ttbn after my time in the spelling paddock I made promises to my self on returning to this track, be nice, contribute to all threads,expect other opinions will be different, even at times as weird as they will find mine, my contribution to this thread is over, see to continue would breach all my self imposed rules, and in the end we both would be upset, enjoy.

There is definitely a place for a commercial free public broadcaster like the ABC is supposed to be. An unbiased one would suffice.

Aidan,

Your opening remarks show your own lack of comprehension, you querulous goat. But I doubt that anyone could be less interested in the rubbish you spout than I am, you poor silly thing.

Yuyutsu,

There would be a problem with radio. So, it’s back to handing it over to the staff, although I doubt that they could make a dollar for themselves in the private, competitive market.

Belly,

It’s OK for you to chicken out, but please don’t do it on my behalf. I never said or thought the ABC news was skewed. It is pretty hard to misreport news when other media is also reporting it. I mean things like 4 Corners, Q & A, The Drum and all political comment; as well as the grossly ignorant ramblings of people like their ‘economics editor’, whose only qualification for the job is a basic BA with a major in Italian, which she probably just scraped through because she is Italian!

ttbn,
Not inferring things that were never implied doesn't equate to a lack of comprehension.

If you ever understand and accept that, I expect your own comprehension to increase enormously.

things like 4 Corners, Q & A, The Drum and all political comment,
ttbn,
Q&A in my opinion is the most biased ABC programme. Tony Jones at times tries to put on a show of getting up the odd ALP pollie put it comes through as just some poorly rehearsed act.

individual,

Yes. Tony Jones is a disgrace, butting in and interrupting all of the few guests who have even a smidgen of conservatism about them. Haven’t watched it for a long, long time, and never will again.
