Tony Abbott’s communications minister Turnbull:
“I am not only a staunch listener and viewer of the ABC, I’m a great supporter of the work you do. The work of the ABC has never been so important as it is today.
….Those of you here that work for the ABC are working for an immensely important national institution, one that is a vital part of our democracy.”
“A vital part of our democracy”? The ABC does more to undermine democracy than even the unions, and that’s sure saying something!
Turnbull cannot possibly be unaware of the staggering leftist bias shown by the ABC. Therefore he’s either a liar, or he belongs in the Labor Party. Either way, he has no business being a minister in this government.
Is Abbot so afraid of being knifed in the back by the oleaginous prick? Is this why there has been no suggestion of cutting the one billion dollars of annual funding to Pravda Down Under and no insistence that it fulfils the terms of its charter?
The ABC is in open rebellion against the Australian Government and Abbot and his boys need to get off their arses and fix these commie bastards for good.
And they need to fix Malcolm Turncoat too, who has always been the ABC’s bumboy.
Damn right. That leftist cesspit is the single most poisonous and pervasive influence in Australian politics.

This has been and remains my view about American media, but it appears to apply to all Western media. My SSM (Soviet-style Media) designation for them is because they are so well aligned it’s as if all their editors are hooked up to the old Soviet Politburo. It’s worse than conspiracy which would leave tell tales. It’s consensus: anyone on the way up who steps outside the PC rules too far or too often is stymied in their advance, shown the door, or Breitbarted. They grok the consensus or they are gone.
I have a number of posts lamenting our attacks from SSM. I’ll share two that relate to your funding issue.
From April 2012:
and from August 2013:
For you it’s bad enough because the government keeps what should die from being despised by the audience it talks down to. For us it is worse because Americans never learn (arguably making them morons) and will give the GOP funds that it will moslty funnel to the despicable media that will then use it to demonize everyone to the right of Joe Stalin. All in the West have a common enemy in SSM; Americans have and additional enemy: he is us.
Sadly, that makes moronic Americans — many, many, many of them — your enemy too. For what it is worth, I beg your forgiveness.
We know well who the enemy is, Pascal and it has little to do with nationality and everything to do with ideology.
The anti-American leftist media here is the same animal you have in America. Only the accents differ.
They hate conservative Australians every bit as much.
My main point is that as individuals too easily distracted or misled in a nation under relentless attack, we are our own worst enemy. SSM’s job is to inculcate us to act like that; but too many of us are easily, even eagerly, led astray.

EXACTLY
DEFUND THE LEFTIST PROPAGANDA MACHINE
The destruction of ABC should be new conservative government’s first target…
And if the commie bastards don’t like it, then they can bloody well do their hate speech on their own fucking dime.

Spot on, KG
This guy has *no place* in the Aussie government, given that Abbott has already made statements about anti-free-speech laws being repealed and the so-called “Human Rights Commission” having their brief changed to encourage free speech.
ABC is nothing more than a left-wing propaganda outfit.
This guy needs to shape up super-fast or GTFO.
( I wouldn’t trust him to shape up so he should GTFO. )
