Josephus,

In Australia we still have dissenting voices that
speak out at the attempts by the Right-wing to
silence different views from their own. Like cuts
to our national broadcaster - the ABC, like the
overt bias and lies of News Corp media. We still have
voices standing up to these kind of attempts. And this
is not about to end any time soon - not while rational
thinking people exist here.

Not so sure about the mess that the US has been placed in
due to the obnoxious jerk they have as President. Hopefully
things will be able to get back to normal under the new
President elect.

And who knows - when Murdoch dies (he's getting on in years)
maybe his tentacle hold on our media will be lessened also.

Foxy, the ABC was once a reliable source of news and current affairs but is has now become a political opinion discussion forum. It is a public broadcaster paid for by public money and has a responsibility to be politically unbiased.

It has become unbalanced and political which appears to be a deliberate agenda to influence opinion rather than relate facts. It was acting the same way as commercial broadcasters with political agendas. The fact is the Great Reset agenda is happening in the Western education Departments and Universities.

ABC does not need so much public funding to survive.

Only the whinging left have no faith in the power of ideas to generate a paying audience.

Like the humanities academics, they prefer to rely on govt handouts for their actual existence.

"Kevin Rudd is likely to be urged by federal officials to register as an agent of foreign influence because of his vast overseas connections and ongoing involvement in international relations.
The former prime minister has asked the Attorney-General’s Department whether he needs to join the foreign influence transparency scheme’s public register because he leads a host of inter­national bodies and forums, most of them based in the US and one backed by a Chinese company.
A spokesman for Mr Rudd told The Australian he did not believe he currently had to register because he did not work directly for a foreign government, but Mr Rudd was willing to sign up if he was ­advised to do so by Canberra."

Kevin Rudd or Donald Trump, who is worse?

Foxy,

The attempts to silence dissent comes overwhelmingly from the left as this thread amply demonstrates. There is more left whinge leaning media outlets than conservative. That the left-leaning media outlets are no more bias-free or factually correct than NewsCorp has been verified.

Finally, your admission that the ABC is left whinge in spite of its charter to be politically neutral is all the more reason to either overhaul it, defund it or privatise it.
