I enjoy their lifestyle stuff and occasionally lisdten to talkback.<br />If any factual political content manages to mosey on through the ideological fence erected by the ABC types I hail it as an amazing moment but never assume it will be so.<br /><br />Apart from the huge cost to the taxpayer, I don't care any more. The ABC smuggery has left me tons of time to put on my news boots and charge forth into the world of real media online, <br />full to the brim of journalists commentators and researchers who know what they're talking about, especially on affairs pertaining to the ME and Obama.<br /><br />More time to delve into matters ignored and skewed by the Smuggery.

The solution is have the board sell of stuff like the JJJ and RN networks to start. Then sell ABC 2,3 & 4. Lastly sell ABC1 and local radio, leaving News Radio.

The Prof repeated it the other day that "silence" is consent/ acquiescence/ "support" being the default condition.<br /><br />Thus the "Government" is seen now primarily as a "corporation" existing first and foremost for the benefit of the "public service".<br /><br />While the public itself no longer have a corporation to represent them any amount of bastardry will ensue in the name of public service.<br /><br />Alas, all Australians need is some sort of deJure Judicial body that could represent them in some way. It is a novel idea. What would it look like?<br /><br />It is the Governor General who bears the greatest responsibility for these abuses of power; while no-one even slightly eyes that office. Protesters gather at the wrong gates. The media eyes the lesser players.<br /><br />And Jury nullification?

Whereas once it was a valuable national network in an emerging radio and TV environment (actually promoting a sense of national cohesiveness), it now stands as an unrepresentative (to at least half the voters) bastion of Fairfax-like luvvie agitprop. The locally produced drama and panel shows have an off flavour, while the best stuff still comes from overseas.<br />Fairfax is currently going down, and the ABC in it's present complexion would be similarly uncompetitive in a commercial setting.blogstropnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14457232127152238.post-14165997448717919072012-03-10T00:33:41.918+11:002012-03-10T00:33:41.918+11:00I saw early on the expression "I’m therefore ...I saw early on the expression "I’m therefore uncomfortable with any alterations ... ." <br /><br />"Uncomfortable with."

What's to sell?

The left/greens infested the universities first, infected students, who are now in charge of the ABC. A lot of bad things came out of the hippy-dippy 60s in the universities. The current ABC for one, but anti-dam and anti-nuclear faddists too.

There is a way to give all parties exactly what they want and therefore resolve the resentment of the people paying for a service that relentless attacks their interests. First, the staff - the unsackable collective - are given 100% ownership of the ABC, thus formalising their personal stake and investment in a terribly misunderstood business; however the Australian government retains ownership of all TV and radio broadcasting signals and infrastructure. In the final part of the bargain, taxpayers are relieved of their obligation to fund what will surely by one of Australia's most popular broadcasters, which already has high ratings in both TV and radio in all states. It's a win-win, people, which will shut up all those libertarians: an ABC totally funded by the market!Tomnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14457232127152238.post-65757880570261899712012-03-09T19:55:11.087+11:002012-03-09T19:55:11.087+11:00and the morbid thrall of watching the ABC overcome...and the morbid thrall of watching the ABC overcomes you in different ways on different nights. Mondays are for being thunderstruck by political bias ... then it's twentysomething vulgarity night ... then we-re all-family with marieke and denton.<br /><br />Interesting: Apparently small animals isolated on islands become progressively larger, generation by generation. Mice the size of rats etc. Well the ABC is that same closed little world, where insignificant and negligible creatures have swollen with their egos and conceits into grandiose parodies. The rats can't survive competition when it arrives, but they do shrink back to normal eventually.Bunyiphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14668398379654771814noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14457232127152238.post-35470000273976287912012-03-09T18:50:06.319+11:002012-03-09T18:50:06.319+11:00ABC news has a weird mesmerising force though.

This results in a lot of criticism being directed via blogs instead. <br />The organisation was founded way back when Radio was in its infancy. It did sterling service for many years, right up until around its 50th birthday. Since then it's all been downhill, with attitudes hardening against conservatives, current affairs bearing the imprint of those attitudes, and now even their locally produced drama is often a vehicle for more subliminal social engineering claptrap.<br />Since it has become incapable of presenting unbiassed coverage, its role as an honest alternative is long gone. It may as well be sold off entirely.blogstropnoreply@blogger.com
