runner,

My judgements are not in question here. It's
Barnaby's actions that are. And by them shall
he be judged.

I wonder what Bill Shorten's first wife thinks of him Foxy? Oh thats right just like the abc its about sides for you.

runner,

Bill Shorten's first wife has never publicly criticised
her ex-husband unlike Barnaby's wife and daughters.
As for taking sides. No. You've got that wrong as well.
Unlike you - I don't do that. I don't need to. The facts
are there for all to see.

ever considered Foxy that it largely who the media target that determines what is publicly declared. Just a thought! Remember your abc spending a week on Abbott punching the air 40 odd years ago. The facts are not out there for all to see unless one searches a little further than fake news.

runner,

That's why the ABC is so important - with programs
like "Media Watch" and "Four Corners," that expose
the fake news to us all. And also programs like
Q&A that give voters the avvbility to hold politicians
to account.

It seems that you are arguing against yourself - if you
truly believe in good media - then you can't possibly
be against the ABC. That's not logical.

There's that old "leftist bias" myth again.

I recall the ABC broadcasting a comedy show portraying Julia Gillard as a bogan PM, having sex in the Prime Miniterial office under the Australian flag.

Then, when The Drum was an open forum, Annabelle Crab published no less that 16 consecutive aricles that were strongly pro-Abbott and in favour of the Liberal Party, much to the annoyance of contributors.
Even the broadcast version now provides a free forum for people like the IPA to put their views.

Keating, Hawke and even Wran had anti-Labor bias issues with the ABC and deliberately avoided speaking to them during their respective terms as leaders.

I could give many more examples but just those few don't seem too "leftist" to me.

The truth is that some people don't want to hear anything that contradicts their own prejudices but also don't want anybody else to hear them either. When you're so far to the Right, everything else has to be "left".

The rest of the media provides more than enough "Rightist bias" for their eager consumption.

I suppose they'll now accuse Murdoch of being "left" now that his role in dumping Turnbull has been publicly stated, not to mention other "lefties" like Alan Jones, Bolt and Hadley who all played their part too.
