Royal commission into ABC enforced rightie bias.. that's the real issue....

2 ABC or not 2 ABC.... that is the question....
Whether it is nobler in the mud to suffer the slings and arrows of outrageous forced tunes
Or to take arms against a sea of wankers....
And by opposing to end them....

Bit deep for some of you? It's Shakespeare, you ghetts....

Less surprising that you can clearly see that which isn't there.

The fact remains that every content audit does in fact result in a slight bias to the right.

Overall the ABC is the most politically balanced reporter in Australia and that is an undeniably proven fact.

If you want to see real bias just look to News LTD - Outlets like the Telegraph are little more than the Liberal party's propaganda publisher.

Righties compare this to the ABC and rightly see something a long way to the left, Unfortunately compared to their preferred media the centre is a long way to the left.

Georgina Downer basically built her entire profile as a budding liberal candidate through her regular appearances on The Drum and other ABC shows.

The Government wanted reporters sacked for criticising them....The Government appointed most of the board....The ABC is one of the only free to air service in a lot of remote and rural areas....The Government deserves criticism, the board is gone and Murdoch gets $30 million from the taxpayer with no explanation....A RC into the ABC is not required!!!
