In 2021, the 'National Broadcaster', the ABC, is a public relations entity [on behalf of Australian neo-Marxists, and WOKE LEFTISTS],
masquerading as a national news service [in order to maintain its right, of being funded from the public purse].

Not so ?

"If you want a picture of the future, imagine a boot stamping on a human face, forever."
- 1984 - George Orwell


Journalism is printing what someone else does not want printed; everything else is public relations.
- George Orwell


"The further a society drifts from truth the more it will hate those who speak it."
- George Orwell


"In a time of universal deceit, telling the truth is a revolutionary act."
- George Orwell            [even if this quote is mis-attributed to Orwell, the pursuit of truth remains a great virtue]


"If thought corrupts language, language can also corrupt thought."
- George Orwell


"England is perhaps the only great country whose intellectuals are ashamed of their own nationality."
- George Orwell


"I consider that willingness to criticize Russia and Stalin is the test of intellectual honesty."
- George Orwell, to his friend John Middleton Murry, a wartime pacifist


"Nothing is gained by teaching a parrot a new word. What is needed is the right to print what one believes to be true, without having to fear bullying or blackmail from any side."
- George Orwell
ideology vs. truth


"To admit that an opponent might be both honest and intelligent is felt to be intolerable.
It is more immediately satisfying to shout that he is a fool or a scoundrel, or both, than to find out what he is really like."
- George Orwell


"Pacifism is objectively pro-fascist.
This is elementary common sense.
If you hamper the war effort of one side, you automatically help out that of the other.
Nor is there any real way of remaining outside such a war as the present one.
In practice, 'he that is not with me is against me."
- George Orwell.


Power is in tearing human minds to pieces and putting them together again in new shapes of your own choosing.
- George Orwell, 1984


Orthodoxy means not thinking – not needing to think. Orthodoxy is unconsciousness.
- George Orwell, 1984


“Power is not a means; it is an end.
One does not establish a dictatorship in order to safeguard a revolution; one makes the revolution in order to establish the dictatorship.
The object of persecution is persecution.
The object of torture is torture.
The object of power is power”
- George Orwell


"To learn who rules over you, simply find out who you are not allowed to criticize."
- Voltaire



Speaking to the blind and fundamental [extremist] error, of those who worship, within the temple of Political Correctness [who are against open enquiry or transparency]....

"If the opinion is right, they are deprived of the opportunity of exchanging error for truth: if wrong, they lose, what is almost as great a benefit, the clearer perception and livelier impression of truth, produced by its collision with error."
- J.S. Mill - English philosopher - on people who try to silence opinions with which they disagree

Yes he is an idiot!

As Smith would say!

Want to see, what could be, the typical style of Australian ABC journalism 'at work', in 2021 ?


i.e.
Simply ignore and discard, others 'disagreeable' arguments [arguments which could otherwise 'disrupt', or 'insult', your own narrative].

tsk tsk

In these times of political polarisation, the ABC's editorial policy needs to be overhauled, if it is to genuinely reflect all Australian points of view.

They should report facts and statements. All inuendo and opinion, which is often under the heading of Analysis, should be vetted out. Americanisation in the form of personality politics should also be vetted. The PM is not a president under a different name. But Leftists at the ABC use this technique to focus their attacks.

As I have said before, if you cannot spot the way an ABC journalist votes in their first two paragraphs, you do not deserve to vote. It is as blatantly biased as anything the Qld Nationals have to say.

........that's being a mite diplomatic.

Essentially it's the Wokists using taxpayers' money to fund their own political agenda.

I'm Yadda.

I am a very 'delicate' and diplomatic person.

Ever so much.

Can't you tell ?

Read some of my posts.

;D

The ABC is the most middle ground balanced fair and reasonable broadcaster in Australia.

Most the the ABC criticism comes from the right wing belief that if you are not with us you are against us, they see a significant right wing bias as the middle ground.
