Did someone mention ABC bias? Lateline? OMG: where to start.

How about with their last limp 'apology':

Well, that really makes up for it doesn't it?

Trouble is, it isn't just ABC. 85% think the media is biased.

And if oz journos ever wondered why they have such a terrible rep internationally, here's the latest YouTube vid doing the rounds on them, on the same topic:

Someone needs ot clean up the media here with a massive big stick.

I totally agree with Foxy. ABC and SBS provide a balanced view as well as engaging in investigative journalism. It appears that some want only the ultra right view to be offered, rather than a balanced view.

Here in Gippsland, ABC Radio is the HQ of the Greens.

Among other blatant bias, they have been playing a filler where noted Greenie Jill Redwood is saying that the Timber Industry should be paying one third of the cost of the de-sal plant. A de-sal that will not produce water for rural atreas but Metro Melbourne only.

Despite sending them my research on global warming, they still follow the Green's line without question.

Gerard Callinan, Station Manager firmly believes that heads, he is right; tails you are wrong.

Pelican is right in the ABC showing 2 sides of a debate, the only trouble is that they are 2 sides of an octagon, & the other 6 sides, that are not the very far left, are never allowed any air time.

Kerry O'Brien & Tony Jones could not reach the middle of the road, with a full size extension ladder, in fact they probably could not even see it from the top of one.

One of these days, someone, on the ABC, will actually say something, that is even approaching the view of the majority of the Oz population, & all the switch boards will trip out in shock

The ABC is required to be unbiased and show an even hand to each side.
However, while doing that they use more subtle ways of achieving their
desired slant.
It is correct it not just the ABC that has its right leg longer than its left.

Now something you may not know. I have a relative that worked for the
ABC for many years and his comment is that there are no gays in the
ABC closet as the closet is full of Liberal voters.
He said that you do not tell anyone that you vote Liberal, newcomers
are warned of this when they start work there, on the quite of course.
Internally it is known as the ABC branch of the Labour Party in a
joking manner, not literally.
I presume this is why Q&A is stacked with labour supporters.

A typical ABC/SBS Easter/Christmas 'Christian' special will be some bloke in a frock or feminist in a suit who claims to represent the church and yet denies the Resurrection. I have no problem with skeptics and earth worshipers denying these events but when they have some liberal homosexual preacher claiming to represent the church then the media outlet is being dishonest. The soft pedaling on Mr Rudd for basically implementing and following Mr Howard's policies is another act of total hypocrisy. Sure Mr Rudd has said sorry and signed the benign Kyoto agreement (symbolic jesters at best) while still rolling out all of Mr Howards policies. If the ABS/SBS was unbiased it would have some balanced scientific debate on global warming. The one special they were forced into showing which at least challenged the well rehearsed dogmas upset many of the 'socialist elite'. They really are disgraceful!
