The ABC may be willing to present Economically Conservative views in an unbiased way but not Socially Conservative views. There are strategies that can be used in panels. Mostly on Q&A for example the audience is often packed with immigrants. Not representative of the Australian population- it biases the debate. If Q&A's audience was representative there would probably be a riot in the auditorium.

Same Sex Marriage is a Socially Progressive Policy even if Tim Wilson is Economically Conservative. The Institute Of Public Affairs appear to represent Free Traders (just like Malcolm Turnbull)- Economically Conservative but generally Socially Progressive/ Agnostic, Globalist.

The Socialist Left Progressives (Economically and Socially Progressive) push identity issues because it suits their power strategy- Trotskyism (Globalist Socialists). Greens are extreme progressives- Labor are also extreme progressives as can be seen in state Labor governments.

There are also people that are Conservative Socially and Economically such as Peter Dutton. And a very few that are Conservative Socially but Economically Progressive.

There is also the Globalist / Localist political continuum.

When the landscape is viewed by those that set the agenda in a narrow Left Right perspective it neglects the "Socially Conservative Localist" viewpoint.

Canem Malum,
Yes, this is a hit-the-nail-on-the-head statement.

Not quite accurate. Not by a long shot.

The ABC has always provided various
viewpoints.

Programs like Media Watch - have covered all
aspects and provided a balanced critical view of what is being
offered to the public. They have criticised all inaccurate
reporting based on fact-checks, and evidence.

Also - the audience in Q&A is very representative of the
Australian communities. From people that make up the diversity
of today's Modern Australia - including the younger generation
of students - being able to share panels with politicians
from all the political parties and holding them to account.

The forum's panelists have included people of varying and
opposing viewpoints. This has been a very important feature of
the program. Where diversity of opinions has been key.

It is for that reason that those who don't like opinions that
disagree with their own rigid, stereotypical and narrow
points of view want funding to the ABC cut. Luckily most
Australians don't think that spending 4 cents a day from each
taxpayer - is a bargain for the quality that we get.

Four Corners as well - has even featured people like Steve
Bannon.

So all in all - the ABC has provided us with a steady stream
of programs that cannot be criticised for being "biased,"
and they are - simply because of the balanced nature of their
programming - by people who just don't like the different
viewpoints (from their own) that are being presented.

Much more balanced to watch sky after dark than those nasty men hating feminist that appear nightly on the abc. The inconvenient truth is that they are the true bullies. Sure all thew lesbians and women who love to wear the pants back the billion dollar a year tax payer funded propaganda. I mean how could a lovely feminist ever be the bully?

Sky News was forced to apologise after hosting criminal
Blair Cottrell (Cottrell had previously gained infamy for a
mock beheading outside a mosque). The far right extremist
was the first convicted under racial vilification laws.
Sponsors such as Huggies, Specsavers, Virgin, Amex- all
dropped their sponsorships of Sky News.

Talking about females and bullying - we also have Sky News
having to apologise to Greens Senator - Sarah Hanson-Young
after they broadcast the "appaling comments" made by
Liberal Democrats David Leyonhjelm during a Sunday morning
political commentary program with Sky News hosts -
Rowan Dean and Ross Cameron.

So much for replacing the ABC with Sky News?

' Blair Cottrell (Cottrell had previously gained infamy for a
mock beheading outside a mosque). The far right extremist

Yep Foxy the corporate bullies shutting up free speach.Then again when the abc had Blair Cottrell on their was silence. Or is their 2 Blair Cottrell's. Sheer hypocrisy.
