Considering that only the far left whingers think that the ABC is unbiased, I think that pretty much settles it.

Poirot,
From your view point 90% of people are far right wing. Posted by Shadow Minister, Thursday, 9 July 2015 9:47:38 PM

Dear Shadow Minister,
It may surprise you to learn that most people are neither far Left or far Right - but somewhere in the middle, depending on the issues. And even in the most extreme cases - people can surprise us, as history has shown. Very few people have their views set in concrete - and can change their minds depending on the circumstances. But then that is something you should know. Posted by Foxy, Thursday, 9 July 2015 10:05:18 PM

I found this on the web - and I think it sums
things up rather well: "The problem for the advocates of "greater balance" is that you can only stop the ABC being "objectively" on thing by making it "determinedly" something else, and to do this would undermine the National Broadcaster's independence and integrity. Imagine an ABC that told its journalists not only what kind of stories to pursue but also what kind of assumptions and values to engage when they caught up to them." We already have that in our commercial media. Posted by Foxy, Thursday, 9 July 2015 10:25:58 PM

Step it up, SM.
According to you "90%" of Australians support anything you happen to support...you're great at inventing such figures. But what's this? http://www.smh.com.au/federal-politics/political-news/voters-in-blueribbon-liberal-seats-strongly-support-abc-20150705-gi5eaq.html "Voters living in electorates held by some of the Abbott government's most prominent ministers support the ABC so strongly they would vote to change the constitution to protect it from political interference, new polling shows. Voters in these Liberal seats are pretty clear whose side they're on: the ABC's The polling shows a majority of voters in the seats held by Communications Minister Malcolm Turnbull, Treasurer Joe Hockey and Education Minister Christopher Pyne would support including the functions of the ABC in the constitution to ensure its independence from government." So it seems that poor old SM, being of definite rabid right-wing leaning and neoliberal bent is actually in the minority amongst solid traditional Liberal voters.
