Abc Bias

[Aloysius]

And your point is?

Non biased.

Hi PZ.
Looks like Brexit nor Trump has caused your portfolio any harm.
(Just guessing).

Well I sold off any stocks with Trump implications so now it's OZ penny stocks; lithium and utilities.

Prices came down today so I bought some more

[Aloysius]

Aaaaaaaaaaah Mello, what can we do to help.

 

There was no point - at all - the post was meaningless.

 

Therefore meaninglessness is good in your eye.

 

Can't share that proposition at all.

 

I'm still waiting for someone to identify one - just one ABC commentator, Current affairs heavy, or even newsreader, that could by any stretch of imagination be called pro Coalition/anti ALP.

 

Contrast the considerable number of anti coalition/pro ALP/Green folks.

 

If thgat cannot be done then there is bias.

 

If there is bias then we cannot blame the ALP footsoldiers, we have to look at the management of the ABC - after all they hire and continue to employ biased folks to present news and current affairs.

 

 

In the end this will fix itself - people will trust the ABC less and less until they become irrelevant - that day is closer than it was! :dance:  :dance:  :dance:

'The ABC is letting Australia down': Paul Keating slams the national broadcaster

Malcolm Turnbull turns attack on ABC and the 'elite media' for distracting people
 

 

 

Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm!!

 

<span style="font-size:14px;">Seems that  Noel Pearson, Paul Keating, Malcolm Turnbull share a dim view of the "National Broadcaster"</span>

 

<span style="font-size:14px;">That they are agreeing with me is more than a little concerning.</span>

This post is meaninglessness as well because neither of those two pollies are agreeing with you.

There is no mention of "ABC Bias" in either article.

And last time I checked, ABC news constantly rates far higher than SBS news.

Do you watch SBS news by any chance?

[Aloysius]

Yes I watch SBS

 

Yes the ABC is biased - in it's staffing, in the staffs open pro ALP stance, in the failure of senior management to ensure even handed reporting and commentary.

 

Mere perusal of the resumes of senior commentators shows the political stance that they have long held.

 

You would look long and hard to find any senior commentators that are anti ALP I guess my previous challenge for anyone to cite any such ABC folks came up empty???

 

Yes the ABC is letting Australia down.

 

Yes the ABC is elitist.

 

These issues are not mutually exclusive as you seem to imagine.

What about Mark Scott?

[Aloysius]

Who - never saw him commentate!!

 

 

But well done- great effort you got a half an example.

 

Contrast Terry Jones, Virginia Trioli, Barrie Cassidy, regular frontline presenters.

 

 

 

More of the same this morning:

 

Trioli shows a clip of Penny Wong making all kinds of un founded accusations against Brandis - no equivalent clip giving what Brandis actually said.

 

 

This is bias so blatant that even the apathetic are noticing it.

[POWERZONE]

Who cares? Your original claim was the ABC was biased - in its staffing.

Mark Scott was the MD for ten years and was previously a Liberal Party member.

He was handpicked by the board and they were handpicked by the Howard Govt.

The howlybag bias claims were just as loud then as they are today which tells me it's all BS.

If Brandis or Abbott don't like negative media attention they should stop behaving like clowns.

It's not rocket science.

If you must disagree at least try to fairly represent the words you disagree with.

 

Clearly bias is evident primarily in the output of the ABC - broadcast programs.

 

This is an output generated by the staff of the organisation.

 

The staff of the organisation charged with generating this output are the Editors, researchers and presenters - the Staff.

 

Mark Scott was management charged with managing the organisation.

 

So there are still no valid examples of anti ALP ABC staffers.

 

This is of course unsurprising given the biased output of the staff.

 

Passing starnge that your examples of those discriminated against by the ABC are not ALP folks - now I wonder why that might be?

 

Could the be some emotional bias in your expressed opinions?

 

Should one see this as biased BS?

 

 

It's definitely not Rocket science I totally agree!!!!

It would be fair if you could stick to your original claim rather than changing the goalposts.

In your opinion. I suspect the claim is erroneous.

Editors, researchers and presenters - "the Staff" answer to the manager of the organisation.

The buck stops with management.

Why would you want to devalue the ABC by infiltrating it with staffers aligned to an unpopular Liberal Govt?

Let them stick to their usual routine of anti Labor diatribe in the predominately right wing newspapers.
 

Passing starnge that your examples of those discriminated against by the ABC are not ALP folks - now I wonder why that might be?

Easy, because imbecilic behaviour by Coalition MP's aren't the responsibility of the ALP
 

Could the be some emotional bias in your expressed opinions?

Could there be in yours? You're making the claim, not me.

 

Should one see this as biased BS?

As above. You are making the claim the ABC is biased because its staff don't have anti ALP values. That's about as biased as you can get.
 

It's definitely not Rocket science I totally agree!!!!

Of course it isn't. So it's time for the Coalition to start governing for the issues that matter to the country as opposed to airing their dirty laundry over personal grievances as demonstrated last week. Malcolm Turnbull needs to tell Tony Abbott to buzz off and stop white anting the Govt for his own personal gain.

There is no point in taking it out on the ABC when it's the Govt making their own headlines for all the wrong reasons.

Having no anti ALP bias and having anti Coalition bias is in fact bias!!!!

 

You are unable to cite any - any - anti ALP ABC staffers.

 

Oh dear.

Never mind.

Nice disclaimer. I prefer "Y'all stay beautiful!! ". It's a bit more neutral

Employment should be based on credentials, not political affiliations.

But OK, run with that. Ban all staff from any political party from working at the ABC.

Not that it will make any difference - Lib supporters will still claim it's biased - just can't please some people...

No offence intended there PZ - that Shakespeare quote sprang to mind is all.

Criticism for keeping an election policy and promise????

 

Hello?

 

Typical ABC bias evident here.

 

Why are folks so worrioed about the voters getting a say?

 

Is it because the voter, unlike a pollie is immune from pressure groups and single issue enthusiasts, thank goodness?
