yep, Vote Liberal if you want government by the media for the media.

i plan to vote liberal in part so the media can be free and yes, even free to be biased because bias isn't a crime against humanity. Censorship however, is.

How many times have you joined in with the other morons saying the govt. should withdraw funding from ABC because of it's bias????? HYpocrite

GOVERNMENTS are not entitled to bias as they represent EVERYONE. private people and private industry is entitled to all the bias they want since they pay for it. Im not saying the media is biased but rather that they are perfectly entitled to be and after Juliar's truly idiotic attempts at censorship now have full justification for doing so.

Until it all ends in tears for you.
The media can say anything they like about you being a wanker for instance, now even though that's true they would be required to retract that if you had a bitch about it. Problem is, by then everyone knows/ thinks you're a wanker anyway and the retraction is on page 95 underneath the budgies for sale classifieds.

even free to be biased

Media bias is terrible but somewhat acceptable. What we have seen the last 4 years is well past what anyone could consider to be a bias.

The legislation is hardly even a slap on the wrist and is in no way censorship.

so ? A tv station that is govt. funded is not the govt. Just like thousands of other organisations that are govt. funded are not the govt.

ABC has had more than it's fair share of stories to highlight inadequacies in labor policy over the last 5 yrs ... you really thing if labor had editorial control they would allow that? you're dumber than dog sh it if you believe that.

pretty much no one outside the labor party thinks there has even BEEN bias never mind the extent you think. The problem has always been that this govt has been riddled with scandal and so incompetent that there is rarely and good positive news to report. unbiased reporting would still say that this govt sucks.

you know what? you almost NEVER understand the poit of what someone says - anyone. you sot a couple words in a post and then launch into your opinion on a subject thinking you are responding. the whole concept of english comprehension seems to elude you

For the simple reason that is beyond your leftist-screwed head--

Murdock finances his newspapers while the ABC is funded by all taxpayers and therefore is obliged to be unbiased.

That is why many workers have given up on the unions, the sensible voices were not being heard.

By the way, how many businesses are closed because of union demands? How does that help a family man with a mortgage?
