Title: Why is the ABC so Labor biased?
Post by matty on Jul 5th, 2012 at 10:17pm
Why are pretty much all of the journalists on there so biased towards Labor? The blatant bias by Barrie Cassidy and Kerry O'Brien is just astounding. Tony Jones is less conspicuous, but still clearly biased, as are the guest journalists that they frequently have on there. ABC radio hosts are also very much Labor biased, like Fran Kelly.

In fact, the only fair and balanced hosts on there of any kind, I would say, are Chris Uhlmann and Emma Alberici.

It is because the left wing talking heads cant get paid for poor ratings on a mainstream commercial media.

Left wing newspapers get trounced by non-leftwing media, same as TV.

The only place they can get a job is a media that does it for free and doesnt need a strong audience.

The ABC appears biased in a biased media.

Poor Matty, does not like the truth being told. The ABC are far from labor bias they give Abbott lots of air time so if Abbott looks dumb who's fault is that.

I THOUGHT YOU WERE LEAVING THE COUNTRY, HURRY UP AND PISS OFF NO ONE WANTS YOU IF YOU RUN AWAY FROM THE TOUGH WORK LOOSER.

ABC gives you more of the chance to make up your own mind, they are fairly neutral on most things.
But I have seen them be labor biased, and liberal biased.. So who knows.
If you guys are so right then it shouldn't be a problem letting people make up their own minds.

You seem to think the internet cannot traverse countries. It will be like matty is here in Australia. Nothing will change that screaming of yours. He will be right here in your face.

I think that the question really should be why does matty percieve the ABC as being so biased towards Labor rather than why is the ABC so Labor biased.

It would be interesting to see what facts, if any, matty could come up with to substantiate this recycled opinion.
