The ABC spends a lot of time being wrong.

It was wrong with the border force burning boat people, with Emma Alberici's article, Pell, Jacinda Price, Chris Kenny and now looks at being very expensively wrong on Porter.

For supposedly the most trusted media site it screws up seriously and frequently, always attacking conservatives.

Any claim that the ABC is not just a left whinge mouthpiece is usually from left whingers trying to protect their left whinge mouthpiece.

The ABC does not represent Australia only a small section of left whinge elites.

"Where did I say it was biased to the right you muppet?"

Oh it must've been someone else who said the ABC was a government lapdog.

Or perhaps SR suddenly realises he's been cut from the herd and is hurrying to return to the safety of numbers.

Shadowminister,

Just to set the record straight for you:

Dear mhaze,

Just to educate you a lapdog is not a working dog. It might not obey instructions like one and it can get away with being annoying, but it certainly knows who feeds it.

Pretty well fits the bill.

Foxy,

Any survey on reducing spending generally gets a negative response. If you linked it to reduced tax it would give a very different result. The Australia Institute is a left whinge "think tank" and I would take their "surveys" with a pinch of salt.

If the ABC gets hammered by Porter and has to issue a grovelling apology and tons of cash, attitudes will change further.

The vast majority of ABC viewers reside within 5km of the CBDs of the main cities with little to no diversity. The ABC is essentially a vanity project for the greens and Labor that everyone is paying for.
