review should consider whether taxpayers are funding roles that are already adequately provided in the private sector whether commercially or mutually.

Der Diver Dan,

You say; "The ABC is hugely bias."

No it isn't, demonstrably so as it has passed review after review.

Further it is the only news organisation with a decent charter of unbiased reporting in Australia.

If your own bias leads you to disregard the empirical evidence then that is fine, but expect to be called out on it.

If people love it so much they can pay. As for those who hate marxism it is theft to take money from us to allow privileged feminist to tell us how victimised they are. Let them pay for their own crapping on whities and men hating propaganda.

Dear individual,

Sure, here you go.

An audit of Q&A, probably the most often accused of bias by you lot, done by a "non-academic & private enterprise journalist" Ray Martin.

Here is what he said; "Inevitably, when you analyse Q&A over a lengthy period — as we have now done — you come to the conclusion that it is a balanced, entertaining and informative program."

This is the link to the full report.

yes, i agree that ABC is vital.

However, i think it can raise some of its own money through advertising.

IMO, SBS is at least as good as the ABC with regard to tv and relies partly on advertising. I actually watch more SBS than ABC these days.

PBS gets little govt funding, and is also top quality.

My dearest Al.

I'm going to allow a little ABC to seep in here, to support my argument.
The compass survey.
My dot could not be more exactly in the centre. It's probably why I have a shine for Scott Morrison.
I cannot be accused of left or right wing bias.

It's that infuriating excuse of balanced debate called QandA, which ultimately prompted me to abandon all hope for it. The tipping point.

Talk about a totally biased stacking of the odds in favour of a liberal conclusion. A good test for it would be to use its current form of small "l" liberal conclusion, and interview Donald Trump.
Be honest, could you imagine a standard QandA audience sitting respectfully through that?
Obviously the ABC pick their own audience.

Let's have some balance to it. I suggest exactly half the audience are members of the LNP, and the other half Labor.
Not that I'd be encouraged to watch it, since QandA was one huge reason my TV set went airborn out the back door years ago.

SR.
I'm rolling in the aisles again at your suggestion private enterprise media is without bias.
You obviously think we're a bunch of idiots here, but even Forest Gump would disagree with that proposition.

Dan
