After many years of exclusive ABC watching my TV & radio dial were rusted onto the ABC. When even Catylist became a left political bit of bumph I finally bought a tin of WD40 & rid myself of the rubbish.

Then the ABC made itself totally useless by abandoning all the great documentaries that had previously aired, letting them go to SBS. I guess they needed to save the cost of the documentaries to overpay the dreadful talking heads, or the infantile stuff they serve up as comedy.

I will admit to having sunk back occasionally to try Catalyst, & was a confirmed Red Dwarf fan before the reruns were again axed in favor of more rubbish, so I am again repulsed. I have given up entirely, only a fool bashes their head continually, when there is no hope of recovery.

SBS now air some decent stuff, an obviously successful template for ant worthwhile future for the ABC. You still can't trust their news & current affair offerings not to indulge in propaganda for the left, but it is much subdued with their need for ratings.

I do find it disgusting that so much tax parer money is wasted on the smug self satisfied ignoramus people who are the majority of their talking heads.

mhaze,

Awww, you've brought up assumptions?

Of course they blur our vision from seeing
things. Try questioning your core beliefs,
dogmas, ideals, that's where the
rock-solid assumptions lie hidden.
Especially in your case - concerning the ABC.

Foxy,

Have you noticed that generally it is the educated who support the ABC and the ignorant who want it removed?

For example, Arts graduates will watch the ABC but injunears will not watch it. Reason: Arts graduates are educated whereas injunears are just vocationally trained. Ask shifty&shadyminister, who has three vocational degrees but not a single scholarly degree . . . . . . like I said IGNORANT.

"Awww, you've brought up assumptions?"

Well in the interests of helping you keep track of the conversation I should remind you that YOU bought up assumptions. I merely pointed out that, as is usually the case, your assumptions were utterly wrong.

mhaze,

Lose the fear of being wrong.
It's a learning opportunity.
Besides, I prefer being wrong in my own way
to being right in yours.

Cheers.

Don't overdo it Foxy. You are not a nice person, and I assure you, you can think what you like about me. Unlike needy you, I'm very much OK with myself, and that's all that matters with me. People who care what others think of them are weak.
