it was noticibly racist.
Bazz,
That's been going on for a very long time but recently, it started to get rather blatant !
On one hand they bleat about stamping out racism & on the other hand they do their best to promote it at every turn !
That alone warrants severe cutting of funding to the ABC. Listening to it one can be forgiven to think of it as the Aboriginal Broadcasting Club.

There are two sides to every story. The ABC only ever reports on what suits them at the time consequently several years now and turned off. Was an assett with no advertising but my massive tax funds could certainly be put to better use. Maybe I should turn on again just to check them out.

Talking about 'racism' and aboriginality, I watched on Chanel 7 last night a story, which, according to the blurb, could 'bring down a government'.

A young aboriginal offender was shot, and died, resisting arrest in a NT township. The young police officer was initially cleared of any offence, but the politicians got onto it, and he was charged with murder, after a lot of hallabaloo from the community.

Several officers, including an AC, have resigned from NT police over this matter.

You won't see that on the taxpayers' ABC.

Actually you did see it on the "taxpayer's ABC."

In 2019 - when the incident happened:

Trust in the ABC is not waning. It is one of the most trusted
news sources.

However for some people because the ABC devotes
air time to issues that are largely ignored by other media
be it religion, Feminism, Indigenous issues, Muslim, and other minorities' interests
in doing so the ABC is at odds with these people's beliefs about
Australia for whom Australia is still white, European, Christian,
and of course male.

In their minds this is bias. But is it bias or a reflection of
the modern reality of Australia, warts and all.

There are folk whose political beliefs are so far to the right
that just about all of Australia, and most of the world is to
the left, and any media that reflects this reality is necessarily
left-wing and biased.

On the whole Australia's mix of public service and commercial media
serves our social entertainment and political needs well.
Diverse, accurate and informed media is a cornerstone of our
democratic process because choice only means choice when we
know the alternatives.

When media content is driven only by entertainment values and
profitability, not to mention the influence of large advertisers,
alternative voices are not encouraged.

Public service broadcasting ABC and SBS is vital to providing
alternative ideas and understandings. Without alternative ideas
or political parties we don't have democracy.

Foxy,

Still stalking and pontificating on everything.

"Actually you did (NOT) see it on the "taxpayer's ABC." I do NOT watch any current affairs/documentaries on the ABC. And, your reference is to an online text report, not TV.

But you don’t care about that, of course, not being interested in facts, truth or anything but Marxist ideology.

You are one of "the hard-headed (some would say boneheaded) Leftists, who need to be told what to think, and who will always try to defend the indefensible;" I referred to in my post 23/10.

Even though the well-known, reliable and professional Roy Morgan organisation (unlike you) has found that the ABC has dropped from number 5 to number 19 in trust, you still howl that "Trust in the ABC is not waning. It is one of the most trusted news sources".

If that's not ignorant, bigoted, ideological nonsense, I'll eat all the hats on my hatstand.

You are a very silly and naive woman, Foxy, whom I have decided to ignore, along with your Green boyfriend. But, in this instance, your failings were just too outrageous to let go.
