Charlottesville, guns, Trump-phobia and 'Their ABC’s groupthink' : Comments

By Laurence Maher, published 6/3/2020

Readers who are regular viewers of ABC TV news will not need to be reminded that recently the national broadcaster began skiting about how much smarter it is than all us plebs and plodders.

It is hard to believe, but I'm starting to think that it is actually possible that SR really does believe most of the garbage he posts on hear.

It really does prove that a good command of the language does
not in any way indicate there is any intelligence in those that have it.

SR,

Oh dear.

"If there is [a single substantive point] I'm struggling to find it."

Well yes SR. I think I've pointed out before that you often miss the substance of an issue, concentrating on the piffle on the periphery instead.

But my post had enough substance to blow-up your shtick about ABC's bias inquiries. Can't ran away from that fast enough, n'est pas?

Oh, and I did ask for examples of right-leaning TV presenters to offset the myriad left-leaning presenters. Another substantive issue you're struggling to see?

Oh and perhaps we can ask about all the movement between ABC staff and Labor pollies and staff - leave the ABc to join the ALP, leave the ALP to join the ABC, inter-marriage between the two. No real examples of similar things vis-a-vis the Libs?

Oh and while we're talking substance, I never said "'oh they all vote Green'". And I did point out that the surveys were less than convincing, merely indicative.

Its little wonder, SR, that you've been so wrong on so much over the past coupla years - Trump, Warren, Russian collusion etc etc etc - if you don't understand that the ABC is offering you highly filtered information. GIGO in spades.

SOL today Alan.

Perhaps you should back out now before you asphyxiate.

All very interesting, but nothing new here.
I'm one of the seventy five percent of the population which has zero to nothing to do with the ABC. And live very happily in that broad groove.

Its only the regressives who oppose the abc having to pay its way. If it operated in the real world it would have far less than their decreasing supporters. Good socialist always spend workers money to push their putried Marxism. Morrison needs to get some courage and do what needs to be done. Surely he should of learn't you can't appease Marxist who push their dogmas despite all facts saying otherwise.

Dear mhaze,

Mate, you really need to move on. Repeating the times you have gotten yourself completely cleaned up can't be good for the soul.

Now you are trotting out tripe like this;

"Oh and perhaps we can ask about all the movement between ABC staff and Labor pollies and staff - leave the ABc to join the ALP, leave the ALP to join the ABC, inter-marriage between the two. No real examples of similar things vis-a-vis the Libs?"

For God's sake, right wing government after right wing government have stacked the ABC board with either Liberal party sycophants like Michael Kroger or hard right caricatures like Keith Windscuttle or Janet Albrechtsen.

Former chair of the ABC Justine Milne, past business partner of Turnbull, told the MD to sack a journalist who criticised the government.

It was John Howard who abolished the staff position of the board.

And you have the gall to say your side of politics are hard done by?

Grow up.
